Admission seekers' demo shuts Nilkhet

Admission seekers of seven colleges affiliated with Dhaka University yesterday demonstrated in the capital's Nilkhet intersection alleging irregularities in the admission process of 2017-2018 session.

They blocked the intersection for three hours, halting vehicular movement on the road from Nilkhet to Azimpur. This resulted in sufferings for commuters. The demonstrators claimed that many who appeared in the admission test of 2017-18 session are yet to get desired college or subject though they were in the merit list. On the other hand, many students who did not even appear in the exam got theirs.

Students withdrew the demonstration around 3:00pm after Abu Mohammad Delowar Hossainan, DU social science and arts faculty coordinator, assured them of resolving the issues by February 9.
