BARISAL, Sept 2: Barisal Veterinary Institute, the outer campus of Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU), were closed sine die Wednesday following student movement, reports UNB.
The authorities asked the students to vacate their dormitories by 4pm today.
The students of the institute have been observing various programmes since August 26 demanding reinstatement of their one-year internship and scrapping the changes in curriculum.
They held rallies, brought out shoe processions, burnt effigies of the VC and faculty dean of PSTU and locked academic and administrative buildings.
The striking students also threatened to wage tougher movement, including blocking Barisal-Dhaka highway, to press home their demands.
In the wake of such circumstances, the authorities in an emergency academic council meeting decided to close the institute for an indefinite period.
Today''s scheduled examinations of the 5th and 8th semesters were also suspended.
Additional police have been deployed on the campus.
The students alleged that the reduction of the internship tenure to six months from one year and change in the curriculum would seriously hamper the education of the old-batch students.
