Shaheed Abu Sayeed has successfully passed the graduation final exam for the 2019-2020 academic year of the Department of English at Begum Rokeya University, Rangpur (BRUR).
"Abu Sayeed is ranked 14th in the combined merit list with a CGPA of 3.30 out of 4 as per the results published today," BSS reported on Sunday citing a press release.
Sayeed, who was tragically killed in a police firing during the anti-discrimination student-people movement in front of the university on July 16 this year, became a symbol of resistance. His sacrifice sparked a nationwide movement that ultimately led to the ousting of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on August 5.
The results were published today with the approval of BRUR Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr Md Showkat Ali.
While announcing the results, the Vice-chancellor said, "The talented student Shaheed Abu Sayeed is no longer with us. But the result of his graduation final exam was released today."
"Among 69 students of the batch, Abu Sayeed has secured 14th rank in merit list. We are proud of his academic achievement, but we deeply mourn his absence. I pray for his soul to rest in peace."
Acting Registrar of BRUR Dr Md Tajul Islam, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Technology Dr Md Mizanur Rahman, Director of the Office of the Student Affairs Dr Md Ileas Pramanik and Additional Controller of Examinations Md Firozul Islam and others were present in the results publication ceremony.
