Dhaka University (DU) authorities have decided to postpone for the next five weeks the new enrolment in evening courses.

Most public universities in the country are planning to stop fresh enrollment in their evening courses in compliance with the directive of the University Grants Commission (UGC) in this regard.

Noting that running of evening courses tarnishes the features and reputation of public universities, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has ordered the closure of such courses at all the public universities.
