The Bangladesh Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee has issued a strict directive urging everyone not to spread or share any misleading or unverified information regarding the ongoing Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) and equivalent examinations. The warning came through an emergency notice released on Wednesday, following the circulation of a fake announcement on social media claiming that the Chattogram Education Board’s exams would begin at 1 p.m. on July 8 as per the original schedule. The committee clarified that the notice was entirely false, fabricated, and intentionally misleading, and that neither the Chattogram Board nor the coordination committee had any involvement with it.

The official statement advised students, parents, teachers, heads of institutions, examination center officials, and the general public to verify any exam-related information before believing or sharing it online. It emphasized that all legitimate updates, notices, and instructions are published only on the official websites and verified Facebook pages of the Ministry of Education, the Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee, and the respective education boards.

Authorities have urged everyone to remain alert and refrain from spreading rumors in the public interest.
