The Department of Myanmar Examinations has issued a notice regarding financial fraud claiming matriculation exam results in advance.
Currently, the 2024 matriculation exam result list is still under process, and the date and schedule of the results list will be announced in advance through State-owned newspapers, television, and the Department of Myanmar Examinations’ website, including its Facebook page.
However, fraudsters are now spreading fake news about the result list, as well as modifying the previous year’s result list with photo editing applications/software, claiming that the result list must be known in advance, and there are fraudulent requests for fees, according to the Department of Myanmar Examinations.
People are urged to inform the department about information of unscrupulous persons through the page message box, the notice said.
The 2023 matriculation exam was held on 8 March, and a total of 161,850 candidates sat for the exam and 109,851 passed. Now, the 2024 exam was held from 11 to 19 March without spacing a day, and a total of 145,200 students registered to take the exam.— TWA/TKO
