IU admission test now from Feb 23
Islamic University (IU) admission test, which was scheduled to begin on November 17 last year, will now start on February 23.
The decision was taken in a meeting held at the administrative building on Wednesday with Vice-Chancellor (VC) Prof Abdul Hakim Sarkar in the chair. Deans of the faculties and chairmen of all 22 departments were present.
According to a notice issued by Registrar Dr Moslem Uddin yesterday, the admission test will be held on February 23, 24, 25, and 26.
The IU authorities postponed the admission test on November 12 as teachers of the university were on the agitation demanding removal of the then vice chancellor, pro-vice chancellor and the treasurer for their alleged involvement in irregularities in the recruitment of 132 teachers and officials at the university.
Islamic University Teachers' Association started agitation on September 8 last year following recruitment of the teachers and officials the day before. The deadlock ended after the government removed Prof M Ala Uddin and Prof M Kamal Uddin from the posts of VC and pro-VC on December 27 and January 1.
Prof M Ala Uddin was replaced by Prof Abdul Hakim Sarkar of Dhaka University. No new pro-VC was appointed as of yesterday.
Classes at the university resumed yesterday and the departments concerned announced fresh dates for holding examinations that were also suspended due to the deadlock.
