CSE10 began during quarantine as a lightweight tool for our Batch-10 to check the next day’s class routine without getting pulled into social media. It grew into a department-wide app after encouragement from our respected Zulfiker Mahmud sir. The goal is straightforward: a minimal, reliable companion for class schedules, announcements, and a shared book archive.

Posts with Images

-
Book Archive (Community E-Library)
