With the recent JSC examinations swirling in chaos and criticism for question leaks and mistakes, many students of grade V and their parents searching the social media for free leaked question papers.
Question papers of almost all subjects in the JSC exams, which ended last week, were leaked on Facebook pages and groups.
Now these pages and groups are uploading leaked question papers of PEC examinations.
A photo of the English version of Sylhet board question paper of Bangladesh and Introduction to World has gone viral on the social media for having more than 50 mistakes, marring the PEC tests further.
The mistakes have left many parents and teachers angry. Netizens have also reacted sharply.
Mistakes were also found in an English version question paper of a JSC test. The students said they did not raise the issue during the test because the authorities had not taken any measure when they had pointed similar mistakes earlier.
On Wednesday, the PEC test of Primary Science paper was held across the country from 11am to 1:30pm.
Many had commented seeking leaked questions of this paper on Tuesday afternoon.
The leaked questions were uploaded later in the night and in the next morning.
bdnews24.com found the leaked question paper of Dhaka board same as the original one used in the test.
One of these leaked question papers was uploaded by the ID ‘Md Rasel’ on the public group ‘PSC JSC SSC HSC Question Suggestion. All Board Examine 2018+2019+20+21 BD’ at 9:55am.
The group has more than 54,000 members. The number had started to increase after the leak of the JSC question papers.
Now the number is shooting up again as PEC question papers are beginning to be leaked.
From another ID, ‘Tole Khan’, a leaked version of the Dhaka board question paper was uploaded on the group – ‘PSC JSC SSC HSC Exam Helping Center’ – at 10:01am. The question paper was exactly the same used in the exam that started after another hour.
The leaked questions were circulated in these groups for free. Netizens, however, continued to upload posts, calling for an end to question paper leaks.
They have also expressed anger over the mistakes in the English version of Tuesday’s Sylhet board Bangladesh and Introduction to World question paper.
