BCL DU unit makes unique example to assist admission aspirants
Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL)’s Dhaka University (DU) unit earned a huge acclamation for reaching the DU admission seekers to their selected exam halls on time who were not being able to find and go to the centers.
The pro-Awami League student organisation took the charge over their shoulders of reaching those admission aspirants to the concerned examination halls inside and outside campus with their “Joy Bangla Bike Service”.
BCL DU chapter introduced the bike service to help the admission seekers reach their examination halls during the whole time of admission tests. During the time of admission to Dhaka university, there is huge rush in the campus and surrounding areas as tens of thousands of students advances to the university to sit for admission.
Along with DU premises, the admission tests is also held at different educational institutions outside the campus because the DU authorities isn’t able to arrange sit only at the university for such a huge aspirants due to shortage of adequate place.

When he along with his father came to Nilkhet area, Koushik had only 15 minutes in hand to sit for the “Gha” unit exam on Friday.
At that time, an activist of Bangladesh Chhatra League (BCL) named Tahmid Tajwar Niloy, a fine art student quickly took him to the exam hall at Business Faculty with his motorcycle within the remaining time.
Like Koushik, a good number of candidates got assistance from BCL leaders and activists who were ready at several points near DU campus.
“Today, I helped six students to reach their exam halls. It made me happy when I became able to help an applicant and his guardian,” said Ashikur Rahman, a sophomore in international relation department.
DU BCL also set up a total 21 booths in different important places and deployed volunteers to provide information to the examinees and guardians. Different hall units were given charge to supervise the booths.
A businessman named Amzad Hossain came with his son Sazid Hossain at his son’s exam center at the University Laboratory School. Talking about BCL’s assistance, he said “I appreciated their activities as I also got drinking water from them.”
The examinees also got the opportunity to keep their mobile phones and bags at the booths and returned it from there after examinations.
