The examinees, who took part in the recruitment tests of the eight state-run banks on Friday, have alleged that the examinations were held amid gulf of irregularities.
So, they have demanded cancellation of the tests. Otherwise, they will go to the court for justice.
The examinees said these from a demonstration held in front of the Jatiya Press Club. They also brought out a procession to march towards Bangladesh Bank. But the police intercepted them. As a result, they went to Dhaka University campus.
They said that Dhaka University’s Management Department arranged the examinations and failed to finish it perfectly.
“There were many irregularities in the examinations’ halls. The question papers also were leaked. The seat plan was not allocated orderly,” said Khaled Saifullah, an examinee.
According to a number of candidates, there were no seat plans at Hazrat Shah Ali Mohila College centre and in many cases four to five candidates sat on a single bench, meant for two.
The authorities on Saturday announced a date for retaking the recruitment tests of eight state-run banks in the capital following demonstration of candidates of two examination centres ( Government Bangla College in Mirpur-1 and Hazrat Shah Ali Mohila College) over seat shortage and mismanagement.
It may be mentioned that the Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court Syed Mahmud Hossain on Thursday stayed the order of the High Court that postponed recruitment tests of state-owned Sonali, Rupali and Janata banks and now there is no bar to arrange the recruitment process of the posts of senior officer, officer (cash) and of the three banks.
The Chamber Judge of the Appellate Division passed the order hearing a petition filed by Bangladesh Bank on Wednesdfay. Attorney General Mahbubey Alam stood for the central bank.
On January 7, the High Court stayed the recruitment process following a writ petition filed by 28 candidates who applied for the different posts of Sonali Bank as per the circular issued in 2016. The recruitment examination for senior officers of eight state owned banks was scheduled to be held on January 12.
