Conclusion:

We are sad and sad. So many famous public universities of our country where lakhs of students struggle for admission every year, they are not even in the top 1000 in the list of top universities in the world.

Why can't any engineering university in our country build Zuckerberg? Why is Newton not coming?

The University is not a local school, maintaining international standards is the responsibility of all authorities involved.

We don't just need BCS cadre or bank officers from the best public universities of the country.

We want our graduates to be in demand in the international market. They should do something for the country, the world and truly the people.

We dream of the day when the top 10 universities in Bangladesh will also be among the top 200 in the world rankings.
