Where can I check the result online?

What if the site will not open or is slow?

Traffic is heaviest in the first hour after publication. Try the other official site, or use SMS or your own institution. Do not enter your roll and registration on unfamiliar sites or shared IP addresses. The Ministry, the boards and newspaper offices do not hand out results directly.

What is the SMS format?

Type HSC, a space, the first three letters of your board’s name, a space, your roll number, a space and 2026, then send it to 16140. Example: HSC DHA 123456 2026. The result comes back in a reply SMS. Your operator may charge for the SMS.

What is the code for each board?

Marksheet and grades

What can I see online?

The individual result shows the candidate’s GPA and subject-wise grades. How detailed a marksheet you get depends on the portal’s system. The online copy is for information; collect the original certificate and marksheet from your institution or board.

How is the GPA worked out?

Grade points come from subject-wise marks, and the GPA is based on those. The table below shows the usual grading scale.

MarksLetter gradeGrade point
80–100A+5.00
70–79A4.00

Institution results and re-scrutiny

How does an institution download its results?

A school or college can download its results from the Results section by entering the board’s name and its own EIIN number. Candidates can also collect their results from their own institution.

When and how do I apply for re-scrutiny?

Applications to re-scrutinise answer scripts are taken online from 1 to 7 November 2026, with full instructions on the boards’ websites. Recent rules allow no manual applications. Last year (2025) the fee was Tk 150 per paper, both papers had to be chosen for two-paper subjects, and the fee could be paid by bKash, Nagad, Sonali Seba, Rocket or a Teletalk SIM. Check this year’s fee and portal in the board’s notice.

What does re-scrutiny check?

It usually checks counting and totalling errors, and answers are not marked afresh. Once you pay, the application cannot be cancelled or refunded, so be sure before you pick papers.
