To press home their demand, a number of successful candidates from across the country staged a sit-in and took part in a silent procession wearing black badges from the Central Shaheed Minar in the city.

They also placed wreaths at the memorial of Shaheed Doctor Milon on Dhaka University campus.

During the sit-in programme, the students said a section of failed students are trying to create hindrances and delay the admission process.

A vested quarter is patting them from behind to destroy country's medical education system in a planned way, they added.

Terming the allegation of unsuccessful candidates baseless, the qualified students said they have no valid evidence to prove that the question paper was leaked out.

They also expressed apprehension that if their illegal demands are met and the authorities concerned try to arrange readmission test, the successful students will be disheartened and discouraged in pursuing their study in medical science.

A High Court Division directed the government to maintain a status quo on the MBBS admission test on November 27 for six weeks.

The order came following writ petition filed by five disqualified candidates challenging the legality of the examination.

In the writ, the petitioners said the question paper was leaked out in the early hours of November 17.
