At least 17 students of a madrasa in the port city could not appear in the Alim examinations yesterday since they did not have the admit card. The students of Ashkane Awlia Fazil (degree) Madrasa claimed that the madrasa authorities earlier issued them coupons bearing their registration numbers and roll numbers, saying that the admit cards would be distributed later on. “Our principal assured that the madrasa board would provide the admit cards on time but it did not”, they alleged. They blamed the madrasa authorities for their negligence in arranging the admit cards and registration cards, despite the students having submitted necessary forms for the cards on time. However, Khairul Baar Hakkani, the madrasa principal, said the students had dual registration in different institutions, so they were not allowed for sitting in the examination. Contacted, Additional Deputy Commissioner (education) Khaled Mahmud Chowdhury said to have asked the students to submit applications in this regard. The madrasa authorities would be punished if found responsible, he added.
