A test conducted through speech
Contexto cultural
The BCS (Bangladesh Civil Service) Viva is the most famous 'মৌখিক পরীক্ষা'. It is known for being extremely rigorous, covering everything from international politics to personal ethics. In schools following the Madhyamik/HS boards, the 'Project Viva' is a mandatory 'মৌখিক পরীক্ষা' where students present their year-long work to an external examiner. While 'Interview' is common, HR departments in traditional Bengali firms still use 'মৌখিক পরীক্ষা' in their official Bengali-language circulars. Oral exams are the primary way to test the memorization of the Quran (Hifz), where the term is used with great sanctity.
Eye Contact
In a 'মৌখিক পরীক্ষা', maintaining eye contact with the board members is seen as a sign of honesty and confidence.
Don't say 'Mukh'!
Never say 'Mukh Porikkha'. It sounds like you are testing the physical mouth (like a dentist). Always use 'Moukkhik'.
