The Top Ten

  1. Notre Dame College

    Notre Dame College, established in 1949, is located in Motijheel, Dhaka. It is one of the most prestigious higher secondary institutions in Bangladesh, known for its academic excellence in science, arts, and commerce programs.

    No doubt, Notre Dame College is one of the finest in Bangladesh. Unlike other colleges, it takes competitive exams for selection. This is the only college that does so.

    It also represents the characteristics of our renowned University of Dhaka. I'm proud to be a Notre Damian.

    Notre Dame College is undoubtedly number 1. Its position may differ according to the HSC results, but it's not this result that counts, rather the future it's making for our country. The system of determining the position is based on the number of students, which is unfair to most colleges.

    It's number 1 by its merits, style, and everything else. Every person who knows about NDC shares the exact same view, and I can guarantee it. I'm a proud student of Notre Dame College.

  2. Dhaka Commerce College

    Dhaka Commerce College, founded in 1989, is a private college situated in Mirpur, Dhaka. It specializes exclusively in commerce education and offers HSC and bachelor's programs in commerce-related subjects.

    Dhaka Commerce College is the best for Commerce students, producing good results in the field of commerce. It admits only students with a GPA of 5 or Golden A+. Despite admitting a high number of GPA 5 students, other popular colleges often have a lower number of GPA 5s in the HSC results each year.

    However, Dhaka Commerce College is different. Although it admits fewer GPA 5 students, it produces more GPA 5s than the admitted number in the HSC results. This is why our Dhaka Commerce College is called the factory of GPA 5. I feel proud to be a student of Dhaka Commerce College.
