IU Students Protest Delay in Marksheet Distribution

Published

Islamic University (IU) students from the 2018–19 academic session are facing significant hurdles, as they’re still awaiting their official marksheets a full year after graduating. This prolonged delay is preventing many from pursuing job opportunities and higher education, drawing sharp criticism from the Bangladesh Students’ Union, IU unit.

In a press release issued on Monday, July 7, the student organization voiced its “deep dissatisfaction and concern,” labeling the delay “completely unacceptable.” The statement, signed by IU unit president Mahmudul Hasan and general secretary Nur Alam, highlighted that while university authorities cite “software-related issues” as the cause, the union believes the persistent problem points to administrative failure and negligence towards student welfare.

“When transcripts and certificates can be printed and distributed online, such a long delay in issuing marksheets is both disappointing and disgraceful,” the student leaders asserted.

The Students’ Union has urged the IU administration to take immediate steps to resolve the issue and ensure students are not subjected to “unnecessary harassment” when collecting their academic documents. They also warned that if effective action isn’t taken promptly, they will organize peaceful demonstrations in coordination with the wider student body.

The Ummul Muminin Ayesha Siddika Hall at Islamic University (IU), Kushtia, has rolled out a free Quran learning program for its female residents. Kicking off on Saturday, July 5, the “Free Correct Quran Education” initiative held its inaugural session in the hall’s prayer room.

The launch saw the presence of Hall Provost Prof. Dr. A.K.M. Rasheduzzaman, alongside house tutors and office staff. A total of 35 female students attended the first session, which commenced with a prayer.

To ensure quality instruction, an experienced female instructor from Kushtia has been appointed. The classes will emphasize correct pronunciation and recitation of the Quran (Tajweed), aiming to deepen students’ religious understanding and values. According to hall authorities, the program is completely free, with only a nominal charge for a few supplementary books.

One participating student praised the initiative, stating, “The provost took a wonderful initiative for us. These programs will greatly enhance our religious knowledge alongside academic learning.”

Prof. Dr. A.K.M. Rasheduzzaman, the Hall Provost, shared his enthusiasm, saying, “We are grateful to the Almighty for allowing us to introduce such a meaningful program—perhaps the first of its kind in any public university dormitory. Our goal is to ensure that our students receive proper Quranic education so that they can enlighten their lives with the teachings of the Holy Quran, alongside their pursuit of worldly knowledge.”

This new program has garnered positive feedback from both students and the wider university community, marking a significant stride towards promoting a balanced spiritual and academic environment for female students at Islamic University.
