The admission test for the academic session of 2019-20 of Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) was held on Monday (Oct 14). The three-hour exam began at 9 a.m. A total of 12,161 candidates contested for 1,060 seats this year.
The applicants were not allowed to take mobile phones, smart watches or any other electronic devices in the examination halls except admit card, pen/pencil and calculators of approved models, said a press release.
Student protest, triggered by the death of second-year EEE student Abrar Fahad last week, threatened to disrupt this year’s entry test. The students decided to ease their demonstration to facilitate the admission test after BUET authorities issued notices accepting some of their demands.
