Account BenefitRUET Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr. Rafiqul Alam Beg said, this is the first time such incident occurred in the 52 years history of RUET. Are these seats will left empty or the candidates will be pulled out among who could not pass the entrance exam? The Academic Council of the university is the decision-making authority on this. The academic council has a meeting a week later. The issue will be in the agenda. What to do will be decided according to the meeting.

He said, "2 thousand 5 hundred students were successfully passed the admission test. But all of those were not attended at the time of admission. Candidates who doing well here, they're doing well everywhere. They may have been admitted to another university. Admission tests of all universities were held around the same time, it is also one of the reasons."
