UGC forcibly imposed GST system on us: JnU Teachers Association

Sheikh Mashrick Hasan, general secretary of the Jagannath University Teachers Association (JnUTA), made this complaint in a press conference held at Jagannath University on Saturday (January 20) noon.

He said, “While Jagannath University is trying to advance, chaos is made to suppress by keeping a system like GST. We have our own Academic Council, they are the supreme authority to decide the admission process. Yet it is being forced upon us again and again,” he alleged.

Mashrick Hasan also said in this regard, “All the remaining universities are being kept separate from the four universities operated by the Ordinance of 1973. It is a step towards establishing a planned elite category among the universities of the country.”

Mashrick Hasan also said that the purposes of the GST system have completely failed.
