The committee, formed to resolve the ongoing movement of the engineering students, on Thursday formed a 14-member working group to work on the demands of the students.
The decision was taken at the first meeting of the committee held on the day at the Bangladesh Secretariat.
After the meeting the adviser to the ministries of environment and water resources, Syeda Rizwana Hasan briefed the journalists on the meeting.
The working group will be headed by the housing and public works ministry secretary.
The students of all government and non-government engineering universities across Bangladesh started observing a complete shutdown from Thursday.
They are boycotting all academic activities including classes and examinations demanding reforms in the recruitment and promotion system of engineers in the public service and protesting at the attack on them by police on Wednesday.
The government, on the day, formed a committee to review the rationality of the demands while the students, rejecting the committee, made some fresh demands, including the formation of a new committee, an apology from the home affairs adviser for the attack on them, and action against the police personnel involved in attacking the protesting students.
The students, under the banner of Engineer鈥檚 Rights Movement, also announced the 鈥榗omplete shutdown of engineering universities鈥� until their demands would be met.
The committee is scheduled to submit its report in a month.
