Observer Online Report

The Bangladesh Public Service Commission (PSC) has introduced face-lock technology in its question paper vault and started printing examination papers at its own digital press to prevent question leaks, financial corruption and digital fraud in BCS and other government recruitment examinations.

The measures were disclosed in the Jatiya Sangsad on Tuesday (November 10) in response to a written question from Munshiganj-1 MP Md Abdullah.

According to Md Abdul Bari, a representative of the PSC Secretariat, only authorised officials can access the question paper vault through face recognition, while four police personnel remain on duty round the clock. Officials involved in printing cannot use mobile phones or electronic devices and must remain inside the press until the examination ends.

The commission has also introduced confidential rooms for question preparation, CCTV surveillance, team-based evaluation of written answer scripts and automated result processing using OMR machines. Viva board assignments for candidates and experts are now determined only 30 minutes before examinations to prevent advance information leaks, he said.
