Dipu Moni said that the digital lottery was introduced to eliminate the existing problems in the admission process.

Meanwhile, the education minister also said that earlier the students were under a lot of stress regarding the admission test. Now students are free from that. According to the new curriculum, students will learn stress-free. Government’s goal is to make every school the best, she noted.
