This year in Bangladesh SSC, 68.45% of students cleared the exams, a considerable slide from 2024’s impressive 83.04% pass rate result. The number of students achieving the highest GPA-5 also saw a sharp decline, falling to 1,39,032 from last year’s 1,82,129.

This year, approximately 6 lakh students failed to pass the SSC and equivalent examinations.

The announcement was made by Professor Khondoker Ehsanul Kabir, Chairman of the Dhaka Education Board and President of the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee. The press briefing was held at the Dhaka Board office, as the Education Ministry skipped the traditional result handover ceremony this time.

Education Adviser CR Abrar had earlier confirmed that the results would go out without any formalities.

Girls lead in performance

This year’s results brought encouraging news on the gender front: female students outperformed male students, both in terms of overall pass rates and GPA-5 achievements.

While 71.03% of female students passed, only 65.88% of male students managed to clear the exams. The GPA-5 tally also leaned in favour of girls, as 73,616 female students secured the top score, outnumbering their male counterparts, who stood at 65,416.

Out of the 19,28,970 students who had registered for the SSC and equivalent exams, the gender split was almost equal, with 9,67,739 girls and 9,61,231 boys.
