Question 10Cyber Security

Which year declared Cybersecurity act in Bangladesh?

  • a)2016
  • b)2018 (correct answer)
  • c)2012
  • d)2008
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (b) 2018

This question was set in February 2023. At that time Bangladesh's cyber-security law was the Digital Security Act, 2018 (ডিজিটাল নিরাপত্তা আইন, ২০১৮; Act 46 of 2018, dated 8 October 2018). It was enacted to ensure digital security and to detect, prevent, suppress and try offences committed through digital media. The law actually titled "Cyber Security Act" (সাইবার নিরাপত্তা আইন, ২০২৩; Act 39 of 2023) was passed only on 18 September 2023, seven months after this paper, and it repealed the 2018 Act. So, for this paper, the expected year is 2018.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (a) 2016: no cyber-security law was enacted in Bangladesh in 2016.
  • (c) 2012: no cyber-security law was enacted in 2012.
  • (d) 2008: no cyber law dates from 2008; the earlier law is the ICT Act, 2006 (তথ্য ও যোগাযোগ প্রযুক্তি আইন, ২০০৬; Act 39 of 2006, dated 8 October 2006).

Exam note: The stem says "Cybersecurity act", but no law of that name existed when this paper was set, so it means the Digital Security Act 2018. The full sequence, as of October 2026: Digital Security Act 2018 → repealed by the Cyber Security Act 2023 (Act 39 of 2023) → repealed by the Cyber Security Ordinance 2025 (Ordinance 25 of 2025) → repealed and re-enacted as the Cyber Security Act 2026 (সাইবার সুরক্ষা আইন, ২০২৬; Act 81 of 2026, 10 April 2026), amended by the Cyber Security (Amendment) Act 2026 (Act 99 of 2026, 1 July 2026). The ICT Act 2006 is still in force, with its sections 54–57 and 66 deleted. In a paper set after September 2023, "the year of the Cyber Security Act" would be 2023; "the cyber law in force now" is the 2026 Act.

Tip: 2006 ICT Act → 2018 Digital Security Act → 2023 Cyber Security Act → 2025 Ordinance → 2026 Cyber Security Act (in force).

Question 11General ICT

What is Smart Bangladesh?

  • a)Smart Citizens>Smart Government>Smart Economy>Smart Society (correct answer)
  • b)Smart Citizens>Smart Government>Smart Industry>Smart Society
  • c)Smart Citizens>Smart People>Smart Economy>Smart Society
  • d)Smart Citizens>Smart Government>Smart Economy>Smart Learn
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (a) Smart Citizens > Smart Government > Smart Economy > Smart Society

"Smart Bangladesh" is the national vision, announced in December 2022 as the successor to Digital Bangladesh, to make Bangladesh a technology-driven, knowledge-based developed country by 2041. It rests on four pillars: Smart Citizen, Smart Government, Smart Economy and Smart Society. Government ICT agencies used the same framework; for example, the Bangladesh Computer Council's National Data Center describes its cloud services as building Smart Government, "one of the four pillars of Smart Bangladesh".

Why the other options are wrong

  • (b) … Smart Industry …: replaces Smart Economy with "Smart Industry", which is not a pillar.
  • (c) … Smart People …: replaces Smart Government with "Smart People"; citizens are already the first pillar.
  • (d) … Smart Learn: replaces Smart Society with "Smart Learn", which is not a pillar.

Tip: Remember C-G-E-S: Citizen, Government, Economy, Society.

Exam note: The paper's key (a) was right when set and still correctly describes the vision's four pillars. As of October 2026, the interim government cancelled the annual Smart Bangladesh Day observance on 16 October 2024, so the slogan is no longer officially celebrated, but the definition asked here has not changed. If the question reappears unchanged, choose (a).
