Two Advisers Meet with Engineering Students in Discussion

On Wednesday (August 27), two advisers from the interim government held a meeting with 11 representatives of protesting engineering university students. The meeting began after 7:15 PM at the Rail Bhaban. Meanwhile, students stationed at Shahbagh intersection have declared they will not leave the streets until their demands are met. Earlier in the day, the government formed an eight-member committee to evaluate the legitimacy of the demands made by BSc degree holders in the engineering profession and to formulate recommendations. However, the protesting students rejected this committee and instead put forward a five-point demand. Previously, around noon, the Cabinet Division constituted an eight-member committee comprising four advisers and representatives of engineers to examine the legitimacy of the professional demands of BSc and Diploma engineers and to provide recommendations. The committee's scope of work includes reviewing the legitimacy of the professional demands of BSc and Diploma engineers and submitting a report with recommendations. The committee has been instructed to submit its report to the government within one month. The committee is also authorized to include new members if necessary. Notably, BSc engineers from BUET and other universities across the country have been protesting with a three-point demand, including prohibiting Diploma engineers from using the title "Engineer" before their names. On the other hand, Diploma engineers are protesting with a seven-point demand, including the denial of opportunities for BSc engineers to be appointed to the post of Assistant Engineer.
