SSC Paper Re-Scrutiny Applications Flood Rajshahi and Jashore Boards
Tens of thousands of Secondary School Certificate examinees have submitted applications for script re-evaluation following recent results. Education officials confirmed that all challenged papers will undergo rigorous re-assessment.
Educational authorities in the Rajshahi and Jashore education boards have received a massive volume of applications for the re-scrutiny of Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination answer scripts. The deadline for submitting these administrative challenges for both education boards officially concluded on August 17, 2026, setting the stage for a comprehensive review process involving thousands of academic records.
Specifically, the Rajshahi Education Board has registered a staggering 98,710 individual applications from candidates challenging their initial SSC examination results. This heavy administrative load comes in the wake of an examination cycle that saw a total of 1,76,0৪৪ students sit for the tests within the jurisdiction of the Rajshahi board. Out of this total candidate pool, 1,12,086 students successfully passed the examinations, resulting in an overall pass rate of 63.67 percent, while 16,113 candidates secured the prestigious GPA-5 grade.
Meanwhile, the Jashore Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board has similarly experienced a high demand for script verification, receiving a total of 74,717 applications for paper re-scrutiny. Officials noted that these widespread appeals from students span across 25 distinct academic subjects for which applications have been officially submitted to the Jashore board.
Addressing the current technical status of the administrative backlog, Professor Iffat Zerin explained the procedural limitations regarding subject-specific breakdowns. 'Since the applications are currently in the form of subject codes, it is not possible to state the detailed subject-wise numbers at this moment,' Professor Zerin stated, highlighting the preliminary nature of the ongoing data processing.
Providing reassurance to concerned students and parents, Professor S. M. Hossain Ali outlined the strict protocol that education authorities will enforce moving forward. 'Every script applied for re-scrutiny will be re-evaluated,' Professor Hossain Ali affirmed. He further detailed the accountability measures, warning that if any mistakes are found in the evaluation and grading of the scripts, those errors will be duly corrected, and legal action under examination laws will be initiated against the examiners responsible for the evaluation mistakes.
