The exam will, however, be held as planned in all other districts across the country, according to a press release issued by the Dhaka Education Board. Gopalganj falls under the jurisdiction of this board.
The postponed exam is the Geography (Theory) Second Paper, which was set to take place on Thursday morning.

The press release also stated that a new date for the postponed Geography exam in Gopalganj will be announced later through an official notification.
