All examination centres for the upcoming HSC and equivalent examinations will be brought under CCTV surveillance to ensure a fair, transparent, and cheating-free exam environment, according to the Dhaka Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education.

In a directive issued on Sunday, June 14, signed by Controller of Examinations Professor Jasmina Taslima Banu, the board instructed all centres to provide detailed information regarding their CCTV systems.

The board has asked institutions to submit information including CCTV camera IDs, passwords, brand names, and device serial numbers. It also instructed centres to ensure uninterrupted internet connectivity for DVR and NVR systems to facilitate continuous monitoring.

Authorities further directed that all required information must be sent via email by June 21.
