[1] The SSC examination system in Bangladesh traces its roots to the colonial period under British rule.
The system has evolved over time, and since Bangladesh's independence in 1971, the examination has been administered by multiple regional education boards.
[4][5] Compulsory Subjects: Students are required to study a set of core subjects, including Bangla (1st and 2nd paper), English (1st and 2nd paper), General Mathematics, Information and Communication Technology, Religion and Moral Education (Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, or Christianity based on the student's faith).
Students who pass the SSC exam are eligible to pursue higher secondary education (HSC), which is the prerequisite for university admission.
SSC results also serve as a foundation for career opportunities in various fields, such as engineering, medical, and business.
