The Public Service Commission (PSC) on Sunday asked for help to spot
people who leaked question papers of the 33rd Bangladesh Civil Service
(BCS) examination.
PSC sought the assistance, in the form of information, data and evidence, a day after the written tests of the compulsory subjects of the 33rd BCS examination, scheduled between Oct 7 and Oct 18, were postponed citing unavoidable reasons, a media statement said.
The examinations were cancelled following allegations that the written test question paper for the 33rd BCS had been leaked and were available at the Dhaka University campus at a price of Tk 500,000.
Allegations also had it that the question papers were available on sale at a number of other educational institutions.
PSC considered the allegations as rumours, but did not take any risk and cancelled the examinations finally a day before it began.
The media statement said its decision was taken at the last moment for relieving aspirants of any confusion during the tests.
Newspaper reports on the rumours of the leak and information from the government intelligence were verified before taking the decision, the statement added.
The PSC said it, however, encouraged all to supply information, data or any evidence for stopping the business of forging question papers.
The PSC on June 28 published the preliminary test results of the 33rd BCS Examination, with a total of 28,917 candidates qualifying for the written tests.
Around 193,000 jobseekers attended the first round at 142 centres on June 1.
