On Monday, candidates of all the panels, except the Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL), alleged that they had not been shown the ballot boxes before the vote began and three ballot boxes remained missing.

It was alleged that female students and quota reformers panel's Nur were attacked by the BCL activists in front of Ruqayyah Hall.
