It’s seven days to SSC and already, competition has begun in social media to supply questions in exchange for Tk 200 to Tk 500. However, Dhaka Cyber Security and Crime Division has said that there’s no possibility for the questions to be leaked.
Meanwhile, there are at least nine groups in Facebook, Messenger and Whats App which are advertising questions before the exam.
These include SSC question out -2019, SSC all board question out 2019, PSC, JSC, HSC all exam suggestions and question bank, etc.
The adverts claim to deliver board copies of questions with money to be sent after the exam.
Give the exam and then pay us Tk 300 per exam, the adverts read.
Secondary and higher secondary education board sources say that this time education board officials are more active than the past.
Dhaka board chairman, Professor Ziaul Huq, says, “We have taken some new measures to counter leaking of questions.”
Several sets of questions will be printed, he said though did not specify how many.
The district administrators will be informed of question sets 30 minutes prior to the exam.
The exams will be held on one selected set though it may be changed for certain areas if needed, he added.
Reportedly, 64 sets of questions have already been sent to BG Press. After finalising, the sealed questions were sent to the chairman of Dhaka board.
The education minister has said that questions will be sent in modern aluminium foil paper envelopes which cannot be tampered with. DMP’s cybersecurity team says that the papers cannot be leaked in any way.
Those which are advertising on social media are fake, say cybersecurity officials.
Meanwhile, ten teams of the Detective Branch, DB, are carrying out drives to nab false advertisers.
Deputy-commissioner of DMP’s crime unit, Nazmul Islam, says, “We have arrested some of these advertisers and are carrying our constant monitoring.”
At the exam halls, magnet, optic and frequency detectors will be placed. The SSC and equivalent exams will begin from Feb 2 and as many as 2,573,451 students will take part in 4,964 centres.
