The HSC and equivalent supplementary examinations will begin on December 1 for over 4.22 lakh students who failed in one or two subjects.

The HSC and equivalent supplementary examinations will begin on December 1 and continue until December 15. The schedule for this year’s supplementary exams was published on Thursday, leaving students with just 17 days to prepare. Candidates must verify their schedules with their respective colleges or education boards.

A total of 5,94,113 students failed this year’s HSC and equivalent examinations. Among them, 4,22,905 failed in one or two subjects and are eligible to sit for the supplementary exams. The remaining 1,71,208 students failed in more than two subjects. Education Minister A N M Ehsanul Hoque Milan announced the exams on October 31, stating that students failing one or two subjects would not need to wait until next year.

According to the exam routine, English Paper I and Paper II tests will be held on December 1. Bangla Paper I and Paper II are scheduled for December 2, followed by Physics, Accounting, and Logic on December 3. The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) exam will take place on December 5. Written exams will conclude on December 15 with Economics and Arabic. All practical examinations must also be completed within this timeframe.

Morning session exams will start at 10:00 am and afternoon sessions at 2:00 pm. Candidates must enter their exam centers at least 30 minutes before start time—by 9:30 am for the morning shift and 1:30 pm for the afternoon shift—to avoid entry complications caused by delays.

Authorities aim to publish the results by December 31, allowing successful students to prepare for university admissions early in the new year. For instance, first-year admission tests at Chittagong University will run from January 29 to February 8. Keeping track of the exam schedule will help candidates manage their study time effectively.

With limited time left, examinees need to create a subject-wise study plan based on the routine, especially those facing multiple exams in the same week. Candidates must also collect their admit cards and exam center details from their respective colleges in advance.
