At present world, we hardly can think of getting a suitable job with a certificate of
Hons. degree only, and on the contrary, when we even don’t have it, what can happen to
us then! We won’t get the Hons. degree certificate until our result is declared. If declared
once, it takes a lot months (usually – nearly an year) for students to have their certificate
in hand. In such a condition, we are terribly distorted about our life, our career, our
families... and it has been generating pressures on our psychic health to be a ‘jobless’ one
even after appearing at the Hons. final examination.
All the circumstances stated above are true almost for all the
departments/faculties of the Dhaka University. Yet, there were (are) departments also that
used to have their classes started, completed and even have exams taken of the year we
used to just step in. It means, it’s not anything impossible to maintain classes, exams and
results in time. Some other departments of the same session as ours already have their
Masters classes started while we are grazing in our parents’ bare fields!
We just want our result published, we just want our certificates in our hands
quick; we even can’t apply for a job without the certificate, because, only appearing at the
Hons. final examination is not enough even for the interview of a job – it needs the
proper certificate. If other departments can maintain it, why ours can’t then? There
shouldn’t be any excuse at all. No one of the department can tell us when our result may
be declared, or from when our Masters classes may start; but, the whimsical attitude of
the department and of our teachers (?) says, neither of this two matters is going to happen
within this year! ... Can teachers do whatever they want to do with students?
