We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Department of Criminology and Police Science for taking several remarkable and research-oriented initiatives that will undoubtedly inspire students to engage more actively in academic research.

Following the application submitted by the Fourth Batch students, the department, through the sincere cooperation and thoughtful consideration of the respected faculty members, has reduced the CGPA requirement for thesis enrollment from 3.50 to 3.25. This decision reflects the department’s commitment to creating a more inclusive and research-friendly academic environment where more students can participate in scholarly work and develop their research potential.

Furthermore, in response to another application from the Fourth Batch, thesis supervision has now been opened to all faculty members of the department. As a result, students will have greater opportunities to pursue their research interests enthusiastically and work under supervisors aligned with their academic focus.

Another highly commendable initiative is the introduction of thesis proposal presentations before all faculty members of the department for the first time. This platform is proving to be extremely beneficial for students, as it allows us to receive constructive feedback, identify research gaps, improve methodological aspects, and gain valuable guidance on how to strengthen the quality of our research. Such academic interactions are directly contributing to the enhancement of our research skills and scholarly understanding.

These progressive and student-friendly decisions will undoubtedly encourage students to become more research-oriented and increase their participation in research-based academic and professional fields in the future. We sincerely believe that such initiatives will strengthen the research culture within the department and create a more academically vibrant environment for upcoming scholars.

Finally, we extend our deepest respect and sincere appreciation to all the respected teachers of the department for their dedication, support, and continuous efforts to promote research among students.

Thank you for believing in the potential of your students and for building a pathway where curiosity transforms into knowledge and research transforms into impact.

From campus chaos to coastal wave — CPS Tour 2026 was truly one for the books. 🌊✨

A perfect 2 days, 1 night getaway filled with laughter, friendship, adventure, and unforgettable memories. We stayed at Camp in Cox, enjoyed delicious meals, relaxed at the private beach, and spent the afternoon playing football by the sea. The evening came alive with games, raffle draws, and a cultural night full of songs, fun, and memories. 🎶⚽🎉

Day 2 took us on an adventure ride by chander gari to Kakra Beach and Shamuk Beach. We enjoyed local seafood at Sea King Restaurant before visiting Zero Point. On the way back, we stopped at Shamlapur Beach and Sugandha Beach for photos, sea breeze, and one last moment with the waves. Shopping at Burmese Market made the trip even more complete. 🏖️📸🛍️

With tired bodies but full hearts, we returned to campus carrying countless memories, stronger bonds, and stories we’ll cherish forever.
It's not just a trip, but an experience. 💌

Heartfelt thanks to our respected teachers for joining us and making even more special with their presence, support, and cheerful participation. 🩵
