The Chittagong University (CU) administration has opted to implement doping tests during the final admission process for students who have successfully completed the academic year 2023-24.
According to CU authorities, if a student tests positive, their admission will be revoked.
On Sunday, the decision was taken during a meeting of the Dean's Committee concerning admissions, said Prof Dr Rashed Mostafa, dean of the Faculty of Engineering.
Prof Rashed said: "We have resolved to require a doping test certificate from students applying for admission for the academic year 2023-24, in addition to their admission test papers. If a positive result is obtained, admission will be revoked."
Responding to inquiries regarding doping test venue, he said: "The specific location has not been finalized yet. However, it is possible that the tests will be conducted at the Chittagong University Medical Centre."
