Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and its equivalent examinations will begin on April 5 instead of earlier announced date of April 1.
Eight education boards, the Technical Education Board and Madrasa Education Board will conduct the nearly two-month-long examinations for 2011.
On Thursday, the education ministry approved the examinations routine sent by the inter-education board.
Earlier, the ministry in its annual plan announced April 1 for beginning the exams, as like last year.
Board sources said the date was put back by five days taking the ongoing World Cup and public holiday into consideration.
According to the routine, the written examinations of HSC and its equivalent Alim and Business Management will continue until May 31. Practical examinations will be held afterwards.
The exam routine is available on the Dhaka Education Board website: www.dhakaeducationboard.gov.bd.
