The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations for 2023 will begin tomorrow (April 30). 

According to the Ministry of Education, a total of 20,72,163 candidates are likely to sit for this year's SSC and equivalent exams.

This year the exams will also be held in all subjects with full 100 marks but on curtailed syllabuses. 

The decision to shorten the syllabuses was made considering the fact that the candidates of these public exams have fewer in-person classes compared to the pre-Covid period.

Besides, the examinees must reach the examination centre 30 minutes earlier of beginning of the examinations. 

Center secretary will be informed about the question code just 25 minutes before beginning of the examinations.

On the other hand, all coaching centres in the country will remain closed from April 26 to May 23 for holding the examinations smoothly.
