Some officials of the ministry admitted that although there are sufficient seats in the higher secondary level, the standard and quality educational institutions are rare.

Kamrul Hasan, a guardian, said, “My son has passed the SSC examination this year. I have applied at five college in Dhaka but I am in doubt about the admission of my son.”
“The government is advertising that there is no seat crisis in higher secondary level institutions. But actually there is tremendous seat crisis at reputed and standard educational institutions,” he said.
Another guardian Salma Begum said, her daughter has applied for Viqarunnisa Noon School and College and City College for admission. But it is uncertain. Its depend on luck.
“My daughter passed from a rural school in Norail district. I would like to admit her in a reputed college in Dhaka for better education and result.

The students crowed at reputed colleges every year. Some seats always remain empty at each academic session. And the scenario of the rural areas’ institutions is not good. They are suffering from students’ crisis.
