"We had no choice but to take a position on the road. We have urged the authorities to ease the existing CGPA requirements, which are unfriendly to students," he added.

According to Dhaka University's current criteria, to advance to the second year, first-year students must achieve a minimum CGPA of 2.00; second-year students must achieve 2.25; and third-year students must achieve 2.50.
