The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations for 2024 started Thursday, with over 2 million students from 29,735 educational institutions expected to participate, reports UNB.
The exams started at 10 am across 3,700 centers nationwide.
To ensure the integrity of the examination process, no mobile phones or electronic devices will be permitted within the exam centers, except for a basic phone set without internet access to be used exclusively by the hall secretary.
The question code will be disclosed 25 minutes prior to the start of each exam, streamlining the process for students and staff alike.
In a notable departure from tradition, Education Minister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury Nowfel has decided not to visit any examination centers this year, aiming to reduce the stress levels among students.
