The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exams for 2025 are likely to be held by two months later than usual due to scheduling adjustments.
The education boards have accepted a plan to hold next year's SSC examination in April, after the holy Eid-ul-Fitr, according to the sources of the Dhaka Education Board.
As the SSC exams are delayed, HSC and equivalent exams are also delayed by two months. This exam may be conducted in June next year.
According to the syllabus, every year SSC exams are held in the beginning of February and the HSC exam in the beginning of April. However, due to the advent of Corona, the entire syllabus was messed up from March 2020.
In 2023, SSC and equivalent exams started on April 30. Although the schedule began returning to normal last year with the exams starting on February 15, they are being postponed once again for the upcoming year.
As the education boards had started preparation for the SSC exam assuming that the exam will be held in February next year, the selective examination is going on in the schools and form filling has also been announced from December 1.
However, it was suddenly decided to postpone the exam. But the specific reason for the delay yet to be known.
According to Dhaka Education Board sources, SSC and equivalent exams for 2024 will be held based on the full syllabus and the exam will be conducted with full marks and time in all subjects.
But due to the recent political unrest, it is not possible to finish the syllabus properly. Besides, there are also applications from students and parents in this regard. So to avoid any problem with the examination, a plan has been taken to postpone the SSC examination after the holy Eid-ul-Fitr.
