Cuet students boycott classes

Students of Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (Cuet) yesterday boycotted their classes demanding immediate appointment of a vice-chancellor (VC) for the university.
Students said the post of VC was lying vacant for more than a month after the tenure of former Cuet VC Prof Dr Shyamal Kanti Biswas expired on January 28.
Stalemate is prevailing in the academic and administrative activities of the university in the absence of VC, they alleged.
Contacted, Cuet Registrar Engr Md Shafiqul Islam admitted that most of the students boycotted classes yesterday.
He, however, said the academic activities are not being hampered in the absence of VC.
He expressed hope that the new VC will be appointed soon.
