The digital lottery for admission of the students from class one to nine in government secondary schools will be held on Jan 11 at 3 pm.

Education Minister Dr. Dipu Moni will inaugurate the lottery, said a press release.

On December 30, 2020, the lottery for admission test was supposed to be held for the students from class one to 9th for the 2021 academic year for government secondary schools across the country.

But the lottery was postponed as the writ petition 1030/2020 filed in the High Court Division remained pending.

A section of students could not apply as 11 years age limit was compulsory for admission in class six.

In this context, the High Court relaxed the age and gave them one week time to apply online.

The admission seekers who were dropped can now apply for admission till January 9, 2021.
