The success rate for this year's Primary Education Completion (PEC) exams for school students stands at 95.18 percent while 92.94 percent madrasa-goers cleared the Ebtedayee exams.
The PEC and Ebtedayee primary school completion exams were taken by 3,096,075 students at 7,267 exam centres between Nov 19 and Nov 26.
Success rate for the PEC exams fell from previous year's 98.51 percent. The case for the Ebtedayee exams is similar—dropping from last year’s 95.85 percent.
A total of 262,609 students scored GPA 5 in the PEC exams and in the Ebtedayee exams, 5,023.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina published the results on Saturday at the Ganabhaban after Primary and Mass Education Minister Mostafizur Rahman handed over it to her.
“The success rate is good…Our students are meritorious. They will study and pass the exams; there’s no question of being unsuccessful,” Hasina said after officially releasing the results of this year’s exams.
The primary education minister presented the highlights of the results at a media call later at his office, after which individual results were available to students at their institutions.
Results are also available through mobile phone text messages.
A student will have to type ‘DPE<space>Upazila code<space>roll number<space>2017’ and send the message to 16222 to get the result in a return SMS.
Ebtedayee students will have to type ‘EBT’ in place of ‘DPE’.
The codes are available on the DPE (directorate of primary education) website, and at the schools and local education department offices.
The first five digits of the government or private primary school’s EMIS code will have to be used as the Upazila/Thana code. The EMIS code can be found at the Primary Education Department’s website, the district’s Primary Education Office, the Upazila/Thana Education Office and the Primary School.
Results will be also available on the websites of the DPE, state-owned mobile phone operator Teletalk.
