Students of 11th batch at Institute of Education and Research of Dhaka University yesterday put all the four entrances of the institute under lock and key demanding their honours results be converted into the University Grant Commission (UGC) approved grading system. "We had appealed to our director at least seven times in written to publish our results in UGC approved grading system. But, it was published in traditional grading system on April 20," said Ziaul Kabir Sumon, an agitating student. He said they will be deprived of better opportunities in job markets as students of the batches next to them have been securing better grade points getting similar marks as the UGC approved grading system is being followed from the 12th batch. Agitating students removed the locks after getting assurance from Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof Harun-or-Rashid that their demand would be considered cordially, Sumon added.
