The students under the banner of General Students Action Council (GSAC) declared the programme at a rally held on the campus on Saturday. The rally followed a procession.

The students at the rally alleged that the university authorities were playing the role of a silent spectator regarding the demand for cancellation of grading system. They also vowed to continue class boycott till their demand is met.

The university authorities had assured them to revive 'class system' but did not take any initiative. This is increasing the session jam.

Mahmudul Quader presided over the rally, addressed by, among others, Rupam, Abdur Rab, Happy, Pinki, Zia and Nahid.

At the Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET), third year students of civil engineering department started class- boycott yesterday demanding repeal of an expulsion order on three fellow students.

The CUET authorities expelled Mohammed Alamgir, Chinmoy Barua and Mamtaz Sami Billah on Wednesday as they could not obtain 40 credits.

Students of the department alleged that the authorities did not give any prior notice before the expulsion. They also said the CUET is being run under the Bangladesh Institute of Technology (BIT) Ordinance even after it was upgraded to its present position.
