Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinees in Dhaka battle heavy rain to reach their exam centres on Sunday morning. The total number of examinees in the eight other General Education Boards, the Madrasa Education Board, and the Technical Education Board stands at 1,368,373. The authorities should have thought about the exam schedule at this time of the year. Since 2010, the SSC and HSC exams have been held in the first week of February and the first week of April respectively. Due to the global crisis, students were awarded certificates without taking the HSC exam in 2020.
