The government is planning to hold the Secondary School Certificate and equivalent exams from Feb 15 next year, according to officials, reports bdnews24.com.

The schedule for the exams will be published on education board websites on Thursday, said Tapan Kumar Sarkar, head of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee.

The 2024 exams will mark a return to the traditional schedule after a four-year disruption caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

The tests will cover all subjects and will be graded on full marks. Students will also be allocated the customary three hours to complete each exam.

Traditionally, the SSC exams were held in early February, followed by the Higher Secondary Certificate tests in April.
