No one except candidates will be allowed within 200 yards of examination halls during the SSC and its equivalent examinations, starting on Sunday, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) said in a press release on Thursday.
“SSC, SSC (Vocational), Dakhil and Dakhil (Vocational) examinations of 2023 will start on April 30 at different centres in Dhaka. In order to ensure a fair and peaceful environment, no one except the students will be allowed within 200 yards of the examination centres. The order will remain in force on April 30 and on the days the examinations are held,” the press release, signed by DMP Commissioner Khandker Golam Faruq, reads.
According to the Ministry of Education, a total of 2,072,163 students will take the SSC and its equivalent exams this year.
Although the SSC examinations are held in the first week of February every year, it was not possible to hold the exams on time like last year due to Covid-19.
