One more student was reportedly found fake in the department of Islamic Studies of Dhaka University (DU), department sources said on Thursday.

The student has already completed his fourth-year honours final examinations- 2006 held in 2007.

Sources said he got admitted in honours first-year in 2002- '03 session in Islamic Studies Department through the admission test under group changing 'Gha Unit' adopting unfair means. As per the admission rule, no student of arts or humanities group can get admitted in any subject of arts or humanities through Gha Unit admission test.

The student with arts background got admitted in Islamic Studies Department allegedly by managing department and the university staffs. However, the student could not be contacted immediately as his cell phone was switched off.

When contacted DU Pro-Vice Chancellor AFM Yusuf Haider, convener of fake admission probe committee, said he did not yet receive any formal complain against the student, but he would look into the matter once he receives necessary documents at his hand.

Finding fake students has become a major concern for Dhaka University, which has already identified 207 students cheating authorities with fake documents.
