BUET's no to uniform entry test

Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) has decided not to hold its admission test in uniform system.

The decision was taken at the university's academic council meeting, confirmed BUET director of social welfare Mizanur Rahman.

He said BUET has earlier welcomed the uniform entrance test for public universities but now its decision is not to join the initiative. 

Although 28 public universities agreed to hold combined admission test from 2020-21 academic sessions but Dhaka University, Jahangirnagar University and Chattogram University are still undecided about adopting the new system. 

Recently University Grant Commission (UGC) sat with Dhaka University, Jahangirnagar and BUET Vice-Chancellors where the VCs welcomed the uniform admission process but did not gave their final decision. Today BUET informed their stance.
