Why the SSC Board Challenge Matters?
The SSC Board Challenge Process 2025 is more important than ever. This year, the pass rate for SSC and equivalent exams in Bangladesh dropped to 68.45% (source: The Daily Star), compared to 83.03% in 2024.
Over 600,660 students failed in BD, leading to increased concerns about fairness and accuracy in marking. The board challenge process provides students with an opportunity to request a re-scrutiny of their exam scripts if they suspect errors in marking, totaling, or the transfer of marks.

What is SSC Board Challenge / Re-scrutiny?
The SSC Board Challenge (also known as result re-scrutiny, rechecking, or খাতা চেক) enables students to request a review of their exam papers. Important: This is not a full re-evaluation of answers. The board only checks for:
- Mistakes in marking
- Errors in totaling marks
- Transfer mistakes (e.g., marks not properly recorded)
Myth: Your answers will be regraded.
Reality: Only calculation or transfer errors are corrected. If marks are found missing or miscalculated, they are added. Marks will not be reduced.
