Three students under the Dhaka Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board (SHED) who failed this year’s Secondary School Certificate and equivalent exams have received a GPA-5 after their answer scripts were re-checked.
A total of 293 students who failed earlier have now passed the exams, while 286 students now have a GPA-5.
The Dhaka SHED released the results of the SSC rechecks on Sunday.
Prof SM Kamal Uddin Haider, board examination controller and convenor of the Inter-Education Board Examination Regulatory Committee, told bdnews24.com: "At least 92,676 candidates applied for a recheck of 222,533 exam papers. Of these, a total of 2,946 had their grade points changed.”
“A total of 293 students who failed earlier have now passed the exams while an additional 286 students secured a GPA-5 instead of a lower GPA. In addition, three students who failed earlier have received a GPA-5.”
The education boards have released the results of the rechecks on their websites.
Students are being informed of the updated results through an SMS to the mobile phone number they used to apply for rechecking their copies.
Earlier, authorities accepted applications for revaluation of results from Jul 11 to Jul 17. Students applied through the Teletalk mobile operator by paying a fee of Tk 150 for each paper re-checked.
The SSC and equivalent examinations results were published on Jul 10. As many as 660,000 students failed this year's SSC and equivalent examinations.
During the rechecking of copies, the education boards does not re-evaluate the results, but recalculate the marks obtained by the students. Even if they initially fail, many apply for rechecking of the SSC and HSC examination answer scripts and eventually pass the exams.
After applying for the rechecking of last year's HSC and equivalent examination answer copies, 1,273 candidates who failed earlier eventually passed, while 704 students got a GPA-5. Of these, two candidates had failed earlier but secured a GPA-5 after applying for rechecks.
