RU fisheries students don't want zoologists as BCS fisheries cadre

Hundreds of students of the fisheries department of Rajshahi University yesterday observed a sit-in programme protesting Bangladesh Public Service Commission's (PSC) decision allowing zoology students to apply for the post of Deputy Assistant Director (fisheries) at the 37th BCS examination.

They also brought out a protest rally from their department before the sit-in at Shabash Bangladesh Chattar.

They claimed that only fisheries graduates are eligible for the post as they study on the subject for around six years whereas zoology students only do a six-month masters course.

They urged to the concerned authorities to withdraw the decision immediately.
