The recruitment exam for institution head posts may be held on April 17 and 18, according to the Non-Government Teachers’ Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA).
The tentative dates were fixed at a board meeting on Monday afternoon at the NTRCA office. The exam will be an MCQ-type written test.
NTRCA Chairman, Md. Aminul Islam told the media that the dates were set at the meeting. “If there are no problems with preparing the question papers, obtaining exam centers, and other related matters, the exams will be held on April 17 and 18,” he said.
He said the exam will cover 17 different posts. Many candidates have applied for several of the posts. “It will not be possible to hold all exams on the same day. That is why the exam will be organized over two days,” he added. He also said the results will be published shortly after the exam.
