Dipu Moni for distributing admit cards for public exams much earlier
DHAKA, Feb 3, 2020 (BSS) – Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni today said
necessary steps will be taken to distribute admit cards for public
examinations much earlier for stopping hassle of examinees.

can get their admit cards much earlier,” she told reporters after visiting

the cost of the examinees,” she said.
