Malpractice in university admissions

Public universities are considered to be the best providers of quality higher education in Bangladesh. Among them, Dhaka University is revered as the finest.   

However, media reports and internet videos have revealed unethical admission practices in public university admissions, particularly in Dhaka University. Those caught red-handed are punished for a while, but they resort to the same actions the following year. The university authorities need to take legal actions to eradicate these problems from the root. Handing out temporary punishments will never do any good.
