Introduce written admission test: Syed Manzoorul Islam
He said applicants for the 2020-21 academic session should be required to take the test
Noted educator Professor Syed Manzoorul Islam has said universities should introduce written admission tests to scrutinise applicants for the 2020-21 academic session.

Syed Manzoorul Islam stated this while talking toThe Business Standard after the results of Higher Secondary Certificate and its equivalent examinations were published.
