SSC exam: Postponed Bangla 2nd paper MCQ under Jashore board on Sept 30

The Jashore education board on Tuesday announced new date for the postponed multiple-choice question (MCQ) test of Bangla second paper under the SSC examinations.

The 20-minute exam will start at 11am, according to a notice signed by Jashore Education Board Chairman Prof Dr Md Ahsan Habib published on Tuesday.

"In consultation with board officials, it was decided to take the MCQ examination of Bangla second paper from 11 am to 11:20 am on September 30," said Prof Dr Md Ahsan Habib.

On Friday, the Jashore Education Board postponed the Bangla Paper II exam's MCQ component that was scheduled to be held Saturday, as the question paper got leaked due to the wrong question papers being sent to three centres during the Bangla I exam on Thursday.

According to sources, the issue came notice after exam officials distributed the question paper of Bangla second paper MCQ exam instead of Bangla first paper among the examinees at Narail’s Kalia Pari Shangkar Pilot Secondary Girls School center, Baishona Kamshia Secondary School, Dighalia Nabaganga Degree College and Itna School and College centers on Thursday - the day of the paper I exam.

Exam officials claimed that it wasn’t their mistake, rather it’s the officials of the BG Press in Dhaka who wrongly labeled the packets containing the questions.
