The postponed Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent exams will now be conducted with only half the original number of questions, officials announced today.
The exams, which were delayed earlier, will also see a rescheduling, with the new timetable set to be pushed back by at least two weeks.
The decision was reached during an emergency meeting at the Ministry of Education, chaired by the interim government’s Education Adviser, Wahiduddin Mahmud.
Prof. Tapan Kumar Sarker, head of the Inter-Education Board Coordinating Committee and chairman of the Dhaka Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board, confirmed the changes to UNB.
