After the meeting, Prof Dr Mizanur Rahman, vice-chancellor of Jagannath University and also joint convenor of the committee formed by vice chancellors of the universities keen on holding coordinated admission test, said it is not possible to hold admission test if the coronavirus situation of the country does not improve.

Prof Dr Mizanur said, “The cluster system admission test fee has been fixed at Tk 500. SMS will be sent to the mobile phone of the applicant if he/she is eligible for the test. The admission seeker will have to pay the fee before appearing the test. An applicant will choose institution for admission by own choice and also will select the test centre. In this connection, 20 options will be available.”
