Bangladesh Open University (BOU) publishes every result on result.bou.ac.bd. You only need your Student ID to see it. Results come out program by program, not on one single day.

The SSC 2026 admission test result is also out, with a 97.67% pass rate. You can also get your result by SMS by typing BOU <space> Student ID and sending it to 2777. If you think a mark is wrong, you can apply for rescrutiny at exam.bou.ac.bd within the deadline written in the official notice. Below you will find each step in simple detail — online checking, marksheet, SMS, rescrutiny application, rescrutiny result, and answers to the questions students ask most.
BOU Result 2026

How to Check BOU Result?
Checking your result online takes less than a minute. Follow these steps:

- Click the Search or Submit button.
- Your result will show on the screen.
- Take a screenshot or print the page for your own record.
A few useful tips:
- Right after a result is published, the site gets very busy. If the page does not load, wait 20–30 minutes and try again.
- Late night or early morning is usually the fastest time to check.
- The full official notice and gazette are on https://www.bou.ac.bd/NoticeBoard/Result. Download the PDF for your program.
- Old GPA results are on the old portal: www.bou.org.bd/result.
- For semester-wise results and complaints, use https://exam.bou.ac.bd.
BOU Result by SMS
If you do not have internet at that moment, SMS is the easiest way. It works for SSC, HSC, BA/BSS, BBA and B.Ed students.
Steps:
- Open the Message option on your phone.
- Type: BOU <space> Student ID
- Example: BOU 08010012237
- Send it to 2777.
- You will get a reply SMS with your result.
Important points:

- This SMS service works on most operators, but some students report that Banglalink is not supported. If it fails, try another SIM or use the website.
BOU Result with Marksheet
Many students want more than a pass or fail line. They want subject-wise marks, grade and GPA/CGPA. Here is how to get it.
Method 1 — Online marksheet on result.bou.ac.bd
- Go to https://result.bou.ac.bd.
- Enter your Student ID and search.
- Your result page will show your subject codes, subject names, obtained grade and grade point.
- Your CGPA or final GPA will show at the bottom.
- Use Ctrl+P (or your phone’s print option) to save it as a PDF.
Method 2 — Official gazette PDF
- Go to https://www.bou.ac.bd/NoticeBoard/Result.
- Find your program and term in the list.
- Some programs publish three files: Result Published notice, Result Sheet, and Gazette.
- Download the Result Sheet or Gazette PDF.
- Press Ctrl+F and search your Student ID.
Method 3 — Study Centre or Regional Centre
Your Study Centre and Regional Centre also receive the result sheet. BOU has 12 Regional Centres, including Dhaka, Chattogram, Rajshahi, Khulna, Sylhet, Barishal, Rangpur, Mymensingh, Cumilla, Bogura, Jashore and Faridpur. You can visit yours with your ID card if you cannot open the website.
Method 4 — Original marksheet and certificate
The printed marksheet and certificate are separate documents. Apply for them through your Regional Centre after your final result is published.
Rescrutiny Application
Rescrutiny (পুনঃনিরীক্ষণ) means BOU checks your answer script again. Examiners recount the marks, check for unmarked answers, and confirm the total was added correctly. Please note: this is re-checking, not re-marking. Your script will not be judged by a new examiner.
Date and deadline
BOU does not use one fixed national date. The deadline comes in the result publication notice for your own program. It is usually a short window after the result is published. So download your program’s notice PDF on the day the result comes out and note the last date. For example, the BA/BSS Exam 2024 rescrutiny result was published on 22 May 2026 — which means the application window had closed well before that.
Procedure step by step
- Read the result notice PDF for your program at https://www.bou.ac.bd/NoticeBoard/Result. Note the last date and the fee per subject.
- Go to https://exam.bou.ac.bd.
- Log in with your Student ID.
- Open the “পুনঃনিরীক্ষণ ও পুনঃপরীক্ষা” (Rescrutiny & Re-exam) link.
- Select the subject or subjects you want re-checked.
- Pay the application fee through Nagad mobile cash, following the rules shown on the link.
- Submit the application and save the transaction ID.
- Check My Application on the same site to confirm your submission.
Things to remember
- Late payment is not accepted. After the date passes, the option closes.
- The fee is charged for each subject. Choose carefully.
- If you failed and want to sit again, that is a re-exam, not rescrutiny. It has its own fee and deadline.
- Keep a screenshot of every step.
BOU Rescrutiny Result
The rescrutiny result usually comes a few weeks after the deadline. BOU publishes it as a separate notice.
How to check:
- Go to https://www.bou.ac.bd/NoticeBoard/Result.
- Look for a notice titled like “Rescrutinize Result of [Your Program] Exam”.
- Download the PDF and search your Student ID with Ctrl+F.
- You can also log in at https://exam.bou.ac.bd and open the My Challenge section to see your own rescrutiny outcome.
- If your marks change, the updated result will also appear on result.bou.ac.bd.
Three outcomes are possible. Your marks may go up, your grade may change, or nothing may change at all. If nothing changes, the fee is not refunded. That is normal and it happens to most applicants.
