DU class routines
Dhaka University is kept open for six days a week. The departments fix the class routine for each batch. Every batch has classes either in the morning or in the afternoon or at both times throughout the week. This is creating problem for many students, as they can't learn any other thing beside their regular study.
We all know that it is beneficial for career if one has knowledge on any foreign language or any specialized computer course. But students sometimes have to either skip their classes to continue these courses or they just cannot manage time to take these courses since there is no specific class routine.
If the authorities pay attention to this fact and ask the departments to follow a specific class routine for each batch, e.g. only the morning session for 1st year and 2nd year, and only the afternoon session for 3rd year, 4th year and master's batch, then the students will be benefited. Usually, the classes of those mentioned courses are held on Fridays and Saturdays. But DU is open on Saturdays. If DU is kept closed on Saturdays as it is the weekly government holiday, then the students will be benefited. If the private universities can complete their syllabus by scheduling classes five days a week, then DU can make it too.
