Authorities to Re-evaluate Results of 18th Teacher Registration Exam Due to Technical Errors

The authorities have decided to re-evaluate the results of candidates who failed the 18th Teacher Registration Examination, particularly due to allegations of technical errors in the one-day viva (oral) examination, which have been preliminarily substantiated. The results may be republished after addressing these errors.

A source from the Secondary and Higher Education (Maushi) Division of the Ministry of Education revealed that a technical glitch has been initially identified in the viva examination conducted by one board on a specific day during the 18th registration process. The Non-Government Teacher Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA) is working to resolve the issue and confirm the extent of the technical error.

An official from Maushi, speaking on condition of anonymity, stated, “Not all complaints from candidates who failed the 18th registration are valid. However, we have learned that there was some error in the viva conducted on one day. If the error is confirmed, it will be rectified, and no candidate will be unfairly deprived. The results of those candidates will be re-evaluated.”

However, the official clarified that there is no scope for changing the overall results. According to him, not all candidates who failed are qualified, and many lacked basic knowledge. Passing everyone or issuing certificates to all is not feasible. The focus is solely on verifying whether there were any inconsistencies in the results, and if found, they will be addressed.

Md. Milan, an aspirant of the 18th registration, claimed that there were significant discrepancies in the results. For instance, in one board, 51 out of 60 candidates failed, while in another, only three failed. He further noted that some candidates who scored 40 in the written exam passed, while others who reportedly scored 70 failed.

Due to these inconsistencies, candidates have rejected the results and demanded a re-evaluation.

On June 4, the final results of the 18th Teacher Registration Examination were published, declaring 60,521 candidates successful. However, over 20,000 candidates failed the viva examination, leading to widespread discontent expressed on social media.
