Admission seekers now can apply for 10 colleges instead of five to get enrolled in the Higher Secondary Education.
The Education Ministry has taken the decision to commute sufferings of the students in online admission process, ministry sources said.
The admission process will start from May 26 and end on July 10.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid hoped that the admission seekers would not face any trouble in this year’s admission process.
A total of 14, 52,605 students out of 16, 45,201 passed the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and equivalent examinations this year which were published on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the admission seekers and their guardians are in fear of sufferings in the online admission process like the previous year.
They said that many students and their guardians last year faced a lot of problems like, not being able to get admitted to the college of their choice despite having even all the qualifications.
Due to technical glitches, the Education Ministry failed to publish the first merit list on time and published it three days later on June 28, 2015. Even after the list was published, the number of mistakes was so high, students were in a fix.
The college administrations couldn’t get the lists on time which caused troubles in the admission process.
Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid had apologized for the suffering students went through for the implementation of faulty college admission process.
Shamsun Nahar, a guardian, told The New Nation that her son attained GPA-5 in this year’s SSC examinations. She wants to admit her son in a reputed college in Dhaka. But she is in fear of technical problem.
“My dream will be vanished if any technical mistake occurs in the admission process like the last year. I urge the authorities concern to deal the matter properly and carefully,” she said.
Israt Jahan who achieved golden GPA-5 told this reporter that it would be bad luck if the mistake continues in the admission process. “It will destroy our hope,” she said.
Educational institutions will have to complete the admissions online. Students will be also able to apply by sending text messages from Teletalk numbers between May 26 and Jun 9. Those who have sought a review of their results will have to apply within the same deadline.
Lists of eligible candidates will be published on June 16 and students will be able to enroll until June 30.
A late admission fee will be applicable to get admitted between July 10 and 20.
Candidates can apply online by paying Tk 150. They can choose up to ten colleges and pay Tk 120 for each.
The revised guideline says 89 per cent of the seats at colleges in seven divisional headquarters will be open to all.
Of the rest, five per cent will be reserved as ‘freedom fighter quota’; three per cent from students coming outside the divisional headquarters.
Another two per cent has to be reserved for children of staff of Education Ministry and its departments, the institution itself as well as for members of the college’s managing body. Besides, 0.5 per cent seats will be reserved for children of expatriate Bangladeshis and the remaining 0.5 per cent for BKSP (the state-owned sports academy) students.
