Candidates for the 2026 Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) exams will be able to enter centers from 8:30 a.m. Officials in charge of the centers have been asked to make the necessary arrangements. The decision is aimed at easing the traffic congestion and public disruption around the centers.
The matter was conveyed in a letter from the Dhaka Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education on Wednesday (June 17). The letter has been sent to the officials in charge of all HSC exam centers under the Dhaka education board.
The letter says that, to ease traffic and public disruption around the 2026 HSC exam centers, officials in charge are specifically requested to arrange for candidates only to enter the center premises from 8:30 a.m. However, the earlier directive on entry to the exam hall will remain in force. Officials have been instructed to take the necessary measures in this regard.
This year’s HSC exams begin on July 2 and end on August 8, while practical exams must be completed by August 15. Under the routine, the first day will hold the Bangla first paper (compulsory) exam. On the final day, August 8, the finance, banking and insurance second paper and the child development second paper exams will be held. On scheduled days, exams will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., and a second shift will run from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Candidates must take their seats in the exam hall at least 30 minutes before the exam begins.
