Protests against the HSC exam results broke out in October 2024, as students questioned the transparency of the results. This led to the resignation of the board chairman, proving once again the power of the streets in pushing through changes, even in the most technical matters such as examination results. Apart from student marches and political protests, 2025 saw widespread discontent among government officials in general, and members of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) specifically. It is no different in the dispute over the 2025 Bangladesh Bar Council enrolment exam entrances. The Bar Council enrollment process has always included several things, such as the MCQ exam, the written exam, and the viva voce exam.
