Students from various universities, including Dhaka University and Jahangirnagar University, protested the High Court’s decision to reinstate the quota system in government jobs. The court ruled against the 2018 government decision to abolish the quota for freedom fighters' children.

Protesters argue that the quota system undermines merit-based opportunities. They demanded the cancellation of the verdict by June 30, warning of escalating demonstrations if their demands are not met. Similar protests were held at Barishal University, Chittagong University, Rajshahi University, and Jagannath University.
