Who are responsible?
As a student of Chemical Engineering at BUET, I would like to share my views regarding university ranking issue.
Interestingly, a graduate from my department is more likely to get a job if he does not have good grades. Industry people consider it to be a risky option to employ good students since they have better chances of going abroad. Sometimes they are not even called for interview, may be to spare them from the blushes of being rejected, even after performing better there. Finding no other way, good students who previously had or had not this intention to go abroad, start trying for it desperately. However, in this competitive world it is an uphill task to get admission to a suitable university abroad. As a result, life becomes harder for those poor good students.
Despite being meritorious, most students of my university are now strongly motivated not to invest their time in academic activities. How can a university like BUET flourish where students nurture this attitude? How can we expect a better ranking from such a university? Also how long would we imprudently admonish those expatriate good students who are being forced to leave the country? Who is to blame for this? The employers, the infrastructure or the students themselves?
