BNP for cancellation of MBBS, BDS admission test results

BNP demanded on Sunday cancellation of the published results of MBBS and Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) admission tests as there are allegations of question-paper leak, reports UNB.
Speaking at a press briefing at the BNP's Nayapaltan central office, party spokesman Asaduzzaman Ripon also demanded retake of the medical and dental admission tests.
"The question papers of the combined admission tests for the country's medical and dental colleges got leaked. These were fake exams. The results announced on Sunday by the health department must be annulled. Our party demands fresh admission tests for the medical and dental colleges," he said.
The BNP leader also urged the government to take strong measures to prevent question paper leakage.
Amid the allegation of question-paper leak, the results of the admission tests of MBBS BDS were published on Sunday with a pass rate of 58.4 per cent. A total of 48,484 students passed the exams held on September 18.
Ripon also extended his party's moral support to the movement of the admission seekers demanding a retake of the medical and dental tests over the alleged leak of questions. "We think their movement is justified one. BNP has moral support to it."
The BNP leader said the questions were surely leaked as many students alleged that the leaked questions went viral through Facebook at night before the exams and in the morning of the exams day.
