The results of Higher Secondary Certificate and equivalent examinations held under 10 education boards will be published on Saturday, education ministry officials said yesterday.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid will hand over a copy of the results to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina at 10:00am, said Shubodh Chandra Dhali, senior public relations officer of the ministry.
“The education minister will formally announce the results through a press briefing at his ministry at 1:00pm,” Shubodh told The Daily Star.
Examinees will get results from their respective centres and websites of their boards.
They can also get the results by sending SMS from any mobile operators.
Board officials said they had to face difficulties in maintaining government-fixed timeframe of 60 days for publishing the results due to hartals during and after the exams.
The shutdowns forced the authorities to reschedule exams of 30 subjects.
The exam began on April 1 with 10,12,581 students registered to take it. The written exams were scheduled to end on May 28, but some examinations were held in June due to hartals.
