Four engineering universities are undecided on the admission of cluster system

Four engineering universities are undecided on the admission of cluster system The four engineering and technology universities of the country have not yet made a final decision to take the admission test in cluster system in the coming 2020-2021 academic year. Although they agreed in principle on this issue, there was disagreement among them about the composition of the admission test committee and the center.

 A virtual University Grants Commission (UGC) meeting with the Vice Chancellors of Bangladesh University of Engineering (BUET), Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET), Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) and Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET) on Wednesday. An exchange meeting was held but no decision was finalized.

 Student admission is being discussed with a single test for four universities in cluster-based exams. Earlier this month, 19 public universities across the country decided to take admission test on cluster basis to reduce the suffering and financial expenses of students and their parents. Earlier last year, seven agricultural universities in the country started admitting students through a single test on a common question on a cluster basis.

The students are returning to the city from the campus after the admission test of the first year of graduation (honors) in the university. Students have to run for admission test from one university to another. So the universities are going towards exams in a bunch system
