As many Dhaka University students face numerous problems for not having proof of their studentship the university authorities hope to provide smart ID cards to all undergraduate students by next month.
This optimism has been voiced by Prof Mustafizur Rahman, convener of DU online admission committee, in an interview with UNB this week.
About 2,000 of the students or over six per cent are yet to get any proper ID cards for their studentship.
Most of the students without ID cards are from the social science faculty consisting of 16 departments.
For example, students from the departments of Political Science, Sociology, International Relationship, Mass Communication and Journalism, Anthropology, Population Science, Peace and Conflict, Women and Gender studies, Television, Film and photography, Public Administration, Printing and Publications, Development Studies, Criminology and Communication Disorder are yet to get ID cards.
Prof Mustafizur told UNB this week “We have already provided 35000 smart cards to the students during Covid pandemic and remaining 2000 cards will be provided soon.”
"Students, who took readmission, will also be provided with smart ID cards", he added.
In another development, the university authorities have taken the decision of issuing smart ID cards to every student from this academic year.
Earlier, students could only avail themselves with their ID cards from halls and there were two types of hall ID cards - one is a residential ID card and another is a non-resident ID card.
