Life as a Member
At NKDSDC, we’re more than just a debate team—we’re a family. We train together through weekly meetings, practice rounds, and casing sessions, and we compete at local and national events, including prestigious tournaments in Dhaka and Rajshahi.
Our connection goes beyond debating. We have regular socials and an annual retreat for fun and team building. Members can also get involved in organizing tournaments, participating in demonstration debates, and traveling as judges. Joining NKDSDC means becoming part of a supportive and dynamic community dedicated to growth and success.
Life after Debate
Our alumni have thrived in diverse fields—business, public speaking, academia—thanks to the debate club. It enhances critical thinking, communication skills, and confidence, leading to significant personal and professional growth.
Executive Board
Join US
The NKDSDC conducts competitive tryouts at the start of each academic year. Previous debate experience is not required; we are looking for intellectual potential and a strong commitment to the team. Although many of our members have been award-winning debaters in high school, some of our most successful participants had no prior experience before joining.
