HSC exams to resume under new routine from Aug 11

The Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations will resume under a fresh routine on August 11 after they were suspended amid the unrest surrounding the quota reform protests across the country.

Tapan Kumar Sarkar, president of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee and chairman of the Dhaka Education Board, on Thursday said, “A new schedule will be announced either today or tomorrow”.

Earlier, the HSC and equivalent exams of all the education boards were postponed several times. The exams were first postponed on 18 July, then the exams of 21, 23 and 25 were postponed.

After that, the exams of 28 July to 1 August were postponed and the exams were supposed to resume from 4 August.

But according to the new decision, the exams will be taken from 11 August as per a new routine.
