HSC Re-evaluation Results: 201 Dhaka Board Students Secure New GPA-5, 308 Move from Fail to Pass

The re-evaluation results of the 2026 Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations have been released, bringing relief and renewed hope to thousands of candidates. According to the Dhaka Board of Secondary and Higher Education, 201 students have newly secured a GPA-5 after re-checking, while 308 students who had originally failed have now passed.

The revised results were officially announced on Sunday morning. Board officials confirmed that a total of 79,671 candidates applied for re-evaluation this year, one of the highest figures in recent times. Following the review process, 2,331 candidates experienced changes in their results, demonstrating the significance of the re-scrutiny system in correcting evaluation errors.

In a previous statement, the board noted that the re-evaluated results had been made available on its official website and were also sent directly via SMS to applicants’ registered mobile numbers. Unlike previous years, the entire application process was conducted exclusively online, with the window for submission closing on 23 October.

Officials explained that most corrections resulted from miscalculations, tabulation errors, or scanning issues during the initial assessment. Several students and parents had expressed concerns after the publication of the original results on 16 October 2025, prompting large-scale applications for re-examination.

Education observers note that revised results often play a crucial role in university admissions. Many of the students who gained GPA-5 or moved from fail to pass will now regain eligibility for higher education programmes and competitive admission tests.

The board emphasised that re-evaluation ensures transparency and fairness by giving students an opportunity to rectify possible discrepancies in marking.
