SSC registration starts online on April 1

Candidates of Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exams will be allowed to take part in the public exam without having to sit for the test exams that precedes.

Dhaka Education Board in a notification yesterday evening asked all school authorities to complete the form fill up process online between April 1 and April 7. It also said the process could be done until April 15 with a delay fee. 

A science group student would need to pay Tk 1,980 as fee for registering. Students of business studies and humanities would have to pay Tk 1,650.

Candidates have been asked to pay their tuition fees until December 2020. The notification said tuition fees for 2021 cannot be realised.

Usually, SSC and HSC candidates need to qualify in test exams and have at least 70 percent class attendance to be allowed to sit for SSC and HSC exams.

On March 17 last year, the government closed all educational institutions aiming to contain the spread of coronavirus.

On February 27 this year, after a year of closure and significant academic losses, the government announced that all schools and colleges will be reopening on March 30.

The government decided to resume in-person classes in all primary, secondary, and higher secondary schools in phases, Education Minister Dipu Moni said.

She said fifth graders, and SSC, and HSC candidates would be brought back to schools and colleges for daily classes.

She also said SSC exams would be held on the shortened syllabus and the lessons for those could be completed in 60 working days.
