About
I have done BA in English from the English Department of Jagannath University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. This institution, located in the old part of the city Dhaka, has helped me hone my critical thinking, professional experiences, communication skills, research skills, etc. This public university of Bangladesh, which is a great guide for our independence from Pakistan and critiques Bangalee nationalism and patriotism , has a rich tradition of culture, heritage and historicity, enriching my inquisitive, curious and creative mind extremely. I have achieved 3.56 out of 4 ; it turns 3.70 according to the WES evaluation of US GPA standard . My bachelor's degree focused on eight semesters ; I did not get any academic thesis at my BA level as our syllabus did not mention the necessity of pursuing an undergraduate thesis. But I personally wrote a critical research article titled "A Marxist Reading of Kafka's The Metamorphosis. " While in the MA level, I had the opportunity to pursue a thesis on William Shakespeare : My MA thesis topic is "Nietzschean, Marxist and Psychoanalytic Thoughts in William Shakespeare’s Othello. "
I have till now written six critical research articles. Critical writing gives me delight and stimulation. A leading English daily of my country, New Nation, published a feature article on my scholastic achievements on 13 December 2019.
I was born on 24 November 1997 in Kurigram, a district in the northern part of Bangladesh. I had outstanding academic results and performances at my school and college levels : In Bangladesh, we follow the British standard of school and college education. We call level 1 to 10 secondary school level ( school education) and level 10 to 12 higher secondary level ( college level) . I passed SSC in 2012 and HSC in 2014.
I have got admission letters from 20 U.S. universities : the first admission letter was given to me from the Illinois based Eastern Illinois University.
I have done MA in English Literature and Cultural Studies from the Department of English, Jagannath University, Dhaka, Bangladesh. I have got 3.64 out of 4 ; it turns 3.83 according to the WES evaluation of US GPA standard . My academic background marks meritoriousness and lore.
