Question paper of DU entry test leaked again!

It’s really surprising and frustrating to learn that the question papers of Dhaka University’s entrance test were leaked beforehand despite there being stringent measures in place.
In recent years, securing a seat in the prestigious university has almost turned into a dream for many admission-seekers, making the test something akin to a battle amongst students. A question paper leak, therefore, deprives many meritorious students of their deserving place.
Going by the report run by different media outlets, many students obtained leaked question papers through WhatsApp and other instant messaging apps nearly 40 minutes prior to the exam.
While the authorities were successful in curbing question paper leaks for some time, which plagued the education sector for a long time, the repeat of such an incident raises concerns. To our great relief, the police have arrested a number of people allegedly involved in the incident. We hope the authorities will examine what went wrong and take appropriate measures so that such incidents never occur in the future.
