Inter-Education Board Exam Controller Committee published the routine for the HSC and equivalent supplementary examinations on Thursday.
According to the schedule, the 2026 HSC supplementary examination will begin on 1 December and run through 15 December.
The examinations will start with English First Paper and Second Papers. Bangla First and Second Papers will be held on 2 December, Physics, Accounting, and Logic on 3 December, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on 5 December.
The tests will conclude on 15 December with the Economics and Arabic. Practical examinations must also be completed by 15 December.
If a student fails one or more subjects in public examinations like the SSC and HSC, they have to sit for the examination again after a full year during the following year’s exams. In that system, candidates have the option to take exams only in the failed subjects or in all subjects if they choose.
However, failing in just one or two subjects forces a candidate to wait an entire year. This year, the Education Department decided to conduct re-examinations within one month for candidates who failed in a maximum of two subjects.
The results of the 2026 HSC and equivalent examinations were published on 31 October. A total of 4,22,905 candidates failed in one or two subjects this year. Among them, 2,98,040 candidates failed in one subject, while 1,24,865 candidates failed in two subjects.
