To know about SSC and equivalent results, pre-registration will continue before publishing the results. SMS should be sent to 16222 with the text SSC/Dakhil
Dhaka Education Board Chairman Prof Ziaul Haque, who is the Head of Inter-Board Coordination Committee, said that this year students will not be able to collect their results from educational institutions.
The government closed all educational institutions from March 17 to 31. Later, the shutdown was extended till May 30.
The government earlier planned to publish the results on May 7 or 8, but could not publish it due to school closure.
