Students of Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET) staged a protest on Thursday against the formation of a committee to resolve disputes between BSc engineers and diploma holders.
Gathering at the city’s Zero Point around 1 pm, the students demonstrated for over an hour, pressing three demands:

Cancellation of the proposed six-member committee,

Justice against those who misbehaved with vice-chancellors at the secretariat,

Abolishment of quotas and recruitment based solely on merit.
The students accused diploma technicians of trying to revive the quota system, even staging transport blockades to disrupt public life.
