DU should rethink its new admission policy

Dhaka University is the first choice of the majority of students willing to get higher education. Students try their level best to get admitted into this university. In the previous years, students used to get a second chance to sit for the admission test. But the DU authorities have decided to allow only freshly passed HSC students to appear in the admission test from the next academic session.

Dhaka University is an autonomous institution and can take any decision freely regarding its academic issues. But the decisions must be beneficial to all of its stakeholders. The authorities are claiming that they have taken the decision to create equal opportunity for the aspirants and to solve the problem of seats remaining vacant in many departments. They have taken a big decision all of a sudden which will create uncertainty in the lives of many students. They must rethink their decision and shouldn't do anything which will disappoint and dishearten many of the young minds.
