Tapan Kumar Sarker, chairman of Dhaka Education Board and President of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee said: "The application for reevaluation will start from Monday, and will continue until May 19."
He said that if anyone is dissatisfied or unhappy with the results, they can apply for a reevaluation. They can do this online from the comfort of their home. Later, the board will review the scripts and resolve the applications.
Four aspects of the script are checked in reevaluation
Officials from the education board state that when a student's script is reevaluated, it is not regraded. Instead, four aspects of the answer script are examined during the reevaluation process. These include whether all the questions in the answer script have been correctly marked, whether the total marks have been calculated correctly, whether the marks have been properly transferred to the OMR sheet, and whether the circles on the OMR sheet have been filled correctly according to the marks obtained.
The results of the reevaluation are determined after checking these aspects. If any mistakes are found in these areas, they are corrected, and the results are reissued.
Education Minister Mohibul Hasan Chowdhury handed over the results summary to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday morning.
According to the results, the pass rate in Dhaka board is 83.92%, 89.13% in Barisal , 82.8% in Chittagong, 79.23% in Comilla, 78.4% in Dinajpur, 89.26% in Rajshahi, 73.35% in Sylhet, 84.97% in Mymensingh, and 92.32% in Jessore. The pass rate in madrasa board is 79.66%.
