The public universities have decided in principle to admit students through test online instead of their physical presence due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the public universities' vice chancellors held on Saturday.
Professor Dr Rafiqul Alam, Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET), confirmed this to Jago News.
Dr Rafiqul said, "We've decided to take test for admission online. This examination would be taken using a software developed by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Digital University Vice-Chancellor prof Dr Monaz Ahmed Noor."
However, the aspirants can take part in the test through an app online or offline.
