Two teachers in Narsingdi have been temporarily withdrawn after an old 2025 question paper was mistakenly distributed during the first day of the 2026 HSC examination. The incident occurred on Thursday in room 201 of Narsingdi Pilot High School center, where students realized about 15 minutes into the exam that they had received the wrong paper. The correct 2026 question paper was later distributed, but no extra time was given, prompting concern among students about their results.

The center secretary, Professor Nasima Akter of Narsingdi Government Women’s College, confirmed the incident and described it as regrettable. Assistant Professor Alok Kumar Pal and Associate Professor Subrata Kumar Saha, responsible for receiving and distributing the papers, were withdrawn for negligence. An investigation team led by the Additional Deputy Commissioner (Education and ICT) Md. Raseduzzaman has been assigned to probe the matter.

Officials from the district administration and education department stated that CCTV footage and other evidence are being reviewed. Further action will be taken after the investigation report is submitted.
