Submissions

The Varsity Press welcomes guest columns, features, and other articles related to Gono Bishwabidyalay.

Word Limits

  • Guest columns: around 500 words
  • Feature: up to 700 words

Please send all submissions to submissions@thevarsitypress.net.

Guest Columns

Guest columns may be submitted by members of the Gono Bishwabidyalay community, including students, alumni, faculty, staff, administrators, and parents of GB students.

A strong guest column should present a clear argument supported by reliable evidence. All submissions are reviewed by the editorial team, and publication decisions are made at the editors’ discretion.

We do not publish content that:

  • Contains discriminatory or hateful views
  • Comes from individuals or organizations known for discriminatory behavior
  • Makes unsupported claims
  • Unfairly targets individuals
  • Relies mainly on speculation rather than evidence

Accepted articles may require revisions. Editors from the opinion section, the copy desk, or the Editor-in-Chief may suggest changes before publication. Authors will be consulted regarding major edits and are expected to work with editors during the revision process.

Additional Information

All submissions must be original and unpublished.

When submitting, please include:

  • Your full name
  • Any relevant affiliation with Gono Bishwabidyalay or other organizations
  • A mobile phone number for contact purposes

Anonymous submissions are generally not accepted. If you believe anonymity is necessary, please contact editor@thevarsitypress.net and explain your situation.

If you are considering writing a guest column or letter to the editor, you are welcome to contact the Editor-in-Chief or Managing Editor before submitting. They can help you refine your topic before submission.
