The results of the re-scrutiny of SSC and equivalent examination answer scripts will be published on 10 September, according to the country’s education boards.
A total of 402,051 students applied for re-scrutiny this year, submitting nearly 1.3 million applications across the 11 education boards. As students can apply to have multiple subjects re-evaluated, the number of applications is significantly higher than the number of applicants.
More than 1.1 million students passed the SSC and equivalent examinations this year, with over 400,000 subsequently seeking re-scrutiny of their results.
The large number of applications has raised concerns among students and guardians about whether the results will be published on schedule. However, education board officials said preparations are underway to release the results on 10 September as announced.
“We are targeting 10 September. Hopefully, students will receive their results that day,” said Professor Syed Aktaruzzaman, chairman of the Bangladesh Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee and Dhaka Education Board.
“If the publication is delayed for any reason, the deadline for applying for admission to Class XI will also be extended,” he added.
Applications for result re-scrutiny opened on 11 August and remained open until midnight on 17 August.
Of the total applications, 1,056,455 were for written examination answer scripts, while another 231,471 were for practical examination scripts.
Dhaka Education Board received the highest number of applications. A total of 94,236 students applied to have 277,665 written-exam scripts and 58,012 practical-exam scripts re-scrutinised.
More than 35,000 students applied in Cumilla, over 39,000 in Rajshahi, more than 28,000 in Jashore, over 39,000 in Chattogram, more than 17,000 in Barishal, over 20,000 in Sylhet, more than 37,000 in Dinajpur and 27,676 in Mymensingh.
Meanwhile, more than 40,000 students applied for re-scrutiny under the Madrasah Education Board, while the Technical Education Board received applications from more than 20,000 students.
