The wait is finally over. The results of the primary school scholarship exam will be officially published tomorrow, Sunday, July 12, 2026, and this time the date comes directly from the Ministry of Education.
The Ministry of Education confirmed the news in a press release issued on Saturday, July 11, by its press officer, Abdullah Shibli Sadik.
Result Announcement at Noon Press Conference
According to the press release, a press conference will be held on Sunday at noon in the conference hall of the International Mother Tongue Institute in Dhaka. Dr. A. N. M. Ehsanul Haque Milon, Minister of Primary and Mass Education, along with the Minister of State for Primary Education, Bobby Hajjaj, will attend the event and formally announce the results.
The press conference will also address various important developments in the education and primary education sector, as well as provide detailed information on the scholarship results. The results will be available to students immediately after the press conference concludes; therefore, they will be able to check them starting at noon.
How to Check the Primary Scholarship Result
Once the results are officially released, students and parents can check them in two simple ways:
Method 1: Via SMS (Any Mobile Phone)
- Open your phone’s message option
- Type: DPE (space) Roll Number
- Send it to 16222
Example: DPE 123456
A reply SMS will deliver the result shortly after sending.
Method 2: Online (With PDF Download)
- Visit ipemis.dpe.gov.bd/scholarship-results or dpe.gov.bd
- Enter your Roll Number
- Select the Exam Year
- Select your Upazila
- Submit to view the result
The full result sheet can also be downloaded from the website as a PDF file — worth saving for admission and record purposes.
A small tip: right after the announcement, lakhs of people will hit the website at the same time, so it may load slowly for the first couple of hours. If that happens, the SMS method is usually the faster route.
82,500 Students Getting Scholarships This Year
Based on these results, a total of 82,500 students will receive scholarships. Eighty percent of them will be students from public elementary schools, and the remaining 20 percent will come from private schools and kindergartens.
The scholarship recipients will be divided into two categories: Gifted Grade and General Grade, and each will receive a monthly stipend. Based on participation figures, approximately one in eight public elementary school students who took the exam will receive a scholarship.
The Bumpy Road to This Result
Regular readers of our site know that this results process has had a complicated journey. Initially scheduled for Thursday, July 9, it was postponed at the last minute due to technical issues with the results processing. That same morning, results from nine districts in the Dhaka Division were accidentally uploaded to the live server before their official release, quickly spreading on social media. This incident prompted the Department of Primary Education (DPE) to form a three-member investigation committee.
Therefore, we remind you once again: any results file circulating on Facebook at this time is neither official nor verified. Please wait for the official announcement on Sunday and check your results only through the official SMS channels and website mentioned above.
We will update this post with a direct link to the results and pass statistics as soon as they are released on Sunday. Good luck to all the outstanding students and their proud parents!
