NC’s Pathway to University

Unveiling mysteries of the universe brings a thrill to the soul. Ever wondered about the article that weaseled its way to your newsfeed about a high school dropout student getting into MIT with a quick witted invention? Then the answer is right here for you.

Nerd Community recently arranged an exclusive event, NC’s Pathway to University, to answer all the questions that would get you to the academic spotlight.

It was a bright and sunny morning on August 5 when the prominent red-bricked building of Chayanaut became abuzz with activity. Scores of students from all over Dhaka defied the early morning laziness and made their way to the venue in Dhanmondi.

Our hosts, Sayeed Zamee and Zaima Nousheen, kick started the event with Mirza Noor of Sunrise coaching centre, our venue sponsor. After Noor’s welcoming speech, we were pleased to have Swapnil Saha, an EEE student of DU. He conveyed the requirements of Dhaka University admission test _ a challenge faced by many. Our next speaker was, Adnan Chowdhury from BUET who voiced the differences between BUET and DU admission tests. For example, architecture students have to answer an extra five questions in the admission test there. He also stressed the importance of how A-level Further Mathematics, even though not a requirement, will make it easier for students to get through the first semester.

At this point, MQ, a teacher of A-level Maths, and Hasib, who teaches A-level Chemistry, dropped by to motivate the students further. Both of them shared inspirational stories that made them who they are today.

We were also stunned by the unexpected presence of Ayman Sadiq, founder of 10-Minute School. Sadiq gave us a detailed account of the IBA admission test. For example, he explained the etiquettes and manners needed to survive the viva voce part. He also gave us tips and life hacks for the upcoming phases of our lives.

A very illuminating story was that of Seeam Shahid Noor of Harvard University. With only an hour of internet service, no teacher recommendation and no backup, whit only desire to drive him, Noor, from Mirpur Cadet College, was successfully interviewed by the admissions officers of Harvard and Princeton.

After Noor’s enchanting speech, we had the pleasure of welcoming Rouham Manzoor, representative of our sponsor Maces. The educational manager of Maces referred to an astonishing destination _ Japan. Japan has become a location that provides very good scholarships and education in English. Japanese universities also provide language classes in the very first semester to make it easier for students.

After the lunch break, we were further enlightened by Rouham Manzoor for U Education. There are countless opportunities for legal studies, medicine, accounting, engineering and many other subjects to bag decent amounts of scholarships at various universities. Next, we were thrilled to have Neelima Khan, educational expert of DPS who talked about the dos and don’ts of US application college essays.

Towheed Choudhury, international education expert of Scholastica, highlighted other Asian destinations, such as India, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. He also mentioned Australia and New Zealand. Furthermore, we had Tahamid Siam and Simran Billah who managed 100 percent scholarships in Germany and China respectively because of their language abilities.

Mahid Hossain of Silicon Education, another sponsor, talked about the trials of medical students and created sparks of hope as well. Lastly, we had Ishrak Ahmed, alumni of McGill University, to elucidate us about Canadian education.

Every one of the speakers had stories of failure. None of them had it all as planned. They had one thing in common: thirst for education and desire for success.

NC volunteers, meanwhile, made an educational booklet detailing education in public and private universities of Bangladesh, US, Canada, as well as Asian, Schengen and EU countries. The successful event finally came to an end with aching hands and parched throats, but it was spectacular.
