The High Court has formed two committees to investigate the reported leaks of SSC questions, reports bdnews24.com.
The Dhaka district judge will lead the judicial probe and BUET teacher M Kaykobad will lead the administrative probe.
Each team will comprise five members.
The order came on Thursday following a writ petition filed by four Supreme Court lawyers: Ainun Nahar Siddiqa, Sikder Mahmudur Razi, Md Raju Mia and Nur Mohammad Azmi.
The judicial team's job is to find out the perpetrators and set penalties for them, said petitioners' lawyer Barrister Jyotirmoy Barua.
"The administrative committee needs to figure out what preventive measures can be taken and possible solutions."
The court has asked the committees to start field work within seven days of getting a copy of the order and wrap up the tasks within 30 days, said Barua.
Earlier in the day, the court issued a rule after an initial hearing on the petition by the four lawyers.
The petition sought the court's order instructing the government to open judicial and administrative probes into the matter.
The petitioners also sought directives to hold fresh exams and design a law to check the leaks.
The High Court issued a rule asking why the failure to plug question leaks of the school-leaving public exams will not be declared illegal.
The secretaries to the ministries of education, primary and mass education, law and its draft wing, home ministry, ICT, BTRC chief and its secretary, inspector general of police, chief of the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Directorate and the chairmen of all the eight education boards have been ordered to respond within two weeks.
During Thursday's hearing, the court described the 'epidemic question leak as an issue more serious than drug addiction', said Mahmudur Razi, one of the four petitioners.
"It said the students who are taking the SSC and HSC exams today, will lead Bangladesh in five to ten years. If they go through this, there's a risk that the whole nation will collapse," he said.
However, the Rapid Action Battalion or RAB detained 13 people over SSC question leaks in Natore on Thursday.
The RAB received a tip-off that students and teachers were downloading chemistry paper-1 questions on their handsets near Chandpur High School in Lalpur and raided the area Thursday morning, said Natore-based RAB-5 camp's Major Shibli Mostafa.
"There were 10 students, one teacher and two local people on the scene."
The questions found on the seized handsets matched the ones that appeared in the test, he added.
