Fighting for admission !
Saima Ahmed, Dept. of English IIUC, Chittagong.
After passing the HSC examinations, most of the students want to get themselves admitted to any public medical college or engineering university, and so on. But seats in these institutions are limited and the numbers of the students are much more than the number of the seats. So the students have to sit for a tough admission test. It is like a fight. It is such a competitive examination that even a fraction of a number is very important. So getting a chance has become a matter of luck. I think our present system of admission test is not correct. Most of the institutions take admission test on MCQ questions. The answers to the questions are set in such a way that sometimes the students become confused and they cannot answer correctly. Sometimes, if luck favours, the answer of a student may be correct, although he does not know the correct answer. He answers the question only on assumption. Besides, most of universities take admission tests on many subjects. Suppose, a student wants to study English, but he has to appear in exams on Bengali, general knowledge and some other subjects. Why is it necessary? I do not understand it. I think the admission test should be taken subject-wise.Due to the limited number of seats and the system of admission test, many students do not get the chance of studying in a public institution. So the number of seats should be increased and the system of admission test must be changed.
