Urgent Instructions Regarding the HSC Exam Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Dhaka

Ahead of the 2025 Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations, the Dhaka Education Board has issued urgent instructions to ensure the security of question papers. On Sunday, June 15, two official orders were issued, signed by the Board’s Exam Controller, Professor S.M. Kamal Uddin Hayder. The office orders instruct center secretaries to ensure the security, timely delivery, and correct set of question papers. Additionally, it was stated that question papers sent from BG Press for the 2025 HSC exams must be verified in accordance with the prescribed statement. Any discrepancies in the number of sets — either excess or shortage — must be reported to the Board via email by June 19.

Another office order mentions that the written answer scripts of the 2025 HSC examination must be submitted to the Exam Controller’s office on the same day of the exam. The center in-charge must personally hand them over or send them through an authorized teacher under police escort, ensuring safe custody.

If in-person delivery is not possible, the answer scripts must be sent on the same day via railway parcel with the time clearly mentioned. If neither option is possible, then the sealed bags/packets/boxes containing the answer scripts must be stored in the treasury or local police station custody. These must later be retrieved, with a certificate from the respective authority, and submitted without breaking the seal, under police escort, either by the in-charge or an authorized teacher directly to the Exam Controller’s office.

Under no circumstances can the written answer scripts be sent using any other method. Note: The 2025 HSC and equivalent examinations will commence on June 26. The theoretical exams will continue until August 10, and the practical exams will be held from August 11 to August 24.
