96% Attendance Recorded in GST 'C' Unit Admission Test at IU

The General Science and Technology (GST) admission test for the Business Studies unit (C unit) under the 2024–25 academic session was conducted successfully today at Islamic University (IU) in Kushtia.

According to Professor Dr. Shelina Nasrin, convener of the C unit admission test, 96.18 percent of the 1,310 registered candidates appeared for the exam at the IU centre, which was one of 20 designated test venues across the country.

The one-hour examination was held from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM across two main locations — the Faculty Building and the Rabindra Nazrul Arts Building. To ensure the smooth execution of the test, all academic classes and internal exams at the university were suspended for the day.

In a show of support, several student organizations including Bangladesh Chhatra Dal, Bangladesh Islami Chhatra Shibir, Students Against Discrimination, Bangladesh Students Union, Islami Chhatra Andolan Bangladesh, and Jamiat Talaba Arabia assisted candidates and guardians by distributing water, pens, chocolates, and offering resting spaces.

IU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. Nakib Muhammad Nasrullah expressed his satisfaction with the exam environment, stating, "The examination was held in a well-organized and peaceful manner. I did not observe any irregularities. I believe the test concluded smoothly and without complications."
