Students are observing a complete shutdown at all engineering universities across the country, demanding three key points.

Students said that Thursday is their weekly holiday, but exams are usually held on all days except Friday. They are boycotting all the exams and their shutdown program is ongoing.

Notably, on Wednesday noon, the movement, led by the Engineering Rights Movement, followed clashes with police in which many students were injured.

Amid this, engineering students across Bangladesh have announced a nationwide shutdown of all engineering universities from Thursday, suspending classes and exams as part of their intensified protest.
