I was very close to getting into a government medical college but unfortunately missed the opportunity. I then applied for a government-quota seat at a private medical college and ranked 1st on the merit list. Despite this, they asked me to pay BDT 12 lakh, even though the official fee was only around BDT 10,000. When I questioned them, they said the person responsible for selecting students was demanding the money and that other students were paying even more for the same seat
