The education minister, Nurul Islam Nahid, on Tuesday visited the Dhaka College and City College centres.
He said that the examinations were being held in a copy-free atmosphere. He said that government had taken all measures for the successful holding of the examinations.
However, many students in the Dhaka College and other centres in the city complained that they could not reach the exam halls on time because of severe traffic congestion.
Tariq-ul Islam, a student taking exams at the Dhaka College centre, said that he was 15 minutes for the exams. 'I started for the hall one hour before the schedule. Yet I could not reach the exams hall on time,' he said. Many students taking exams at the Dhaka College centre could not reach the halls on time.
