The country's public universities can arrange online recruitment tests and interviews mandatorily incorporating five conditions, the University Grants Commission (UGC) said in a new decision on Sunday.
UGC said public universities can arrange conditional recruitment tests and interviews online including in-person tests in order to meet the interest of continuing higher educational activities in the country.
A letter signed by UGC Secretary Ferdous Zaman to this effect was sent to the vice-chancellors and registrars of all public universities on Sunday, said UGC in a statement.
According to the letter, in the current situation of Covid-19, online education is being conducted in the universities.
If it is not possible to take the conventional in-person recruitment test and interview, the recruitment process can be completed by taking the online test and interview following five conditions, it added.
The conditions include -- online recruitment tests and interviews may not conflict with university law; the recruitment activities will have to be incorporated through circulation of open notification against the approved posts in accordance with the laws, statutes and rules of the university and in line with demand of the concerned authorities.
There must be a policy approved by the university syndicate in accordance with the recommendations of the academic council of the university for conducting online recruitment examinations and interviews.
