Within hours of the Supreme Court clearing admissions based on GPA grades, the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Dhaka has come out with a list of students selected for admission to Class Eleven.
“The list has been published after the Supreme Court removed all legal hurdles for starting admissions,” Dhaka board’s Controller of Examinations SM Wahiduzzaman told bdnews24.com.
He said the board has published the list for colleges who have gone for online admissions, but those who have not will have the list up on their college notice board.
Earlier in the day, the full Appellate Bench of the Supreme Court issued a rule saying that only the Notre Dame College was exempted from the government’s order to use GPA scores for admissions.
All the other colleges could use GPA scores to admit students, the verdict said.
That cleared the deck for the admissions which had been held in abeyance after Notre Dame College challenged the government’s directive in court to use GPA scores to admit students.
The Ministry of Education on May 16 issued guidelines for nationwide enrolment into colleges on the basis of GPA obtained in SSC examinations.
On Jun 2, the court suspended the effect of the admission guidelines for six months.
The bench of Justice Moazzem Husain and Mohammad Habibul Gani also issued a rule seeking explanation as to why the guidelines will not be declared ‘illegal’.
As a result, eleventh-grade or college admission results were stopped across all educational institutions under Dhaka board.
The list of nominations was scheduled to have been announced on Sunday.
But on that day, Dhaka education board in a media release explained it had stopped admission to comply with the court directives.
