No more admission test, please!

The news report published in The Daily Star titled “7 Newly Affiliated Colleges: DU to hold separate tests for admission” has drawn my attention. When people from all walks, including our honourable President, advised to introduce a combined admission test given the suffering of students and guardians along with a huge financial expenditure, this news shocked us a lot. Now, coaching centres can charge extra fees for their preparations.

I urge the concerned authorities to cancel the decision to hold separate admission tests for the said colleges, and instead initiate the process to hold a combined admission test that may also cover all public universities of the country.
