CUET students announce sitting for term finals

Maintaining the regular pace of education and research at the nation's premier engineering and technology institutions requires preventing session jams and conducting timely examinations. According to relevant sources, in a statement issued under the banner of 'All Students of CUET' on Friday, November 13, students of Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) announced their firm decision to sit for regular term final examinations on November 15 and 16 according to the revised routines published by their respective departments. Responding to applications signed by the mass student body, teachers arranged the exams, and students remain resolute in participating on the scheduled dates.

In the statement, students explained that due to the previous stalemate, exams could not be held on schedule, prompting them to apply to their respective departments to prevent further academic loss. Department heads, acting as chairmen of the examination committees, signed the revised routines, under which concerned teachers are conducting the exams. Despite the change in dates, the assessments are being held as regular term finals.

The students clarified that sitting for exams is purely a decision to advance their studies and cannot be interpreted as consent to the appointment of Professor Dr. Sheikh Shariful Alam. Rather, their stance demanding the reinstatement of Professor Dr. Abu Sadat Muhammad Sayem remains unchanged. Expressing concern, the statement noted that certain quarters, unable to accept the students' return to normal academic activities, are conspiring to halt regular classes and exams through various malpractices. Vowing to strictly resist any anti-student plots, they emphasized seeking a fair resolution and a normal educational environment rather than instability.

Delivering a strong message regarding the administration, the students stated that a Vice-Chancellor who unleashes attackers on students, halts salaries and allowances of teachers, officers, and staff, and plots to shut down normal academic activities is not their Vice-Chancellor. Finally, CUET students pledged to continue their rightful movement for the reinstatement of Professor Dr. Abu Sadat Muhammad Sayem alongside sitting for examinations as per the announced routine.
