The results of the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examination and its equivalent examinations of 2024 are going to be published today (Tuesday.) The results will be published at 11:00 am.
The chairmen of the relevant education boards will announce the results. Chairman of Dhaka Education Board and head of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee Prof Tapan Kumar Sarkar confirmed this information to the media.
The results this year were prepared through subject mapping, where marks for six cancelled examinations were calculated based on students’ results from the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent exams.
For subjects where examinations were conducted, the answer sheets were evaluated based on the full marks for those subjects.
This year, the HSC and its equivalent examinations began across the country except in Sylhet division on June 30. The examinations in Sylhet division started on July 9 as the Ministry of Education deferred the board’s exams due to flooding.
However, the HSC exams were disrupted due to deadly violence during the quota reform protests. The remaining exams were postponed, and after the fall of the Hasina-led government, the interim government rescheduled the exams for September 11.
Meanwhile, amid protests by some HSC candidates, the remaining exams were cancelled on August 20.
Students will be able to check their results through SMS and official websites.
Visiting the Dhka Education Board website (www.dhakaeducationboard.gov.bd), www.educationboardresults.gov.bd, or www.eduboardresults.gov.bd, and clicking on the "Result" section, institutions can download result sheets by entering their EIIN number. Besides, students can download their individual result sheets using their roll and registration numbers.
Results will also be accessible via the board's official Android app. Furthermore, students who pre-register via SMS will receive their results directly on their mobile phones.
To pre-register, students must go to the message option of any mobile operator and type: HSC<>Board Name (First 3 Letters)<>Roll<>Year and send it to 16222.
After eight days of the exams, all exams were postponed this year amid unrest centring the quota reform movement and subsequent mass upsurge.
The education ministry had decided to evaluate the students using subject mapping method for other subjects based on the SSC results.
A total of 1,450,790 students from nine general Education Boards, Madrasa Board and Technical Board were expected to sit for the exams from 9,463 educational institutions at 2,275 centres across the country.
Meanwhile, Education Adviser Wahiduddin Mahmud on Monday said that if all HSC candidates are given an auto-pass, it will undermine the results of the majority students who passed the examinations through their hard work and efforts.
He came up with the comments on the demand of some students for giving an auto-pass to all the HSC candidates this year.
“I have heard that a small number of students has raised a demand regarding the upcoming HSC examination results, saying that all should be given auto-pass,” said the adviser,
Noting that it would have been better to take the rest of the HSC exams this year, Wahiduddin Mahmud said that the authorities had to make an immediate announcement of the cancellation of the HSC exams in an unexpected situation in the secretariat.
The board authorities have informed the adviser that they were preparing the final results following the previous precedents and taking the results of related SSC subjects into cognizance for those HSC subjects, which exams were cancelled.
The results of those who failed in any subject in SSC and took the opportunity to retake the exam in the next year have also been taken into consideration, Wahiduddin said, adding, therefore, those who will not pass in the final results cannot be said that they have been deprived.
“If all candidates are given auto-pass now it will undermine the results of the majority students who have passed the exams (through hard work). So, I do not see any logical ground for such demand (of giving an auto-pass to all),” he added.
