PSC's innovative approach to plug question leakage

We have carefully read the article by Syed Fattahul Alim published in the Daily Star in October 3, 2011. The article dealt with leakage of question papers in public examinations of Bangladesh. There is, however, some factual inadequacy in this write up. Bangladesh Public Service Commission has conducted more than 300 written examinations in last four years. No complaint was heard about leakage of questions in any of these examinations. Bangladesh Public Service Commission has come up with some innovative methods in order to guard the secrecy and integrity of question papers. The commission makes sets of question papers for a particular examination. The commission selects one set of question paper through lottery just 25 minutes before examination and informs hall authorities by using all modern means of communication. In this method there is no scope for leakage of questions. The commission has succeeded in effectively arresting the pernicious trend of leakage of question papers.
For this the officers of the Commission had to work very hard under the guidance of the Commission. Officers and employees do their best to conduct the examination. At every step of examination the Commission ensures proper security. The mechanisms innovated by the Commission can be used as a model. If any institution or person feels interested to gather knowledge about the model of the commission, Bangladesh Public Service Commission will be prepared to help him in this regard.
