The admission of students whose names appear on the first merit list of colleges across the country will end today.
In total, 11.56 lakh students have applied for admission to college this year and more than 10.93 lakh have figured in the first merit list.
The Education Board has directed college authorities to confirm every online admission by July 4. Otherwise, they will be held responsible for any complexities that may arise in this regard.
Students opting for migration to their desired colleges have to take admission in colleges for which they have been selected in the first list. Such students will get an opportunity to apply for online migration by July 4 by using their ID and password. They may continue their migration on July 7 and on July 8 by paying late fee.
The second merit list will be published on July 7 on the basis of vacant seats.
Those who did not take admission in any college or have not been selected in any college will be considered as ‘release slip
holders’.
Such students will again get the opportunity to apply in five educational institutions on the basis of vacant seats between July 9 and July 10. However, they will not be charged any application fee. The results of the release slip holders will be published on July 11, and they will get the opportunity to take admission with late fee on July 12.
Besides, new admission seekers who did not apply online or through SMS will get the opportunity to apply between July 13 and July 21 on condition of vacant seats in educational institutions. Their results will be published on July 23, and admission will continue between July 25 and July 26.
Meanwhile, as per the directives of the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Dhaka, all colleges were scheduled to start classes from yesterday (July 1). But most of the colleges could not start THEIR classes.
Although government colleges have started orientation classes, private colleges said their classes will begin after Eid-ul-Fitr.
Some colleges started classes with students who have been admitted during the admission process. “These classes were symbolical, as instructed by the board authorities,” said some college teachers.
