Education Minister Dipu Moni said on Monday that all coaching centers would remain closed from September 12 to October 2 to check the question leak during the secondary school certificate and its equivalent exams of 2022 from September 15.
This year the number of SSC examinees is reduced by 2,21,386 to 20,21,868 which was 22,43,254 in 2021’s examinations, she said at a press conference.
‘The number of examinees has reduced this year because the number of irregular candidates has reduced,’ the minister said.
She explained that the SSC 2021 and equivalent exams were held on short curricula and three subjects, which increased the pass rate.
‘That is why the number of our irregular candidates is fewer this year,’ she said at the press conference held at the ministry conference room at the secretariat.
This year the number of exam centres is 3,790 at 29,591 educational institutions. Like 2021 this year the examinations will be held on short syllabus and time. The examinations will start at 11:00am instead of 10:00am. This year, the examinations will be held for two hours instead of three hours.
Some 15,99,711 students will sit for the examinations under nine general education boards while 2,68,495 will take the exams under Madrassah Board and 1,63,662 students will take the exams under the Technical Education Board.
All examinees were asked to enter their respective examination rooms 30 minutes before the start and no one except the examination secretary is allowed to carry mobile phones.
The SSC and its equivalent examinations of all education boards, which were due to start on June 19, have been postponed due to the flooding situation in the country.
