Bangladesh’s Education Minister Dr. A N M Ehsanul Haque Milan announced that legal measures will be taken against anyone committing offenses, including cybercrimes, during the upcoming SSC, Dakhil, and equivalent examinations starting Tuesday. The exams will involve 1,857,344 students from 30,666 institutions across nine general, madrasa, and technical boards, held in 3,885 centers. The ministry and education boards have completed all necessary preparations to ensure smooth and fair examinations.

At a press conference in Dhaka on Monday, ministry adviser Mahdi Amin presented written remarks, emphasizing a student-friendly environment and urging parents not to panic. He noted that this SSC batch missed earlier public exams due to the pandemic, making this their first full-syllabus public test. The ministry instructed institutions to ensure safe, comfortable exam halls with proper facilities and to prevent congestion near centers.

The minister also stated that examiners would be increased and should evaluate answer sheets in a liberal manner. He reiterated that any corruption within the ministry would not be tolerated.
