Prior to the international competition, ten regional festivals were held across the country from May 16 to 24 to form the national team.
Approximately 8,500 students participated in these regional events.
Winners of the regional rounds advanced to the national festival, which was held on May 31 and attended by 1,190 students.
The top performers were then invited to the National Residential BioCamp, from which the best four candidates were selected for the International Biology Olympiad.
The final selection round took place on June 19 at Daffodil International University.
The Bangladesh Biology Olympiad Committee organized the national-level program under the banner of the Bangladesh Biology Olympiad (BDBO).
The National Institute of Biotechnology and Daffodil International University provided training support, while Lab Bangla offered technical assistance.
Additionally, Kishor Alo served as the magazine partner, alongside the monthly science publication Biggan Chinta.
