The Dhaka University (DU) administration defended itself against the claims of admission test question paper leaks barely hours before the entrance exams for the faculties of arts, law, and social science, stating that the rumor was merely a "rumor" that circulated on social media, particularly Facebook, on Thursday morning.

On Friday, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., the entrance exams for the three faculties operating as one unit will be held in all eight divisional headquarters across the nation, including Dhaka.

On Thursday morning, there were rumors on social media that the entrance exam question paper was available for purchase, and individuals interested in admission were invited to contact through Telegrams in order to obtain those.

The applicants were required to pay Tk 20,000 in advance; the remaining Tk 30,000 must be paid after the test.
"The rumor that spread on social media about question paper leakage makes no sense at all to us," stated Prof. Zia Rahman, dean of the Social Science Faculty and principal coordinator of the entrance test, in response to an inquiry regarding the rumor.

"Those rumors are complete fabrications. There is no way for a question to be missed on this entrance test, and nobody can even foresee how it will go. We have complete faith in our abilities and our endeavors. He declared, "I believe we can hold the entrance exam transparently and calmly.

Prof. Makshudur Rahman, DU Proctor, informed the media that the information being disseminated on social media was erroneous and unfounded.

He clarified their position on the matter by stating that some people are dishonest and wish to make money by tricking others.

However, he said that as soon as they learned of the situation, they notified the police authorities about the rumor. "To identify them, they (law enforcement) are working on it."
