The Barisal University admission tests have been postponed till further notice because of the ongoing blockade programme of the BNP-led alliance, the BU officials said on Tuesday.
The press conference on the preparations of the tests, which was scheduled to be held on Tuesday on the temporary university campus, was also postponed because of the ongoing political situation, the officials added.
The admission tests were scheduled to be held on Thursday in 3 shifts at 11 centers including the temporary and permanent campuses of the BU, four government colleges, two government schools, one government technical institute and two private colleges in the city.
The BU admission committee technical chief, Shafiul Alam, has said that a total of 29,690 candidates have registered for taking the tests against 1,160 seats in 16 departments under six faculties of the university.
The university authorities planned to start classes on the university’s temporary campus at Barisal Zilla School and permanent campus at Karnakathi from January completing the admission tests and formalities before that, said the university vice-chancellor, Dr Harunor Rashid.
The BU acting register, Md Muhsin Uddin, said the next exam schedule along with the detailed seat plan would be informed to the candidates through announcements on electronic and print media and also would be available at www.barisaluniv.edu.bd .
