MCJ Club Limited has launched its membership enrolment process, inviting eligible former students of Mass Communication and Journalism and related disciplines from recognised universities in Bangladesh to apply.

The club’s management committee said the application process would open at 12:00 noon on Wednesday.

Applicants can pay the prescribed fee into the club’s designated bank account and complete the application form available on its website, www.mcjclub.com.

Eligible applicants must be at least 27 years old and have studied Mass Communication and Journalism, Media Studies, Communication, Broadcast, Television or a related discipline at a recognised university in Bangladesh.

They must also meet the club’s prescribed membership requirements.

The standard membership fee is Tk 50,000. Including applicable government-mandated duties and other charges, the total payable amount is Tk 55,000.

Certain membership numbers will be available at additional premiums, according to the membership policy published on the club’s website and official Facebook page.

The club’s Board of Directors has decided to recognise the first 200 members as founding members.

Their names will be specially displayed at the club premises in recognition of their early association with the organisation.

MCJ Club Limited General Secretary Rakib Hasnat Suman said the initiative followed a long-standing need for a social club bringing together former students of Mass Communication and Journalism and related disciplines.

Club President Hasnain Khurshed said membership applications would be reviewed promptly and applicants would be informed of their membership numbers after verification.

He said the club had recently completed its registration with the Office of the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms (RJSC), marking the start of its operations as a registered organisation.
