DU 'Ga' unit fresh test Dec 20
A fresh admission test of Dhaka University 'Ga' unit for 2011-2012 academic sessions will be held on December 20.
The DU authorities took the decision yesterday hours after the Supreme Court directed them to hold the test by December 21.
The decision came from an emergency syndicate meeting called in the afternoon, presided over by DU Vice Chancellor Prof AAMS Arefin Siddique.
Only the candidates who took the admission test on October 28 can reappear for the fresh test without paying any additional fees, the VC said.
If the admit card has been damaged or lost, the candidates can download it from the internet. The seating arrangement would be made available through the DU website and the media, he added.
The one-hour-long test will begin at 3:00pm.
In yesterday's verdict, the SC also stayed the High Court's December 1 verdict which directed the DU authorities to re-evaluate the answer sheets.
It issued an order barring Prof Jamal Uddin, the dean of Faculty of Business Studies, from being involved in the admission test process.
However, the apex court upheld the HC order that directed the DU authorities to investigate into the anomalies in the question paper of the earlier tests and ordered to identify the people responsible for the anomalies.
An eight-member full bench of the Appellate Division headed by Chief Justice Md Mozammel Hossain passed the order acting upon the DU authorities' petition on December 4 challenging the HC verdict.
Attorney General Mahbubey Alam appeared for DU while Advocate Manzil Murshid moved for the petitioners.
