Universities can now take their admissions process along with other assessments online as well, the University Grants Commission said in an order on Thursday. The online facilities will be used to wrap up all the academic activities for the ongoing semester, according to the regulatory body. Universities can continue with the online learning services into the next semester until the coronavirus situation returns to normal. Although the state-run Sangsad Bangladesh Television has been broadcasting pre-recorded lessons for secondary and primary school students, no such distancing learning facilities were available to students of private universities. Later on Apr 30, a decision was taken at a virtual meeting presided over by Education Minister Dipu Moni to allow private universities to conduct their academic activities online.
