The exams will be held in four clusters from next academic session, UGC Chairman Kazi Shahidullah announced after a meeting with the vice-chancellors of 34 public universities on Wednesday. Earlier in February, the UGC had announced the decision to hold the uniform tests from the 2020-21 session after a meeting with the VCs. Besides the Dhaka University and Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology or BUET, Jahangirnagar University, Chittagong University and Rajshahi University refused the proposal, saying they would follow current rules for admission. They doubted the success of the uniform entry tests system citing possibilities of question paper leaks and misjudgement of candidates for admission to particular departments. “We want to start from September,” Afroza said and added they want the National University to hold the tests later.
