Question sets for the upcoming Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and its equivalent examinations will be selected by lottery 25 minutes before the exams in a bid to prevent question paper leakage.
Secondary and Higher Education Division Secretary of the Education Ministry Md Sohrab Hossain announced the decision at a meeting in the Secretariat on Sunday. “Education board will decide the question sets 25 minutes before HSC exams,” he said.
At the meeting Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid said that nobody would know how many sets of questions would be prepared for HSC and equivalent examinations.
The meeting also instructed the students to take their seats at their respective exam halls half an hour before the HSC examinations.
This year, the HSC and its equivalent examinations will begin on April 2 and continue till May 13.
The written part of this year’s SSC examination witnessed the largest ever spate of question leaks in the history of country’s public examinations. Question papers of almost all the subjects were leaked before the examinations.
