In the wake of Covid-19, no exams were held last year and the evaluation was done on the basis of a student s Junior School Certificate (JSC) and Secondary School Certificate (SSC) results.
The HSC batch of 2020 will be the first batch of students to get certificates without sitting for final tests, as it s the first time in the history of Bangladesh that a public exam has been cancelled.

The government has extended the closure of all educational institutions till February 28.
The education and the primary and mass education ministries issued separate statements on extension of the closure yesterday. However, Qawmi madrasas will remain outside the purview of the government s directive.
On March 17 last year, the government closed all schools to contain the spread of coronavirus. The closure led to cancellation of exams, leaving academic calendars in disarray.
The Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education and the Directorate of Primary Education have already asked all colleges, secondary schools and primary schools to prepare for reopening.
Schools facing trouble over group separation
The country’s schools are facing trouble over separation of group in class nine as all students have been automatically promoted to class IX this year due to Covid-19 pandemic.
This year the students were promoted to next class without holding the Junior School Certificate (JSC) and Junior Dakhil Certificate (JDC) examinations in 2020.
As a result, the schools are facing problems over separation of groups such as science and commerce.
Usually, the students were given the science and commerce groups based on their results in several subjects like Mathematics and English.
But the school cannot follow the system as no exam was held and students were not provided with any mark based on their subjects due to auto promotion.
