DU online admission process successful: VC
The newly introduced online process to enrol students in the admission tests for first year honours courses at Dhaka University is running successfully, said Vice-Chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique yesterday.
Briefing reporters at his office, the VC said over 115,000 forms have already been downloaded from the admission website till now while 71,041 applications have been submitted till Wednesday night.
As many as 120,000 application forms were sold by the manual process, he added.
He said students from different parts of the country are daily downloading, submitting and collecting admit cards successfully.
DU authorities started the online registration process for the admission tests on September 27 and it will end on October 14.
The VC said officials who monitor the process received around 200 complaints from the applicants, out of which 100 have already been answered.
He said applicants who are putting wrong information and making spelling mistakes are facing a few troubles.
Sometimes students put down information that do not match with those that the university officials received from the education boards, he added.
He said top officials of every education board have already been requested to send appropriate information of successful students in the HSC or equivalent examinations to datamin@office.univdhaka.edu.
During the briefing, the VC presented some documents to clarify the transparency of the process and accountability of the university administration to the Madrasa board.
He expressed concern on some newspaper reports claiming that Madrasa students are being deprived in the online process.
“The fourth subjects or optional courses were not clearly mentioned in the mark-sheet of Madrasa students and so students faced some miss-match in GPA during submission of applications. But we collected the subject code from the Madrasa Board and resolved the problem,” Prof Arefin added.
He suggested applicants to use Short Message Service (SMS), typing “du” and sending to 16321 to get information on whether their admit cards are ready to be downloaded.
The VC said all out cooperation would be provided to the students facing trouble in completing the application process online.
