Hundreds of students of Dhaka University staged a demonstration at the premise of Raju Sclupture demanding reduced fee for applying in government jobs on Wednesday.

They propose to set Tk 200 for 9^th grade job, 150 for 10^th grade, 100 for 11^th-14^th grade and Tk 50 for 15-20^th grade government jobs as applying fees.

They also informed that currently, the authorities take Tk 1000 for 9^th grade, 500 for 10^th grade and Tk 200 for 17-20^th grade jobs’ applying fee.

A protesting student named Yamin from the department of Islamic Studies said, “Where the developed countries provide allowance for the unemployed, our country is charging extra-fees from the unemployed.”

“We don’t need unemployment allowance; we just need reduced fees in applying for government jobs,” he added.
