Re-test for those who passed DU ‘Gha’ unit admission

Dhaka University will retake tests of those who passed ‘Gha’ unit admission examination following question leak scam that drew student protests.

The university’s Vice Chancellor Md Akhteruzzaman said, the decision was drawn this afternoon from a Dean Committee meeting.

While the admission process will automatically be put on hold, further details and test schedule will be announced from the authorities later.

Last week, Dhaka University announced the results for Gha unit – where over 18,500 students passed. It also admitted the incident of question leak.

Around 26 percent admission seekers have obtained pass marks in the test held last Friday, which is the highest pass rate in this unit in the last five years.

However, students on and off the campus were protesting since the test was held, demanding a retake. One student of Akhtar Hossen, a third-year student of DU's law department, was on a hunger strike demanding a retake of the tests.
