The Dhaka Education Board has once again extended the deadline for the submission of forms for this year’s Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination. The extension grants students an additional four days to complete the process, allowing them to submit their forms with a late fee until Thursday, 5 February 2026.
The announcement was made in an official notification signed by Professor S.M. Kamal Uddin Haidar, Controller of Examinations at the Dhaka Education Board, on Monday, 2 February 2026. According to the notice, students registered for the 2026 SSC examinations will now have the opportunity to submit their forms and pay the required fees through the “Sonali Seba” online payment system by the newly extended deadline.
The board’s notification further instructs all heads of institutions under its jurisdiction to ensure that their students complete the form submission process within this revised timeframe. The move is expected to assist students who were unable to meet the previous deadline due to various reasons, including administrative delays, logistical issues, or personal circumstances.
To provide a clear overview, the key details of the extended schedule are summarised below:

The board emphasised that this extension is a one-time facility to accommodate students who may have faced difficulties in completing the procedure. Students are advised to take advantage of this additional time to submit their forms and fees promptly, as the board has indicated that no further extensions are likely.
This decision reflects the board’s continued effort to facilitate students and ensure a smooth administrative process ahead of the SSC examinations. By providing extra days for submission, the board aims to reduce stress and avoid last-minute complications, ensuring that all registered candidates can complete the necessary formalities without undue pressure.
Education experts have welcomed the move, describing it as a student-friendly measure that balances administrative efficiency with practical support for examinees. With only a few days remaining, students are urged to act immediately to avoid delays and ensure their participation in the upcoming SSC examinations.
