The schedule for this year’s Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations has been officially announced, with theoretical exams set to commence on 21 April 2026.

The announcement was made on Thursday, 15 January, through a notice signed by Professor S.M. Kamal Uddin Haider, Controller of Examinations for the Dhaka Education Board and Chairperson of the Inter-Education Board Examination Committee. According to the official timetable, the examinations will continue until 20 May 2026, with each exam starting promptly at 10:00 AM. Practical assessments are scheduled to be completed between 7 June and 14 June 2026.

This year’s schedule represents a deviation from the usual pattern, as SSC exams are typically held in February, while Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) exams begin in April. Last year and this year, however, both schedules have been adjusted.
