Health Minister Zahid Maleque on Wednesday said the test for admission to medical colleges will be held on April 2 next in compliance with health guidelines.

He said: "Examinees will sit at a distance of 3 feet. Everyone has to wear a mask, and there’ll be sanitizers." 

The minister was talking to reporters after a meeting on medical college admission test at his ministry's conference room.

Around 1.22 lakh examinees will sit for this year's examination which will be held at 55 centres, he said, adding the number of centres will be increased, if needed.

"Coaching centres will remain closed before, during and after the examination, and no photocopy machine will be allowed in the vicinity of any exam centre," he said.

Zahid Maleque said question papers will not be leaked this time as the government will remain vigilant against any type of rumour during and after the exam.
