Question Leak Syndicates Resurface Ahead of Medical Admission Test

Staff Reporter

As the MBBS admission test for the 2024-25 academic year is set to take place on Friday, syndicates involved in leaking question papers have become active, offering advance access to questions in exchange for large sums of money.

Sources indicate that these syndicates are exploiting the country’s volatile situation following the August 5 turmoil and the deteriorated law and order to resume their activities.

Law enforcement agencies have stated that they are vigilant against these syndicates.

Reports suggest that several groups have been actively enticing candidates with promises of leaked questions in the weeks leading up to the exam.

A candidate, requesting anonymity, shared, *“I received a call from an unknown number where someone mentioned my name and claimed to have obtained my contact from a known person. They offered ‘authentic’ questions for 1.5 million BDT. I blocked the number immediately.”*

In a related development, Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) arrested Nazmul Ehsan Naim for involvement in fraudulent activities related to fake question leaks.

Confirming the arrest on Thursday, January 16, Deputy Commissioner Muhammad Talebur Rahman of DMP’s Media and Public Relations Division stated, *“Our intelligence operations against such syndicates are ongoing.”*

Authorities urge candidates and guardians to remain cautious and report any suspicious activities as they work to ensure a fair and transparent examination process.
