Recruitment Test
BSMMU probe body submits report
A probe body of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) has recommended not involving five of its staff in any examination related activities for their role in cancelling the recruitment test on July 16.
The staffs are: Assistant Prof Atikul Haque of Medical Statistics department, Assistant Prof Bijoy Kumar of Medical Education, Assistant Prof Abu Zafar Chowdhury of Orthopaedics, Ariful Islam Joardar, consultant of cardiology and Monwar Hossain, medical officer of cardiology department.
BSMMU authorities on July 16 cancelled the written test for 60 vacant posts of medical officer following allegations of question leak and invigilators helping candidates inside the exam hall.
The two-member probe committee led by pro-VC (education) Ruhul Amin submitted its report to the Vice Chancellor Prof Pran Gopal Dutta yesterday around 1:00 pm.
The probe body recommended sending cautionary notices to these invigilators along with Deputy Registrar Zillur Rahman and Deputy Controller Abdul Hakim.
It also recommended conducting the recruitment test centrally.
"The probe body could not prove the involvement of the invigilators but they are not satisfied with the answers given by these five men who were on duty at the Library Hall in block A," said Prof Pran Gopal.
While talking to the reporters the VC said that the probe body interrogated Prof Julfiker Rahman Khan, in charge of the Library Hall, along with eight others.
Asked about the fresh date of the recruitment test, Prof Pran Gopal said that the VC alone couldn't take decision in this regard.
"The report will be placed to the Academic Council Meeting on August 3 and a fresh date of exam will be announced then," he added.
On July 16, a total of 628 candidates took the one-and-a-half-hour exam held from 10:00am.
Soon after the exam was over, many candidates came out of the hall complaining that the question paper was leaked.
They also alleged that a section of the invigilators helped a group of candidates inside the exam hall.
