Demonstration against hiking of admission form fee at JU

Quota reformists of Jahangirnagar University (JU) yesterday staged a demonstration on the campus protesting the price hike of admission forms fee for the first year honours programme under the academic session 2019-2020.

Under the banner of ‘Bangladesh Sadharan Chhatra Adhikar Sangrakkhan Parishad’ ( BSCASP), over 50 students of different departments and institutes staged  the demonstration from the social science faculty premises around 1pm. They rally ended in front of the old administrative building through a brief gathering after parading different streets on the campus. Addressing the rally, the protesters alleged that university authorities are robbing money from the admission seekers in the name of admission form price.  

Addressing the rally joint-convener of BCASP Joynal Abedin Shishir said,”A student of humanities group has to pay Tk 2,400 for applying this year. According to the directive of UGC, from the income admission form selling, 40 per cent of money will be submitted to the university fund. But the teachers are grabbing all the money apart from the cost of admission test.”
