GPA 5 scorers' predicament

A total of 70,602 students of 8,104 institutions took this year's HSC and equivalent exams. Students have been consistently doing well. When GPA system was introduced in 2003, only 20 students had scored GPA 5. Now compare it with 2014's figure, which is undoubtedly a magical improvement. The big success in HSC exams however has become a concern for all as seats in public universities are limited. For instance, BUET, DU, and public and private medical colleges have 965, 5787, and 8,000 seats respectively. The total number of seats at public universities is around 50,000. We must ensure better education for all the students.
