The study finds out that no specific rules and regulation even though unified policy are survived for recruitment process at the public universities in Bangladesh. Government tries to formulate unified recruitment policy but all efforts nipped in the buds due to massive hindrance from the public universities. The study shows that corruption, favoritisms, nepotism, patronage and political consideration are the major aspect of recruitment process that affects the whole higher education system in Bangladesh.
