The Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent exams scheduled for August 11 have been postponed due to widespread violence across the country.

Prof. Tapan Kumar Sarkar, chairman of the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Dhaka, and head of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee, announced the decision to the media on Tuesday.
He explained that the question papers, which had already been dispatched to police stations, were destroyed in the violence. As a result, new papers will need to be printed, making it impossible to conduct the exams as planned.
The postponement follows multiple delays to the HSC examinations due to recent unrest related to the Quota Reform Movement.
