Results of Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and its equivalent exams for 2021 will be published on Sunday (February 13), education ministry's public relations officer Abul Khair said today.

Last year's exams were held on fewer subjects and a shortened syllabus. It was held eight months later than the usual schedule as the government waited for the coronavirus infections to come under control.

The examinees took tests only in three optional subjects. They did not have to sit for tests in compulsory subjects like Bangla and English. The exams carried fewer marks.

The exams for 2020 did not take place last year, with the results prepared based on the candidates' performance in previous public exams.
