Now every institution is using branding as its marketing tool to attract customers. Branding does not mean a logo or graphic element nowadays. Strong branding helps companies to get loyal customers. Effective branding creates trust, recognition, and popularity for companies among people. A university with a well-reputed brand has several advantages. It can easily attract students. The main objective of this paper is to determine how the branding of a private university influences student's choice of selection. For doing this, there are many relationships between branding and consumer decision making processes are mentioned.

Jalal Abdul Naser Bhuiyan Abstract Bangladesh is a moderate Muslim country. But it is highly influenced by the Indian society and culture. Different ruling parties tried to resist this Indian influence. Because of geographical nearness, they failed to do it. With the emergence of satellite television after 1992, this Indian influence or the so called Indianisation became overwhelming. This influx of Indian Hindu culture was a shock to some fundamental Muslim and also some Highbrow. Western TV Channels to some extent replaced the Indian influenced. Especially, the Highbrow and the Lowbrow with High Taste embraced this Western culture. For some conservative Muslim, it was like an eye opener.

Dr. S.M. Zabed Ahmed Supervisor Abstract There have been many research studies conducted on webometrics, especially on the impact of websites and the web impact factor. This current research analyzes the private university websites in Bangladesh according to some common webometrics indicators. It examines and explores 54 private university websites in Bangladesh and identifies the number of web pages and link pages, and calculates their Simple Web Impact Factor, Self-link Web Impact Factor and External link Web Impact Factor. The results indicate that some private universities have relatively high number of web pages, but correspondingly their link pages are low in number and the websites fall behind in their simple, self-link and external link web impact factors. It is also found that the external link web pages provide more than other link pages.

From the very beginning of human civilization people were tried to communicate each others to fulfill their social needs. Over the passes of time though the tools of communication were changed but still it is exist in the society. Currently cellular phone has brought a revolution in the field of communication. Telecommunication makes the whole world in a small village and by using this service life become more comfortable and easier. This sector plays a vital role in the economy of Bangladesh occupying the top positions among others. But recently this sector faces some crisis related to governmental SIM tax, corporate tax and also the competition in the market. For these reasons, last few years both governmental revenue as well as the growth rate of subscribers is decreasing. If the Government take necessary steps beside the privatization, the sector could move forward quickly, which will also help Government to generate the revenues and create job opportunity.Keeping all these issues in consideration, this paper discusses the present condition of the telecommunication sector of Bangladesh (which give special emphasis on the cellular phone) , what are the major challenges faces by the operators, and also tries to find out the prospects of this sector.
