This issue situated people in a questionable state for their future as the next generation was in charge of being the stakeholders of the nation. But no solutions were discovered till then as the problem itself was really unique.

Execution

Bondstein first came up with the idea of Smart Box for the Medical admission exam. They brought it under a tracking system which gave real time notification about the boxes. All the question papers were kept in the smart box when it came from the press and handed it out directly to the exam venue. There was a dedicated group for examining all the procedures till it reached the exam center. No third party involvement was measured while spreading out the smart boxes because, whenever the boxes were opened or closed, an automated notification would pop up on the authority’s mobile phone. The question papers were stored in the box from Dhaka till it reached all the exam centers throughout the country and till it got back to Dhaka again.
