More Students Pass DU Admission Test in 2nd Time

Second time students pass more

56 percent among total students passed in the admission tests of Dhaka University (DU) for the current academic session (2014-15) took part for the second time.

Surprisingly the university authorities announced the students will no longer be allowed to sit in the admission tests for second time.

Student can sit for the test that year when they pass their Higher Secondary Certificate examinations, according to the new announcement. The announcement would take effect from the academic session 2015-16.

Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University Professor AAMS Arefin Siddique made the announcement following a meeting of the university's admission committee.

But, the data acquired from the university admission office shows more numbers of the students who took the test for second time got the pass marks than that of the students who sat for the first time.

According to the university admission office, only 30 percent students who sat for the admission test of the university's Faculty of Biological Sciences for the first time this year got the pass marks. Remaining 70 percent took the test for second time.

Account BenefitProfessor Hasibur Rahman Rashid, convener of the university's online admission committee said, some 53.4 percent students who sat for the second time got admission in the academic session 2013-2014 while 48.6 percent in the academic session 2012-2013.

Meanwhile, students who passed the HSC in 2014 claimed that the university authorities somewhat did injustice to them. If the authorities made the announcement prior to the admission test this year they would have got themselves more prepared for the tests, alleged the students.

On the new announcement, the VC said that students who sit for the second time get plenty of time for preparation rather than the students who take the test for the first time.

Approximately 400 seats fell vacant in the university every year as students change their disciplines by sitting for the admission test second time, added the VC.
