A controversy has arisen at Jahangirnagar University after a newly published dormitory list mistakenly placed a female student in a male dorm room.

As the academic year 2024–25 begins on Sunday, the university released class rolls, registration numbers, and hall seat allocations. In one list for Dormitory No. 10, the name of a female student was included alongside three male students in room 138.

The university clarified through an official notice that the student in question had in fact been allocated a room in Begum Khaleda Zia Hall. Professor Mohammad Rezaul Rakib acknowledged the error, calling it accidental.

However, Deputy Registrar (Education) Mohammad Ali Reza stated that the official website contains no mistakes, blaming the discrepancy on internal mismanagement within the hall administration.
