Successful students to be deprived of getting admission
Tuesday, 18 May 2010
Despite repeated requests from guardians to increase seats in public and private colleges, the government could hardly fulfill the demand which ultimately brought a hard time once again for the college admission seekers this year.
Increasing number of pass rate with huge GPA-5 achievers in this year's SSC results, apparently pushed the authorities of colleges into fresh trouble as they are unable to accommodate a good number of highest scorers simply because of limited seats, reports UNB.
A total of 960,492 students have passed under ten educational boards this year with a record of 79.98 per cent success rate, a rise of 9.09 per cent more than the previous year's.
The Rajshahi Board followed with a pass rate of 85.61 per cent, the Technical Board with 82.72 per cent, Comilla 81.03 per cent, Jessore with 79.18 per cent, Sylhet 78.42 per cent, Dhaka 77.99 per cent, Barisal 74.64 per cent, Chittagong 72.31 per cent and coming last was Dinajpur with 71.70 per cent.
Of the total number of the successful students, 511,971 were male, and 448,521 wer female. The pass rate amongst male students was 81.84 per cent, while for the females it was 77.95 per cent.

Of them, a total of 82,961 students achieved the distinction of securing the maximum GPA of 5, some 20,656 more than that of last year.
An analysis on available seats and numbers of admission seekers reveals that over 300,000 candidates will not be able to enroll at colleges and other relevant institutions this year due to inadequate seat of the colleges forcing their lives in uncertain situation.
According to Bangladesh Bureau of Education Information and Statistics (BANBEIS), there are only 2,794 colleges including 241 public colleges for the HSC students in the country where some 4,70,492 admission seekers will be able to enroll in the higher secondary classes.
A total of 370,914 seats are currently available in 2,543 non-government colleges while 92,386 seats in 242 government colleges across the country for the HSC admission seekers.
On the other hand, nearly 150,000 students will be able to get admitted to madrasah and polytechnic institutions over the country.
The large number of remaining successful students, which is not less than 0.3 million, will be deprived of admission due to seat shortage in educational institutions.
It is observed that the admission crisis will occur at the city's colleges due to seat limitation as the top students who secured the maximum GPA-5 are enthusiastic to get admitted to the city's renowned colleges.
The guardians of the students feared that as the accommodation capacity of the city colleges are not increased, they will face hard luck in ensuring admission of their sons and daughters in colleges.
Principal of Notre Dame College Benjamin D Costa told journalists that it would be a difficult task to address the large number of students in enrolling at colleges of the country as the seat capacity of the colleges was not increased.
"We have no plans to increase seats in Notre Dame College, although the success rate of SSC increased this year," Costa added.
