Fighting in the admission test
Saima Ahmed, Dept. of English IIUC, Chittagong
After passing the HSC examination, most of the students want to get themselves admitted into any public medical college or engineering institutes or universities and so on. But seats at these institutions are limited and the number of students is higher than the number of seats available. So the students have to sit for a tough admission test. It is like the survival of the fittest. The examinations are highly competitive. So getting 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 based on MCQ. 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. But he answers the question only by assumption. Besides this, most of the universities take examination on several subjects. Suppose, a student wants to study in English. But he has to give examination on Bengali, general knowledge and in some universities on the other subjects of humanity group -- why is it necessary? I do not understand. I think the admission test should be taken subject wise. Sometimes, for the limitation of seats and such system of admission test many students do not get a chance of studying in a public institution. So the number of seats should be increased and the system of admission test should be changed.
