Citing a worsening flood situation driven by persistent heavy rainfall and flash floods that have disrupted normal life across the region, the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Chattogram on Friday postponed Saturday's Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations across all districts within its jurisdiction.

Specifically, the board announced in an official notice that the Information and Communication Technology (Subject Code: 275) examination originally scheduled for July 11 is deferred across Chattogram, Cox's Bazar, Khagrachhari, Rangamati and Bandarban districts.

A revised schedule for the postponed test will be announced at a later date, according to the board.

Furthermore, because widespread power outages have severely impacted communication channels in numerous areas, the board instructed the in-charges of all examination centers to utilize public announcement systems, or miking, to ensure examinees and their guardians are promptly informed of the cancellation.
