MS result publication postponed for alleged ’manipulation'

DU Correspondent
The process of publishing result of MS (master's of science) students under thesis group of geography and environment department of Dhaka University (DU) has been postponed on suspicion of a "possible result manipulation".
The suspicion created when an examinee asked the exam controller over a phone about the possible date of publishing the result, claiming that he has achieved the first class first position.
Exam Controller M Bahalul Haque Chowdhury told The Daily Star, "Moshiur Rahman, an examinee who achieved a 2nd class 27th position in his honours degree, confirmed him that he has got a 1st class 1st position in the exam, while wc were preparing the result."
"How does a student know the result that he has become first before publishing it?” he questioned and went on saying that they have postponed the process of publishing it on suspicion of a "possible result manipulation" and the matter is now under investigation.
At separate meetings, Bahalul later sat with Moshiur and four other students who got first classes in honours degree to know about examinations and other related matters regarding the result.
When contacted, Moshiur refuted the allegation of making a phone call to the exam controller and claiming of achieving first class first position. He, however, acknowledged that he sat with the controller onTUesday as per his request and discussed various issue regarding the exam.
A student, who got a first class in honours degree, alleged that there might have been gross 'irregularities' in preparing the result or marking answer sheets.
“It is quite surprising that Moshiur has become first. He even did not attend over 20 percent classes," he told The Daily Star on condition of anonymity.
Quoting the officials of the exam controller office, he further said that Moshiur got the highest mark in the 150-mark thesis course
Bahalul said Moshiur sat for
the examination getting nearly 90 percent class attendance.
When contacted, Chairperson of the department Prof Shahnaz Haq Hussain said preparation of result and marking exam sheets are controlled by the department's internal examination committee.
“There is no chance of knowing any result before it is published if members of the exam committee do not leak it,” she said, adding that the total process is done very secretly based on teachers' processional ethics.
“It is a big crime if someone ruins the secrecy." Dr Shahnaz said and added that she would place the matter in department's academic committee.
Talking to this correspondent, Chairman of the department's exam committee Prof AQM Mahbub said the result was prepared very secretly and transparently. There was no chance of manipulation.
'IVo students achieved 1st class 1st positions. It is not like that a student who did not get first class in honours cannot be first in his or her master's," he added.
