Govt relaxes time for students to enter SSC exam centres

The education ministry has relaxed the rule for SSC test-takers to enter the examination centres at least half an hour before the start of the tests, reports bdnews24.com.

The students who will fail to secure entry before the stipulated time will be allowed to sit for the exams after showing valid reasons behind the delay.

The students will have to write down their names, roll numbers and the reasons in a registrar in case of delay, the government said in a circular on Monday.

The exam centre secretaries will hand the lists of late students over to the related boards daily.

In a desperate move to stop question paper leak before JSC, JDC and equivalent tests in 2017, the then education minister Nurul Islam Nahid had announced the rule making it mandatory for the students to enter the centres half an hour before the exams.
