Students of social welfare institute at Dhaka University (DU) yesterday made their teachers hostage inside the institute building by locking the main gate to press home their demand for cancelling the decision of introducing semester system at masters level.
They locked the gate at around 4:30pm after getting a news that the academic committee meeting failed to take any decision regarding their demand.
The meeting was held to solve the problem after the students locked the institute building for about three and a half hours demanding the same on Wednesday.
Vice-Chancellor AAMS Arefin Siddque rushed to the institute and assured the students of getting a solution by Sunday about their demand.
The students then unlocked the gate at around 5:30pm.
They said they have passed the honours examination under traditional system, and if the semester system is now imposed on them at the masters level they will have to suffer a lot.
The institute authorities said they have introduced the semester system considering the future of the students.
They said the students need to show results under grading system to get admission in foreign renowned universities.
