Preliminary screening

Tushar Kanti Das, Chittagong
Students who have just passed the HSC Exams are now passing through very critical days of their life as far as their getting admitted to any institution of higher education is concerned. They will now sit for admission tests. The government universities and medical colleges allow a very large number of students to sit for admission tests. On the other hand, varsities like BUET, CUET, KUET, RUET screen off quite a large number of students by short-listing. Since they take high standard admission tests, if a student can do well in those tests, that would prove his/her eligibility for studying in a particular institution. The students who could not do well in the HSC exams for various reasons, can do well in the admission test. So I earnestly appeal to the authorities concerned to give a second thought to their existing screening tests.
