RUSC — Rajshahi University Science Club

Making science the talk of the campus.

Rajshahi University Science Club is the only student organisation on campus built entirely around science — monthly discussions, school outreach, and a national Fiesta that now reaches thousands of students a year.

Our story

Built to give science a permanent home on campus

Rajshahi University Science Club started its journey on 17th January 2015, with one goal: to spread the popularity of science across the Rajshahi region at a time when science and technology increasingly define how the world moves forward.

What began as a small student initiative is now, by most accounts, the only organisation on RU's campus working with science as its sole focus — running events almost every month of the year rather than around a single annual date.

"Each of our events is educational and makes students interested in science — that's what makes RUSC different."

What we do

Science, in a rhythm students can keep up with

Rather than one flagship moment a year, RUSC keeps science visible on campus month by month — then scales it up nationally once a year.

01 — Monthly

Biggan Adda

An open, informal science chat held every month, where members and guests dig into a contemporary topic in science — no lecture hall formality required.

02 — Outreach

School & college visits

RUSC members travel to schools and colleges to run live science shows, bringing hands-on curiosity to students before they ever reach university.

03 — Annual

National Science Fiesta

Olympiads, project shows, poster presentations and programming contests — the club's largest event, open to schools, colleges and universities nationwide.

Flagship event

The National Science Fiesta

Held with the National Science and Technology Museum, the Fiesta has grown from a campus event into one of the country's larger student science gatherings — Olympiads, project shows, poster and painting competitions, wall magazines, and a programming contest run with RU's CSE department.
