The BSEK exams have been mired in controversy amid widespread allegations of bribery, document leaks and serious administrative errors.
In May, an investigative report confirmed major exam irregularities, including the relocation of more than 170 exam centers.
Sources said that during the exam period, issues such as systemic mismanagement and shifting of exam centers during exams had come to light.
Students who had applied for multiple jobs at a center were later informed by official letters that their centers had been relocated.
Security lapses were also reported, with at least two incidents in which students allegedly brought daggers into exam centres, while basic arrangements at the centers were described as inadequate, with broken fans, load shedding and poor facilities.
In some cases, students were reported to have been assigned centers far from their schools, while allegations also emerged that “home centers” had been created within schools in violation of rules.
