Students of International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC) in the district’s Sitakunda upazila yesterday staged demonstrations on the university’s Kumira campus to press home its 13-point demand.
The demands include reduction in additional dormitory and transport fees.
They also boycotted classes and held a protest rally on the campus around 10am.
Students complained that the university authorities imposed different kinds of fees but they were not provided with enough facilities.
The fees are so exorbitant that many students cannot afford to pay, they said.
The university failed to provide uninterrupted water supply and transport service but the authorities increased dormitory and transport fees.
Refuting the allegation of increasing fees Md Shafi Uddin, proctor of the university, said the students had staged the demonstrations to press home their other demands.
He said the demonstrations were over and the students went to their classrooms as soon as the university authorities gave them assurance of meeting their logical demands.
