An SSC examination at Abul Kashem Nur Jahan Chowdhury High School in Ukhiya, Cox’s Bazar, was conducted with the wrong question paper, leading to the expulsion of four individuals including the center secretary, Lutfor Rahman Manik. The incident occurred on Thursday during the Bangla Second Paper exam. Thirteen irregular candidates were mistakenly given the 2025 question paper instead of the 2026 version, and despite their protests, the exam continued for three hours.

After the exam, students reported the issue to the Upazila Nirbahi Officer (UNO) and the Secondary Education Officer. Following an investigation, the UNO permanently expelled the center secretary and three others. Nurul Alam was later appointed as the new center secretary, and Mohammad Harunur Rashid was assigned as the new superintendent.

According to Ukhiya Upazila Secondary Education Officer Mohammad Ullah, the exam could not be retaken since it had already been completed, but communication with the education board was underway to ensure proper consideration of the matter.
