The students claimed that their honours final examinations were held in January and they were supposed to get the results within 21 days. But, their results were published on May 27 and they received the mark sheets on June 11, so they could not complete their admission process on time. 

Earlier on Sunday, the students besieged the vice chancellor's office for about two and a half hours demanding postponement of the exam. 

They said they were ready to start taking the exams on June 27. However, the university authorities said already the exam was postponed once. VC AAMS Arefin Siddique said they would not postpone the exam again.
