'BUET not to join uniform admission test system'

The authorities of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) have decided not to join the integrated admission test of public universities, reports UNB.

The integrated entry test is expected to begin from the 2020-21 academic session.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the academic council, said BUET student welfare director professor Mizanur Rahman on Wednesday.

“Most members of the BUET academic council opposed joining the system of unified admission test and that's why we aren’t joining it. We aren’t opposing the University Grant Commission (UGC) initiative, but we’ll take our entry test as we did in previous years,” Prof Mizan added.

On 10 February, Dhaka University Central Student Union (DUCSU) suggested the Dhaka University not to join the unified admission test system.
On 23 January, the University Grants Commission (UGC) decided to introduce a uniform entry test in all public universities across the country from the academic year 2020-21.
