The rest of the HSC exams will be held with half marks, delayed by two weeks

The examination for HSC and other equivalent subjects is further delayed. The rest of the exams will be held with half questions. This decision was taken at the meeting held in the Ministry of Education under the chairmanship of Wahiduddin Mahmud, Education Advisor of the Interim Government.

Dhaka Education Board Chairman Professor Tapan Kumar Sarkar informed this information.

For example, if you had to answer 8 questions in a previous subject, here you have to answer four questions. But the examination time is full time.

HSC and equivalent examinations were postponed several times due to the situation arising out of the quota reform movement in government jobs and student uprisings.

First, the last July 18 exam was postponed. Then the exams of 21, 23 and 25 July were simultaneously postponed. The examination was then postponed from July 28 to August 1. Later it was decided that the HSC and equivalent exams will be conducted in the new schedule from August 11. But later it was informed that the exam is not being held on August 11.

A source in the education board said that after Sheikh Hasina resigned from the post of Prime Minister and left the country, the trunks containing question papers were damaged in attacks on police stations in various areas. For this, the decision to take the exam was postponed from August 11. The Board of Education had proposed to the interim government to conduct the postponed examinations from September 11. It was also approved.

Meanwhile, the examinees protested yesterday Monday at the Dhaka Education Board from noon to evening that they were not in a condition to sit for the examination. In the situation that arises, the examinees want the results of the examination to be published based on the number of subjects that have already been examined. After discussing with the higher authorities in the evening, Dhaka Education Board's examination control gave positive assurances about meeting the logical demands. Abul Bashar.
