The ongoing 2026 Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations under the Chattogram Education Board have been suspended indefinitely. The announcement was made on Thursday night through a notice signed by Professor Syed Akhtaruzzaman, Chairman of the Dhaka Education Board and President of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee. Examinations under other education boards will continue according to the existing schedule.

According to the notice, the decision was taken after reviewing the overall post-flood situation in affected areas, the physical and mental condition of students, discussions with stakeholders, and the difficulties in transportation due to damaged roads. The suspension applies to all remaining subjects of HSC, Alim, HSC (BMT), HSC (Vocational), and Diploma in Commerce examinations under the Chattogram Education Board, Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board, and Bangladesh Technical Education Board in the Chattogram region.

A revised schedule for the postponed examinations will be announced later through an official notice.
