The elections to the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (DUCSU) and its residential hall unions will have been scheduled for Mar 11.
After nearly three decades, the university is holding polls to its students unions.
The announcement came on Wednesday (Jan 23) in a statement by Vice Chancellor Md Akhtaruzzaman.
It said that polls will open at 8am and end on 2pm that day.
The long-pending elections to the Dhaka University Central Students’ Union (Ducsu) and its hall unions will be held on March 11.
DUCSU was formed a year after Dhaka University was established in 1921. Dhaka University’s student leaders were at the forefront of the Language Movement and the Independence Movement.
Though DUCSU elections are to be held every year, there have only been six since independence.
The last election was held on Jun 6, 1990. Though efforts were made several times, no election has been organised since then.
In January this year, the High Court settled a six-year-old rule on the issue, ordering the polls to be held by six months.
