Admission seekers will only get a single chance to enrol at Dhaka University, as the Supreme Court has rejected the petition challenging the legality of the DU decision to bar any student from taking the admission test twice.
A four-member Appellate Division bench headed by Chief Justice SK Sinha passed the order on Monday morning.
From now on only the most recently passed HSC candidates will be able to attend the test.
Previously, students received two chances to secure admission at Dhaka University; but last year the DU authorities decided to put an end to this rule, prompting protests by students who wished to sit again for the exam.
A total of 36 admission seekers and guardians later filed a writ challenging the DU decision.
Following a primary hearing on March 16, the High Court had issued a rule asking why the cancellation should not be declared illegal and why the previous system should not be reinstalled.
Later on July 8, the High Court upheld the university’s decision to bar any student from taking the admission test twice.
