IBA admission and transparency

One of the toughest competition is held in this Institute. The competition rate is 1 : 40 in MBA programme and 1: 70 for the BBA programme. It's like a challenge to face an admission test in a well reputed institution like this. In this case, a person like me with an excellent GMAT score (good enough to compete for any Top Business School of the world) definitely feel positive for an admission attempt. For two consecutive years , I attended the written test , passed this part , but failed to qualify successfully in the Viva. As a person working in the HR Department of a leading organisation, and conducting Interviews and participating in Recruitment and Selection Process, I must say, I am confident enough to face any interviews successfully.

It is no wonder that Bangladesh tops the list of corrupt countries for several consecutive years. The government's refusal to acknowledge the corruption report came to us as nothing but a routine move. Besides, they always suspect the accuracy of the Transparency Report. But recent trends and these surprising things now let us defy the authenticity of its assertion.

When corruption tends to corrupt the Corruption Bureau , we just think about the poorly paid civil servants and bureaucrats , who have no other choice , when they themselves have to get their job after donating (!) a large sum of money.

When I approached the IBA admission committee, they refused to talk to me over telephone.

In this regard, I hope The Daily Star will initiate a fact finding mission, and also desire that the Dhaka University authorities will maintain traditional values and transparency in the admission process.
