DU Dorms to Open on May 17, Exams to Be Continued

The Dhaka University (DU) residential halls will open on 17 May, although the authorities have previously taken the decision to open the dormitories for examinees on 13 March.

At the same time, under the arrangements of the respective university departments, the ongoing exams will also continue, reports media.

The developments came at an urgent academic council meeting of the university on Tuesday morning.

It should be mentioned here that several hundred DU students yesterday broke open the locks of Dr Muhammad Shahidullah and Amar Ekushey halls and went in.

On the other hand, calls for immediate reopening of residential halls got louder as students of various public universities took to the streets to press home their demand, while Jahangirnagar University students refused to leave their dorms.
