The controller of examinations said that in 2025 the results of 216 students changed after the process.
According to board sources, the pass rate under the Jessore Education Board in the 2026 HSC examinations, published on 31 October, was 44.92 per cent.
Of the 117,510 students who sat the examinations, 66,944 failed. The low pass rate is believed to be behind the higher number of re-scrutiny applications this year.
