My Experience as a Student at Jagannath University

As a current student at Jagannath University (JnU), I’ve had a rewarding and eye-opening journey—one that has shaped both my academic and personal growth.

JnU is more than just a public university in the heart of Dhaka—it’s a place where students learn to be resilient, resourceful, and ready for real-world challenges. Despite the limitations in infrastructure and space, I’ve found that the commitment of the faculty and the passion of the students make this place truly special.

What stands out most to me is the innovation happening right here on campus. For example, in the Chemistry Department, Dr. Md. Aminul Haque and Dr. Mohammad Mostafizur Rahman are doing incredible work in synthesizing new compounds with potential antimicrobial properties. Their lab uses cutting-edge digital tools to predict how compounds behave before even creating them.

In the field of environmental science, I’ve been inspired by the work of Dr. Dilara Islam Sharif, who’s leading projects on isolating pollutant-degrading bacteria from the Buriganga River. It’s amazing to see how local research is addressing real environmental issues.

And on a broader scale, Dr. Md. Abdul Malak, who directs the Centre for Climate, Society & Environment, is using advanced tools like ArcGIS and Google Earth Engine to tackle climate adaptation and disaster risk management in Bangladesh.

Being part of this university has shown me that even with limited resources, excellence is possible when people are passionate about what they do. JnU has taught me not just academic theories, but how to think critically, manage time, adapt under pressure, and stay curious.

It’s not a perfect institution, but it’s a place full of potential—and I’m proud to be a part of it.
