IHT students in Rajshahi demand suppl exams
Students of the Institute of Health Technology (IHT) here yesterday went on fast unto death demanding introduction of supplementary examinations in all the courses.
Sources said, the students of BSC in library, BSC in physiotherapy and BSC in nursing at the institute gathered in front the Shaheed Minar premises at noon and began their programme.
The students alleged that 400 of them at the IHT, run by Rajshahi University medicine faculty, do not have the scope for supplementary examinations.
Stressing the need for such examination, the students said many had to lose an academic year after failing to secure pass mark in one subject.
They said while the students of IHT under Dhaka University have the opportunity for supplementary examination, they are deprived of it.
They also vowed to continue their fast unto death programme until the authorities accept their demand.
Earlier on December 5, the IHT students agitated on the campus to press home their demand.
They also vandalised the administrative building and damaged the principal's room after police action left 10 students injured on the campus.
