The much-awaited uniform admission test or Central Admission Test (CAT) is going to be introduced for enrolling students at the public universities in the country.
The universities are all set to introduce the uniform admission test from this academic year to reduce hassles of admission seekers and their guardians during entry test in the higher education institutions.
Thirty-three public universities out of 39 have agreed to hold the uniform admission test under several clusters to enrol the students.
However, six other universities Dhaka University, Rajshahi University, Jahangirnagar University, Chittagong University, Bangladesh University of Professionals and Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology opted out of the system.
The universities agreed earlier this month to hold the test titled Central Admission Test to reduce the hassles faced by admission seekers.
Vice chancellors of the 19 universities at a meeting yesterday decided that there will be three exams in the test one each for science, humanities and business studies students based on Higher Secondary Certificate exams syllabus.
The test will be held at all the 19 universities and students who passed HSC-level exams this year and 2019 with a certain GPA will be eligible to participate in the test.
The new method of admission has been in discussion since 2010. It was aimed at relieving the admission seekers from having to travel to different universities in different parts of the country every admission season just to be able to sit for the tests.
