The 2016 Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations will begin around the country on February 1.
The Ministry of Education published the SSC exam schedule on its website yesterday.
The tests will be held from 10am to 1pm in the morning session and from 2pm to 5pm in the afternoon session, according to the schedule. The examination will end on March 8.
Eight education boards, a madrasa education board and a technical education board will conduct the SSC, Dakhil and SSC vocational examinations.
The Madrasa Education Board, however, have yet to publish the schedule of Dakhil examinations.
Starting next year, students will be given the multiple-choice questions (MCQ) section of each test first, which will be followed by the narrative/creative section after a 10-minute break.
