The pronouncement came in light of the fact that a large number of students were dropping out of the university after marriage — or due to other reasons — leaving their education incomplete.
The decision was taken in the 25th meeting of the Academic Council of the university chaired by Vice Chancellor Shahana Arooj, a press release issued on Saturday said.
The meeting took various crucial decisions relating to the academic affairs of the institute and was attended by heads of all departments and administrative officers.
After the historic decision to admit women of all ages to the university, prospective students will be able to submit an application for admission based only on merit.

Also, it was resolved at the meeting that the university will raise the admission costs for MPhil and PhD students to Rs. 65,000 and Rs. 55,000, respectively, for the study of science and the humanities.
The meeting also approved the minutes of the 24th, 4th, 5th, and 6th Advanced Studies and Research Boards as well as the first Board of Studies of the Language and Literature at the Department of English at the institution.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
