DHAKA, July 26, 2021 (BSS) - The Secondary School Certificate (SSC),  Higher Secondary Certificates (HSC)-2021 and its equivalent examinations will be held this year on three elective subjects of each group and with a reduced syllabus in line with health protocols.

The decision was taken considering the Covid-19 situation, said a press release issued today signed by SM Amirul Islam,Exam Controller of the Dhaka Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education.
