Next year’s HSC exams on short syllabus

Next year's Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) exams will be held on a revised or short syllabus, said Education Minister Dipu Moni yesterday.

Replying to a question, the minister said the decision was taken as the candidates who would appear for the exam were not getting enough classes to cover the full syllabus.

So, the syllabus will be revised for next year's HSC exams scheduled to be held in August, she added while interacting with journalists at Chandpur Circuit House around noon.

On July 7, a circular signed by the inter-boards coordination committee president Tapan Kumar Sarker said the HSC and equivalent examinations in 2024 will be held on the revised syllabus formulated in 2023. Tests will be held on all subjects. Each examination will be three hours long and will carry full marks, it added.
