Dhaka: Results for the B-unit (Humanities) admission test under the General Science and Technology (GST) cluster, a centralised entrance examination system for public universities in Bangladesh, have been published today, showing a 60.50 percent passing rate. Mizanur Rahman from Brahmanbaria secured the first position with a score of 81.5 out of 100. Professor Dr Manjurul Haque, the GST core committee secretary, confirmed the result.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, of the 93,102 applicants, 76,755 sat for the examination. Among those, 46,630 students passed by scoring 30 marks or above. However, the examination process was not without issues, as the papers of 36 students were cancelled due to discrepancies in roll numbers and identification.
Notably, around 18 percent of registered applicants did not appear for the test. The lowest score recorded was 16.25, due to the negative marking scheme applied to incorrect answers, which underscores the challenging nature of the test.
Students who participated in the examination can check their results by logging into the GST website using their roll number and password.
