As a result we are re-launching this scheme to support our IELTS candidates to achieve their dreams for a foreign education,” said Deep Adhikari, director examinations Bangladesh.
Five top scorers among the applicants, who are to attend undergraduate or postgraduate programmes at foreign educational institutions that accept IELTS, will be awarded a scholarship of TK3 lakh each.
