The 2026 Secondary School Certificate (SSC), Dakhil, and equivalent examinations in Bangladesh have been marred by repeated incidents of wrong question paper distribution since the exams began on April 21. Multiple centers under various education boards mistakenly handed out incorrect subjects or set codes, disrupting exams and causing distress among students and parents. The latest reported case occurred on May 10 in Dinajpur, where a physics test was conducted using the wrong set code.

Education board officials attributed the errors to negligence by teachers responsible for distributing papers, particularly confusion between regular and irregular candidates’ question sets. Several teachers and center secretaries have been relieved of duties or warned, while authorities assured that affected students would not suffer academically. The Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee and the Madrasa Education Board confirmed disciplinary measures and additional monitoring.

The exams also faced challenges from adverse weather, power outages, and rumors of question leaks, which the Education Ministry later dismissed as false. Despite these disruptions, officials stated that results would be evaluated fairly and that corrective steps were underway to prevent recurrence.
