DU should reconsider timing of admission tests

The Dhaka University authorities should reconsider the timing of its admission tests. More than half the candidates do not live in Dhaka city. Those coming from outside usually reach Dhaka a day before their test so that they can attend it the next morning.

But if the exam begins at 2pm, there is a possibility that all the candidates will be able to attend it without much hassle. Those coming from the nearby districts can directly go to the exam venue without having to spend the previous night in the city, which will both reduce hassle and save money. So, I think the authorities should consider adjusting the exam timing so that those students can avoid unnecessary trouble.
