After four top public universities, the authorities of Jahangirnagar University (JU) have decided not to adopt uniform admission test proposed by the governing commission last December.

Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) has decided it won’t go for the much-talked uniform admission tests to enrol students. Rather it would enrol students through its own admission test like previous years.

An Education Ministry meeting on public universities’ uniform admission test is postponed.

The government has failed to introduce a uniform admission test, which has been overdue for eight years.

Uniform admission test for students' enrolment in public universities, overdue for seven years, is likely to be introduced partially next year.
