Calculator prohibited in DU admission tests
Campus Report
Calculators and other electronic devices will not be allowed during the admission tests of Dhaka University (DU) to prevent cheating.
Last year, several students had been caught using such devices to cheat during the admission test. The rule bars the use of mobile phones, watches and other such electronic gadgets as well as calculators.
Calculators come in handy during ‘Ka’ unit tests – physics and mathematics – and the latest move is likely to hit the aspirants hard.
DU Vice-Chancellor AAMS Arefin Siddique defended the decision, saying there would not be any question that would require the use of calculators. He said many candidates tried to cheat during several past entry tests using ‘mobile modes’ on their calculator devices. “The decision has been taken to prevent such malpractices”, he added.
Applicants can apply online like in the previous year. Aug 31, 2014 has been set as the deadline for filing applications. Candidates will have to pay Tk. 300/- as admission fee and another Tk. 50/- for service charge. The amount can be deposited in any branch of the Sonali, Janata, Agrani or Rupali bank.
This year, 6,582 students will get the chance to enroll in five units. Of them, ‘Ka’ unit will offer 1,640 seats, ‘Kha’ unit 2,221, ‘Ga’ unit 1,170, ‘Gha’ unit 1,416, and ‘Cha’ unit 135 seats.
