I am horrified to hear that the questions of the recently held BCS examination have been leaked out. The genuine examinees have studied hard to get selected in these exams-- memorising questions from the very primary level of school education to the latest world news.

I've seen my colleagues

whose only hope is to qualify in this exam. Imagine due to this leak out how many unworthy examinees would be qualified and how many genuine students would be left out! The authorities concerned should cancel this exam and investigate this matter so as to prevent further mishaps.

It was known from the national dailies that the question paper of 24th BCS Preliminary Test held on February 28 was leaked out! It was alleged that some members of a Students Organisation were supplied with the questions!

If the news is true it is simply a deathblow to the prestige and sanctity of the BPSC. However, the Chairman of the BpSc has denied the allegation leakage of question paper. She argued that the question papers were kept in sealed containers and containers were not opened before they reached the examination halls and not before the examination time.

This is indeed a serious allegation and needs to be investigated thoroughly. The reputation of the country depends on it.

I am stunned to read the news about question leakage in the recently held BCS exam. The genuine students had to study for years to pass this exam but a handful capable of buying the question beforehand with 10,00 taka steals the show! What a shame!
