Students of the seven affiliated colleges of Dhaka University blockaded the Nilkhet intersection in Dhaka after their ongoing exams were postponed on Saturday.
Students who had come to sit for the exams blocked the intersection at 9am, said Senior Assistant Commissioner Sharif Mohammad Faruq of the Dhaka Metropolitan Police.
“We are trying to get them off the road,” he said.
The students lifted the blockade after two hours, when the authorities assured them of taking the remaining exam as soon as possible.
According to the protesting students, they found out about the postponement after going to take their last exam of the semester.
