Reporting time for O level exam was 9: 40 am and exam time was 10: 00 am but unfortunately exam started at 12: 10 pm. This kind of punctuality was not expecting from British Council Authority.

British Council Bangladesh is an organization that supports peace and prosperity by building connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and countries worldwide. They offer exams and English learning courses as well. Your health and safety are their top priority during this pandemic.

And British council is located at the middle of fuller road.

British Council Bangladesh is the Bangladeshi branch of the British Council that provides English and British Education and takes part in cultural exchanges. The main office is located in Dhaka and branches are located in Chittagong,  Sylhet.  Tom Miscioscia is the Director of British Council Bangladesh.

The British Council was founded in 1934 in London.  It opened its first branch in Dhaka in 1951 when Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan.  On 25 March 1971, at the start of Bangladesh Liberation War, the council office was attacked by Pakistan army, killing 8 East Pakistan Police officers guarding the office.  In 2013, the British Council signed a memorandum of understanding with Microsoft Bangladesh to enhance teaching and learning practices. On 16 January 2016, the British Council launched 'Innovate, Incubate and Grow (IIG) : A Social Enterprise Support Programme' in collaboration with non-profit organisation Change Maker to promote entrepreneurship.

Following the July 2016 Dhaka attack, the British Council temporarily closed its offices to assess security measurement.  In 2017 the council built a monument to the police officers killed on the premises in 1971.

The British Council is a UK-based specialized educational and cultural organization that conducts worldwide educational and cultural activities, including in the UK. It was established as a registered charity in England, Wales and Scotland with a royal charter. In 1934, the British Council was established by Sir Reginald Lipper, a British committee engaged in relations with other countries. Leiper was of the opinion that matters relating to the interests of the British, cultural propaganda, etc, should be dealt with through the British Council. The institution was recognized by the royal charter of 6th King George in 1940. Its sponsoring office is increasingly operating independently, connecting both the global and Commonwealth offices of the United Kingdom.

I want to Register, but it had been three days.and no one ever picks up the call, how are the students suppose to Register. If they cannot pick up the call why don't they just close themselves down without lying that they are open. That just so unfair and unprofessional.

A very charming place it is! Everyone can avail library membership at 3000 tk annually. If someone become e member, he can access its library and can access their reading room facility. There's a mini restaurant there named 'kiva haan' which is quite good. Try out their cappuccino. If you're interested to do IELTS, must visit this place.

British Council Bangladesh is the Bangladeshi branch of the British Council that provides English and British Education and takes part in cultural exchanges. The main office is located in Dhaka Tom Miscioscia is the Director of British Council Bangladesh. I have done 2 courses in British Council and I must say I enjoyed it a lot. The teachers are very polite. Probably the best teacher I have ever had. There teacher style is fabulous. There security, service and the toilet are very clean. It has also a awesome library (which is closed now due to coronavirus) There is no way that I can complane. The only little complane that a have is about the fees. It's quite expensive. So overall I personally love this place a lot.
