Test Question Paper of Eden College used at NU Final Exam

NU final exam with recycled question

The National University (NU) administered the final examination of a paper of sociology two days ago on the same question paper on which a Dhaka college had taken selection test for the master's final year.

The examination on the subject 'Theory of modern sociology' was held across the country on August 24, 2015. But the examinees and their guardians were dismayed to find the question paper was the exact copy of the one on which the Eden Mohila College conducted its selection test in March 2015.

College Principal Professor Hosne Ara, too, was equally taken by surprise. She said those teachers who could not set question paper of their own had no right to be in the question paper moderation committee. "I strongly denounce those teachers who recycle the question paper of a college's test examination and then take money for being the member of the question paper moderation committee", Professor Ara said.

Account BenefitVice Chancellor of the National University Professor Harun-or-Rashid said that none from the Eden College was in the five-member examination panel. He said they would see how the two question papers matched.

In both the question papers of 100 marks each, examinees were asked to answer five questions out of 10. Descriptive-type questions from number one to nine were similar in both the question papers. Though there were slight variations in the construction of sentences in some questions, the two sets of question papers were essentially the same. Even the serialization of the questions was also identical.

National University VC Harun-or-Rashid said, "It was clear that it had happened because of the lack of awareness of the examination committee. We will form a committee to look into the matter". The next course of action would be determined based on committee's report, the VC said.
