After learning of the decision to test students based on JSC and SSC results without taking HSC and equivalent exams, student-parents are now concerned about admission to college. There is great uncertainty about whether it will be possible to take the admission test in January. Although the University Scholarship Commission (UGC) has spoken of group admissions, several vice chancellors of public universities have yet to comment on central admissions. In the current situation in Corona, there is great uncertainty about whether it will be possible to take the admission test in January-February.
The UGC has a meeting with the rectors of public universities on October 15. It was learned that there will be a discussion about admission.
Meanwhile, private universities are happy that the 13 lakh 75 thousand 69 candidates for HSC and equivalent exams have passed this year. Since places in public universities are limited, they expect the number of students to double. Sheikh Kabir Hossain, President of the Bangladesh Private Universities Association, told Kaler Kanth: “We welcome the government’s decision to evaluate HSC on the basis of the JSC and SSC exams. Because taking the exam in Corona is very risky. Since all students are spending this time, I think it will increase the number of students in some private universities.
Since the assessment will be based on the JSC and SSC results, the anxiety of those who scored relatively low on one of the two tests is also increasing. Science subjects have priority in the medical admission test. Students who travel abroad to study also need good grades in the subject. But those who did not do well in SSC and prepared to complete it with HSC, will be in big trouble. Because your HSC result will be very similar to the SSC. As a result, many will not be able to be admitted to the desired higher education and university subjects. Similarly, if students wanting to go abroad will be questioned, he remains skeptical.
In this sense, the president of the Board of Education, the teacher. Ziaul Haque said: ‘How the students will be assessed is our business. Even if students are going to study abroad, they will take the number.
However, after the SSC, the Ministry of Education has decided to form an advisory committee to evaluate those who have been admitted to HSC by changing departments. These students will be evaluated based on their feedback. But it is known that this committee has not yet begun its work.
Minister of Education at a press conference last Wednesday. Dipu Moni said: ‘It would not be appropriate to say now how the admission will be done. We hope to be able to take admissions tests in all types of universities in an integrated or group system. The decision will be made in consultation with the university considering how the exams will be conducted, what the cluster system will be like, considering the situation at that time. Because there are still three months left.
It is known that after agricultural universities took the admissions test in the cluster system last year, the UGC took the initiative to take this year’s test by dividing all universities into four sections. But the rectors of public universities offer central admission tests. They offer science, humanitarian and business education in three parts. But the UGC finally announced a four-step admissions test for science and technology, agriculture, engineering, and universities in general. The outbreaks appear to be exacerbated during UGC and public universities. As a result, there is still indecision on the subject.
However, at the UGC meeting in March, Dhaka University, BUET, Jahangirnagar University, Chittagong University and Rajshahi University did not agree to attend in any way. They themselves are inflexible in taking the entrance exam. But if these five great universities do not come, there will be no appeal of organizing the admission test centrally. So the UGC decided to move away from that position and admit in a cluster system.
The Vice Chancellor of Jagannath University, Professor Mizanur Rahman, told Kaler Kantha: “There was a meeting with the Vice Chancellors of different universities on March 23rd. It has been postponed for crown. Corona is cold ahead in this crisis. No decision has yet been made on when the university will open; However, not all decisions can be made by meeting online on important topics like the entrance exam. However, since the government has decided on HSC, now we have to think about the admission test. If the situation is good in the case of university admission, the admission test must be taken. No alternative.
The Vice Chancellor of the University of Dhaka, Prof. Maryland. Akhtaruzzaman told Kaler Kantha: “The decision will be made after discussion with the admissions committee, the deans committee and the academic council to decide the admission test method for the university.” These discussions will start soon. When asked if Dhaka University would participate in the integrated admission test and if it would be possible for students to physically attend the admission test in Corona, the rector said: “Each issue will be decided after discussion in those councils and committees. “.
Professor member of UGC. Maryland. Alamgir told Kaler Kantha: ‘We will admit students to the university in a group system. According to the previous meeting, the big five universities will admit students in separate exams. However, considering the current situation and the general interest of the students, we hope that the big five will also pass the group exams. There is a meeting on public universities on October 15th. I hope the matter will be discussed there.
UGC President Prof. Kazi Shahidullah said: ‘Even if five universities do not come, the admission test will take place with the rest of the next academic year. Bunch and central sacrifice, the admission of students to the integrated exam is the requirement of the time. Students are admitted through an examination throughout India. We should be there too. In the United States, students are admitted through an exam called the SAT. So in Bangladesh too, admitting students in that way is not a problem, but now it is the demand of the people. Those who do not come this way will be questioned by the people.
