JSC, JDC exams of Nov 2, 3 rescheduled

The Junior School Certificate (JSC) and Junior Dakhil Certificate (JDC) examinations slated for Sunday (Nov) 2 and Monday (Nov 3) have been rescheduled for November 7 and 14 respectively due to  hartal called by Jamaat-e-Islami.

Education secretary Nazrul Islam Khan announced this at a press briefing at his Mintoo Road residence on Thursday.

He said Sunday’s Bangla 1st paper examination of JSC examinees will be held from 9 am to 12 pm on November 7 while Monday’s Bangla 2nd paper examination will be held from 9 to 11 am on November 14.

Besides, the JDC examinees’ Quran Majid and Tasbid examinations will be held on November 7 while their A’t-tawhid-ul-Fikah and Aqayed and Fikah exams will be held on November 14.

A total of 2,090,692 students — 1,764,595 from schools and 3,26,097 from madrasahs — will sit for the examinations from 27,925 institutions throughout the country.

Hours after the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT)-1 condemned Jamaat ameer Nizami to death for crimes against humanity during the 1971 Liberation War on Wednesday, the Islamist party announced a 72-hour staggered nationwide shutdown programme.
