Jashore board postpones Career Education exam after erroneous questions

The Career Education examination has been postponed after the cancellation of the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) examination of Secondary School Certificate under Jashore board following mistakes in the question paper.

After candidates began taking the ICT examination at 10am on Tuesday, errors in the question paper were discovered leading to a cancellation of the exam.

Multiple-choice questions in the ICT examination contained a total of 25 marks. The ‘Gha’ set of questions had 12 questions on ICT while the remaining 13 were from Career Education, said Mohammad Abdul Alim, chairman of the Jashore Education Board.

“This happened because of the mistake made by BG Press.”

“The Career Education examination scheduled to be held on Wednesday has been postponed to Mar 2. The ICT examination will be held on Feb 28,” said board exam controller Madhab Chandra Rudro.
