The postponed SSC and equivalent exams of March 8 and March 10 will be held on March 27 and March 28 respectively.

As per the new schedule, the exams of March 27 will begin at 9:00am, while those of March 28 at 10:00am, said a press release published on the Ministry of Education website today.

The revised date for the postponed Dakhil exams of March 11 will be announced later, the press release stated.

The BNP-led 20-party alliance has enforced hartal on all working days since February 1, on top of the nonstop countrywide blockade which was called from January 6 of this year.

Earlier, the government was forced to reschedule several SSC and equivalent examinations due to the hartal.
