DUCSU General Secretary S M Farhad urged students who earned GPA-5 in SSC, Dakhil and equivalent examinations not to regard the result as life’s ultimate achievement. Speaking as chief guest at a reception for high-achieving students in Anwara, Chattogram, on Thursday at 9am, he said the result marks the beginning of preparation for higher education and future-building.

Farhad said many GPA-5 holders may not secure their desired opportunities in university admission competition, while students without GPA-5 can establish strong positions through hard work. Citing Dhaka University admissions, he noted that although many students achieve GPA-5 each year, available university seats are limited.

He described the two years after SSC as highly important, urging students to target strong intermediate results while preparing for higher education. He advised limiting time spent on mobile phones, social media and unnecessary activities, and stressed planned study, deep focus and regular effort. The Anwara Upazila Chhatra Shibir event also honoured GPA-5 recipients from SSC, Dakhil and equivalent examinations.
