DHAKA, Sept 29, 2019 (BSS) – 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.
So it’s quite natural to make traffic congestion on roads which sometimes
makes the admission seekers difficult to reach them to their exam halls
timely.
Taking this into consideration, BCL DU unit launched “Joy Bangla Bike
Service” this time to reach the aspirants to their destinations, sources
said.
DU admission aspirant Koushik Ahmed came to attend the entrance test of DU
with a hope to get admitted into the institution.
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.

message from BCL,” said Mehedy Hasan Mizan, general secretary of Mohsin Hall
