Electronic admission process

This year different universities have taken an excellent initiative about undergraduate admission. Dhaka University and many other engineering universities have introduced an electronic system for filling up admission forms and the payment of fees. Using the Internet and the state-owned Teletalk connection, an admission seeker can easily apply for admission to any of these universities sitting at home. No more travelling for hours to get to the university, no more standing in queues and no more hassle in submitting the form and other necessary papers! An efficient way to save papers, and, of course, time. This system has been developed by the teachers of Shahjalal University of Science & Technology, Sylhet, and this project has rightly earned itself the National e-content award. We also appreciate this innovation. But this achievement has also put the government face to face with some new challenges. Access to Internet has to be ensured. As the payment has to be made only by using a Teletalk connection, many will have to go to shops or mobile phone booths to pay the fees. The charge for providing this service should be minimal and it should be the same all over the country.
