Images of the multiple choice questions and answers in the math ‘Kha’ questions were released on Facebook around 8:35am on Saturday.

bdnews24.com spotted the leaks in a Facebook Messenger group at 8:56am. The leaked questions matched those of the exam on Saturday.

“Do you know for sure that it was leaked an hour before the exam?” Dhaka Board Examination Controller Tapan Kumar Sarkar said when asked by bdnews24.com about the leaks.
“We also received information regarding a leak, but the questions did not match the paper. They’re fake.”

Two college students were detained by guardians and turned over to police outside exam centres in Jessore and Rajshahi as they were ‘showing the question papers’ on their mobile phones.

SSC question papers have been leaking from the first day of the exam. The leaks have been ongoing despite a standing reward from the education minister for information leading to the perpetrators.

The English questions leaked between half an hour and 45 minutes before the exam, while the Islam and Moral Education and Mathematics questions leaked 1-1.5 hours before the exams. 

Facebook groups and pages are competing to see who can leak the questions fastest. Various accounts have begun advertising on the basis of having the earliest leaks.

Reports to the ministry, police and the education board have not brought an end to the leaks.
