Question leaks not new at DU: VC

DU publishes ‘Gha’ unit test results

The decision came from a two-hour meeting of the deans’ committee on Tuesday, Vice-Chancellor Prof Md Akhtaruzzaman told bdnews24.com.

But the date for the tests will be announced later.

“We hope the debate over the digital cheating or question paper leak, whatever it is, will end with the new test,” Dhaka University Teachers’ Association President ASM Maksud Kamal said.

As many as 18,464 or 26.21 percent candidates passed the tests, according to the results announced after a delay due to an initial investigation into the leak allegations.

It turned out that 70 of the 100 candidates who aced the tests could not even clear the admission hurdles of other units, prompting the university students to come out in force demanding the results be declared void.

A parent of a candidate who failed the ‘Gha’ unit tests filed a writ petition over the same demand on Sunday.

Ruling Awami League’s student front Bangladesh Chhatra League had also submitted a memorandum to the VC demanding fresh tests before the deans’ committee sat for the meeting.  

The admission test was taken in 81 centres in and outside the Dhaka University campus on Oct 12.

Journalists found fourteen images of a handwritten question paper of the unit’s entry test about 31 minutes after the exam had begun.

But it was found that the question paper was on a student’s phone 43 minutes before the test commenced.

The university formed a three-member panel to investigate the alleged leaks of the admission test questions.

Law enforcers have arrested six people for their alleged involvement in the leaks.
