Progotishil Chhatra Jote, a platform of left leaning student organisations, will lay siege around the Dhaka University branches of Janata, Sonali and Agrani Bank to stop selling of admission forms at an enhanced price.

The selling and submission of admission forms is supposed to begin today. But it is now uncertain due to calling strike by Progotishil Chhatra Jote and Madrasah background students threat as they will create obstruction to selling of admission form until the university authority would withdraw the condition imposed upon them.

The condition is, Madrasah students could not seek admission in eight departments of the university since they do not study English and Bangla of 200 marks each in SSC level.

The price of admission form for each unit was fixed at Tk 300, which was earlier Tk 250.

The organisations yesterday staged a demonstration on the university campus and held a rally at the Aparajeyo Bangla.

Students of the organisations urged the university authority to reduce the price escalation of the admission form. Otherwise, the authority would not be allowed to sell admission forms, they said.
