Dhaka University plans to implement a smart card system for central library access, barring outsiders and former students. Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof. Sitesh Chandra Bachar announced that students will scan their smart cards to enter, likely starting next month. This measure aims to alleviate the library's seat shortage. Currently, many DU students, particularly those preparing for BCS and other competitive exams, queue from 5:00am, three hours before the library opens, using personal items to reserve spots. The library, with a 1,500-student capacity, experiences daily overcrowding.
