The Non-Government Teachers’ Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA) will hold a special recruitment examination on Saturday for leadership posts in private educational institutions across Bangladesh.
The examination is for the appointment of principals, head teachers, assistant principals and assistant head teachers. According to an official notice issued on Thursday, the tests will be conducted in four separate groups through a multiple-choice question (MCQ) format.
NTRCA said the examinations will take place at nine centres in Dhaka. A special control room has also been opened at the authority’s office to monitor the process and help ensure smooth management on the day.
Candidates have been asked to reach their assigned centres on time and follow the instructions mentioned on their admit cards.
The exam comes after legal uncertainty earlier this week. According to the information provided, a High Court stay order was issued around 40 hours before the scheduled test following a writ petition.
That development created concern among many applicants who planned to sit for the examination. Some candidates expressed frustration over the uncertainty and called for a quick solution so the recruitment process could continue.
Later, education sector officials and lawyers were reported to have taken legal steps to challenge the stay order. They said an appeal was filed with the chamber court and efforts were underway to ensure the examination could proceed as planned.
According to the latest update provided, the legal barrier was removed, and the examination will now be held on schedule on Saturday.
The recruitment process is seen as important because many private schools and colleges need permanent leadership appointments. Delays in filling these posts can affect administration, academic planning and day-to-day management of institutions.
NTRCA recruitment exams are also viewed by many candidates as a structured and competitive way to fill vacancies through merit-based selection.
Authorities are expected to maintain security, monitor attendance and oversee centre operations throughout the day.
Results and the next stages of recruitment are expected to be announced by NTRCA after the examination process is completed.
