An academic council meeting of the university today took the decision that it will enroll the students as per its own admission rules.
Earlier on Monday, Dhaka University and Rajshahi University declared they would not adopt the uniform admission test.
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (Buet) and Chattogram University made similar decisions earlier.
On January 23, the University Grants Commission (UGC), the statutory apex body for higher education, took the decision to hold uniform admission test at a meeting with vice-chancellors of public universities.
