Despite the risk of coronavirus infection, the country’s top five public universities are reluctant to enroll in cluster systems. Meanwhile, four universities have announced that they will undergo direct exams. If it is not possible to come up with an integrated or clustered system in this situation, the Minister of Education has proposed clusters of at least four universities under the 1973 ordinance. And it has been proposed that Bangladesh University of Engineering (BUET) lead universities of science and technology.
It is known that if the large universities are not admitted, other universities will also be in a dilemma. Students and parents will have to race across the country in Corona. A deserving student must appear for the admission test in at least 10 places. This will increase the risk of corona infection among students. Regardless, efforts are being made to bring all colleges together in an admissions pile.
Sources said the Vice Chancellor of Dhaka University, Prof. Maryland. Akhtaruzzaman, Vice Chancellor of Jahangirnagar University, Prof. Farzana Islam, Vice Chancellor of Rajshahi University Prof. Abdus Sobhan and Vice Chancellor of Bangladesh University of Engineering. The Minister of Education, Dr. Satya Prasad Majumdar, had a meeting last Sunday. Dipu Moni. If it is not possible for them to come there for integrated admission, they have been asked to come in a group system. If that is not possible, then a special group of four universities has been proposed under the 1973 ordinance. The minister also told the rector that he would hold meetings with the academic councils and unions of the universities if necessary.
Meanwhile, at the meeting of the Council of the Vice-Chancellor on October 18, a proposal was made about the online exam. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Digital University VC Professor for Online Admission Exam. Suggested software from Munaj Ahmed Noor. The University Council asks the University Scholarship Commission (UGC) to verify if it is possible to take the online admission test in this software. The UGC has called a meeting of experts to verify the software on Tuesday.
Said the concerned people. The software proposed by Munaj Ahmed Noor is not new. This software is still being tested at various universities in China. But the number of students is very low, no more than 20-25 people. It is questionable how logical and safe it would be to bring thousands of students to the existing Internet system. However, some venture capitalists are involved in the software business. Multiple softwares have been purchased at the National University through the Digital University VC. In addition, he has purchased various software from his own university.
Professor Muhammad Alamgir, a UGC member, told Kaler Kanth: “A meeting has been called today to verify the software mentioned by the university council. Information technology experts will be here. However, my idea is not online, this time the admission test will be direct.
He added that the Ministry of Education and UGC are doing everything possible to alleviate the plight of students. Of the 39 colleges, 34 still agree to batch admissions.
Shahjalal University of Science and Technology Vice Chancellor Professor Farid Uddin Ahmed said: “We have not yet made a final decision on admission. But whatever I do, I’ll do it with the interests of the students in mind. If the initiative of the admission test is taken in batch system, we will stick with that initiative. If BUET is under the leadership of a group of science and technology universities, we have no objections.
