Students face allegations of unauthorised fees for HSC supplementary exam forms

Students appearing for Higher Secondary Certificate supplementary examinations have reported being asked to pay extra fees beyond official charges during form submission procedures, raising questions about the transparency of the registration process.

The alleged additional costs have affected multiple candidates across examination centres, with reports indicating that students are being required to pay undisclosed amounts when submitting their supplementary exam forms. Education officials have yet to issue an official statement regarding the nature and authorization of these charges.

Education stakeholders have expressed concern that such practices, if confirmed, could create financial barriers for economically disadvantaged students seeking to retake examinations. The allegations come amid ongoing scrutiny of administrative procedures within Bangladesh's examination system.

Authorities overseeing the HSC supplementary examination administration have been approached for clarification on whether the reported fees are part of the official registration requirements or constitute unauthorised collection. The matter is likely to draw attention from education ministry officials and student welfare organisations.
