When Will the Primary Teacher Result Be Published?
Based on previous DPE recruitments, the result usually comes out 2-3 weeks after the exam. Since the exam was on January 9, 2026, you can expect the Primary result by January 21, 2026.
A department official said that BUET will process the DPE Primary Teacher Written Exam Result. They expect to prepare the results in about a week and hope to release them within 15 to 20 days.
The DPE will announce the exact date on their official website before publication. Check dpe.gov.bd regularly for official notifications, especially starting from the second week after the exam.
How to get Primary Teacher Result
When the result is published, it will appear on two official platforms. Use the correct websites, as fake sites sometimes appear during result season and may try to collect personal information or spread misinformation.
Official Result Websites
Both sources are authentic. During the first few hours after result publication, servers may slow down due to high traffic. If one site is slow, try the other.
The DPE may also publish district-wise or upazila-wise merit lists as PDF files. These lists show all qualified candidates from a specific area and help you understand your position relative to local competition.
How to Check Primary Result Online
If the DPE Result is published and the server works properly, your result will display within seconds. If the result shows “Pass” or “Qualified,” you have cleared the written stage and should prepare for the viva exam. If it shows “Fail” or “Not Qualified,” you will not proceed to the next stage.
Server Traffic Tip: During the first few hours after publication, both sites may load slowly due to millions of candidates accessing simultaneously. If one site is not responding, wait a few minutes and try again or switch to the other.
How to Download the Primary Result PDF
Individual result checking shows your own status, but downloading the full PDF gives you broader context—who else from your upazila qualified, top scores, and your merit list position. The DPE usually publishes results in multiple PDF formats to make them manageable:
What it means:
- If you Pass or are Qualified, your roll number will appear in the DPE PDF for your upazila.
- If you Fail or are Not Qualified, you won’t find your roll number in the PDF.
- Always double-check that you selected the correct district and upazila before concluding.
Can You Check Results by SMS?
The Primary Assistant Teacher recruitment does not provide an SMS result-checking option for candidates. However, the DPE authority uses SMS for official communication. If you pass the written exam and qualify for the viva stage, you’ll receive an SMS notification on your registered mobile number. This message will inform you about your qualification and may include instructions for downloading your viva admit card.
District-wise and Upazila-wise Results
This recruitment uses an upazila-based selection system. You compete only with candidates who applied for the same upazila. Each upazila has a specific number of vacancies, and the top scorers from that upazila fill those positions.
Example: If Narsingdi Sadar upazila has 20 vacancies and 1,500 candidates appeared, the top 20 scorers from those 1,500 get appointments, regardless of their national ranking.
Passing Marks and Score Expectations
Based on previous years and the competitive nature of this exam, candidates generally need 40-45 marks out of 90 to have a chance at qualifying for viva. This is about 45-50% of the total marks.
Some sources suggest the cut-off could be as high as 50 marks in highly competitive upazilas. The exact cut-off will be known once the DPE announces the results and publishes the merit lists.
There is no fixed passing mark set by the DPE beforehand. They select the top scorers up to roughly multiple times the number of vacancies. If your upazila had strong candidates, the cut-off rises. If the exam was difficult or candidates performed poorly, the cut-off might be lower.
Complete Selection Process Explained
Passing the written exam is the first step. Understanding the entire selection process helps you prepare for what comes next.
Stage 1: Written Examination (Completed)
Status: ✓ Completed on January 9, 2026
This stage tested your knowledge across four subjects through 90 MCQ questions worth 90 marks. You had 90 minutes to complete it. The exam used OMR answer sheets, which are now being evaluated.
The written exam serves as the primary screening mechanism. The top 2.8-3.1 times the number of vacancies per upazila will advance to the viva stage. For 14,385 total vacancies, about 40,000-45,000 candidates nationwide will receive viva calls.
Stage 2: Viva/Oral Examination
Candidates who pass or qualify will proceed to the Viva/oral Examination. DPE will announce the viva voce and admit card download period.
Every selected candidate must attend the viva. The viva tests your teaching skills, personality, and general knowledge. During the viva, you need to bring the following documents (original and photocopy):
- Admit card
- Copy of your application
- All academic certificates
- National ID card (NID)
- Citizenship certificate
Preparation tip: Even if you scored well in the written exam, prepare well for the viva. A poor viva performance can lower your merit ranking and cost you the appointment. Start preparing by reading newspapers, reviewing basic subject concepts, and practicing confident communication.
Final Result and Appointment
After all stages, the DPE will compile a final merit list based on your combined performance. The final DPE result will use 80% of your written exam marks and 20% of your viva marks. Candidates will be appointed upazila-wise based on this final score. The top candidates, up to the number of vacancies in each upazila, receive appointment letters.
