Second-time DU admission test

Every year, more than 50 candidates compete for each seat in the first-year admission test of Dhaka University. It is a dream university for most of our HSC passed students. However, the university allows a student only once to sit for its admission tests. In almost every country in the world, students have the opportunity to participate in the admission test for more than once. This creates an open environment for admission test.

Sadly, the DU does not have this option. If medical colleges can allow students to sit for second-time entry test, then why won't DU? There could be some students, who may miss the admission test for their sickness. Isn't it an injustice to deprive them? If the DU administration wants, it can deduct some marks from the total number of second-timer candidates. But they should be given another chance for taking part in admission tests.
