To,
The Head of the Department,
Department of IRE,
University of Frontier Technology, Bangladesh
Respected Sir,
I, a student of session 2020–2021, respectfully submit this grievance regarding the
denial of my application for re-evaluation for my deserving marks of my midterm Part
B script in ICT4359 (Cloud Computing) which I have done after facing discrimination
in checking my script. My request was verbally rejected after 2.5 months, with the
reasoning that “no such rules exist in our university” and I was also informed that a
committee had been formed, but no substantive resolution or written response was
provided. This decision appears arbitrary, inconsistent with Rule 53 of the University
Statutes and contrary to the Fundamental Rights guaranteed by the Constitution of
the People’s Republic of Bangladesh.
Chronology of Events:
● 15/07/2025: Script for Part B was shown.
● 15/07/2025: I formally applied for re-evaluation of my paper.
● 04/10/2025: Authority verbally denied my request, stating no such rules exist
and suggesting informal resolution with the examiner which I believe is neither
transparent nor impartial.
Legal/Statutory Basis:
Rule 53 of University Statutes explicitly provides students with the right to submit
grievances to the appropriate authority, with such matters decided by a Grievance
Management Committee formed by the Vice Chancellor. My application falls
squarely under this provision.
● Violation of Article 27 – Equality Before Law: As a student and citizen, I am
entitled to equal protection of the law. Many universities in Bangladesh allow
script re-evaluations to protect fairness. Denying me this safeguard places me
at a disadvantage without lawful justification.
● Violation of Article 28(3) – Non-discrimination in Education: Article 28(3)
guarantees that no citizen shall be subjected to any restriction in admission or
treatment in educational institutions. By refusing re-evaluation altogether, the
university denies equal treatment in academic evaluation.
● Violation of Article 31 – Right to Protection of Law: Article 31 ensures that
every citizen is entitled to be treated in accordance with law. A refusal to
provide any mechanism for correcting errors in academic evaluation amounts
to denying me protection of law in my academic career.
Principles of Natural Justice Violated:
● Right to be Heard: My application was rejected without a reasoned written
response.
● Transparency: No re-checking process ensures transparency in grading.
● Error Correction: Refusal assumes examiner infallibility, which is
unreasonable.
Relief Sought:
I humbly request the Grievance Management Committee to:
● Direct the Controller of Examinations or relevant authority to allow re-
evaluation of my ICT4359 Part B script by an independent/second examiner.
● Ensure that the re-checking process is transparent, documented and reported
to me in writing.
● Provide an official written clarification of the university’s policy on re-check/re-
evaluation and if absent, recommend its adoption in line with Rule 53 and
constitutional principles.
● Ensure that no academic prejudice or discrimination is directed towards me
for raising this grievance.
● Withhold publication of my result for this course until the grievance is resolved
in a fair and transparent manner.
I, therefore, submit this grievance in good faith and with respect for the integrity of
the university’s academic procedures. I request a written acknowledgement of this
grievance and a timely reasoned decision in accordance with the statutes and
principles of natural justice. Till then please halt my exam result for this course.
Sincerely,
Md Kowsar Islam
