Ease university entrance process

We have heard that Rajshahi University has made a large sum of money from undergraduate candidates, as have other public universities. Around 4,00,000 students applied for only 2,000 seats in Jahangirnagar University, for example, and many applied for more than one unit to increase their chances. Rajshahi University took more than Tk 800 per application.

Such profit-making schemes by authorities should be brought to an end. For the sake of students, we urge concerned authorities to develop an admission system that considers students' SSC and HSC results or introduce a unified admission test for all universities.
