  1. Hello,
    I’m from Bangladesh University of Professionals. I’m in first year and studying in International Relations.
    I’ve done some business competitions. I’ve recently made it to the boot-camp of Battle of Bangladesh by BAT.
    I just wanted to know if I am eligible for any idea competition.
