Students who failed one or two subjects in this year’s HSC and equivalent examinations will have an opportunity to retake those subjects from December 1.

The education boards released the supplementary examination schedule on Thursday. According to the timetable, the exams will run until December 15, bdnews24.com reports.

English First and Second Papers will be held on the opening day, followed by Bangla First and Second Papers on the next day. The examinations will conclude with Economics and Arabic, covering both papers of each subject.

Each subject will have two examination shifts. The first paper will take place from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, while the second paper will be held from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

Marks from previous practical examinations will remain valid. Only candidates who failed or were absent from the practical tests will need to retake them.

Candidates have been advised to contact their examination centre’s officer-in-charge or their institution’s principal to learn about the practical examination schedule and venue. The authorities must conduct the practical tests and upload the marks online by December 15.

Where applicable, candidates must pass the written, multiple-choice and practical sections separately.

Students have also been instructed to collect their admit cards from their respective institution heads at least five days before the examinations.

The number of candidates expected to sit for the supplementary exams remains unknown, said Prof Syed Akhtaruzzaman, president of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee and chairman of the Dhaka Education Board. The supplementary examination system is being introduced for the first time this year.
