A fresh date to start the process to fill in forms will be announced later considering the overall situation, said a notice of the education board.

Earlier, the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Dhaka directed students to complete their registration by July 11 for HSC examination, 2021.

The form fill-in process will remain open from June 29 to July 11, according to a notice issued by the board on Friday.
