Will DP judge me from another point of view as a university student?

As a university student, D.P might expect more maturity and excellence from you compared to a college student.

Will ISSB take it negatively if I don’t have any communication with female friends? What do they expect from a candidate?

Powered by Froala Editor

ISSB will not take it negatively as long as you yourself do not regret the situation that you are in. They expect people who are straightforward in decision making and are confident with what they do and how they make their way in their own respective circumstances.

What if I have seen so many hardships in early age, lost so many things in life, how will he judge me?

Powered by Froala Editor

All the D.P wants to know is how you are now. He wants someone who despite all the hardships in life has made a good and responsible person out of himself.

What kinds of situational questions may he ask?

Situational questions may be in various forms. Some examples can be as the following:

1. What would you do if I gave you 1 lakh tk right now.

2. Suppose you are walking by a river and you notice someone struggling in water, how would you respond?

3. Suppose you are somewhere outside and you check your pockets to find out you lost your phone/wallet, what do you do now.

Should I feel proud if he insults me, saying, "What did you do in your whole life, could not even make a girlfriend?" How should my response be?

A sample response to said question may be, “Sir, I believe if I actually tried enough, I could go into a relationship. But as things are now, it will not be possible for me to provide the required time and effort towards a relationship since I am focusing mainly on my studies and my career at the moment. “

If you’re religious you may also reply that you avoid relationships because they are forbidden in your religion.

How should I interact with DP, should I also greet him on my welcoming as he does?

Check whether the door says ‘Push’ or ‘Pull’. If there is nothing written then knock on the door and wait for permission. Before entering, give Salam and ask if you may go in. Once you’re inside, stand straight beside the chair and when provided permission, sit down without making any sound. Your footsteps must also make minimal sound or no sound if possible.


He may welcome you by saying Hello Amzad. I hope you are having a great time at ISSB. Your reply should be“Yes sir I’m enjoying being here with my beloved team members, hope you’re also having a great time.”

Afterwards continue the conversation in a sober manner. It is very important to note that you must maintain proper eye contact at all times.

What if I gave you 50 thousand tk?

Powered by Froala Editor

 Sir, I would look for opportunities to invest this money into and save it for future purposes. 

Try to be honest and confident about your answer. Actually explain how you would use the money.

How should my genuine response be with him?

Powered by Froala Editor

Your responses, at all times should be as honest as you can be with said responses. There is no wrong answer so speak with honesty and confidence and show the D.P that you are straightforward with your decisions and you do not falter under pressure.

Should I share our family planning or long-term vision or too much seriousness about her?

Powered by Froala Editor

It is good to not go into too much depth about such information. You may however share that you are really serious about this person, you think he/she is the one and you wish to marry him/her one day in sha Allah.
