particularly Eton College. The house system was designed to resemble Eton's. After the independence of Bangladesh, a board of governors was appointed with the Education Secretary as its Chairman. " not in the source "DRMC was established as a fully residential educational institution with five dormitories, but because of a significant increase in the number of students over the last two decades, the school also offers a non-resident option for students. Built in 1960, Qudrat-i-Khuda House was the first dormitory for students in grades 3–7. Another dormitory named Ayub House was built in 1961, capable of accommodating around 200 students of the same grades" not in the ref afterwards
604:"DRMC publishes a magazine annually, Shandipan, containing school related news, poems, articles, stories, science fiction, jokes and other items of imterest, written by the students, teachers and staff. The magazine reflects the creativity of the college, and provides an opportunity for students to express their thoughts. " Are they allowed to criticise the school then?? If so, the school saying the students are free is not indept 607:" won championships in 4th International World Youth Mathematics Intercity competition, National Math Olympiad 2008 and Math Olympiad 2009 hosted by Bangladesh University of Business and Technology" The 4th IWYMIC winning thing isn't in the source, and the 2008 NMO isn't either. Can we have indept RS for claims of success etc?? Most/all schools and unis lie on their CVs, unfortunately 610:"Dhaka Residential Model College is noted for its academic performance and extracurricular activities, having produced many notable alumni including leaders in business, the military and state and national politics as well as senior government officers, scientists and engineers.[6" source only says it is "coveted" and doesn't say anything about influential people 483:"The school was the only one in Bangladesh under the direct control of the Ministry of Education, and it continues to enjoy this special status as of 2010" - could this be reworded to: "Since it's creation, the school has been the only one in Bangladesh under the direct control of the Ministry of Education"? 626:
In short the article has lots of unsourced stuff, or nominally sourced stuff linking to bogus cites. Many claims of great achievement link to sources that say no such thing, or to school sources. This article gives the perception of a puff piece, especially as all of the wrong/dubious information are

Campus section: ref4 is to Ayub Khan and doesn't fit any of the two lines before it. 37 only covers the infirmary and not the other claims about the football field etc. "The school has its own water-pump for the water supply of the college.[37" ref is actually about the hospital. So the first half of

History. "DRMC was originally established by the Ayub Khan, the first military leader of Pakistan, to provide education for army officers in East Pakistan. The school, and later the college, were modeled after public schools in the United Kingdom (according to the British Public Schools Act 1868),
613:"The institution was awarded 'Best College' in the 5th National Debate Festival 2010, the largest debate contest in the country organized by the National Debate Federation Bangladesh" - nonsense the source says that it was won by another school; this is in the lead 236: 186:

601:"Dhaka Residential Model College's results from 2005 to 2009 for the Secondary School Certificate level examinations are as follows:" misleading. Those are its ranking in Dhaka, not all of Bangladesh as implied by no conditions being attached 117: 673:, ...", which presumably refers to this one, and to multiply winners. Imagine the offline and other-language sourcing just as bad. As pointed out, sourcing is extremely shoddy, and the article should be stripped of its GA status. 237:

I would like to know about this matter in details. The college's website has been used as source. But why it shouldn't appear under External Links. Please let me instead, know what should appear?
489:"The Government of Bangladesh recognized the school for its strong performance in the Higher Secondary Certificate examination in 2008" - The source seems to indicate that it is specifically the 88: 83: 92: 75: 554:
Exam stats table. None of the sources give teh % pass rate of 99%+. Only the number of GPA-5s are given. What is the source for the claim of near perfect success???

Is the DRMC Preospectus actually in English or Bengali. I opened it but it shows stuff in the English alphabet but meaninglessly. It is not tagged bn atm
518:
Why are extracurricular activities like quizbowl given so much coverage? Are they really that important? Similar concerns about the alumni association.

Start of academics. POV claim about great discipline and large library not in ref. r16 only covers the last sentence not the other stats before it
548:
the para only has one sentence actually reffed, the others have window-dressing refs that don't work. SEcond half is Bengali, so I can't check it
330:
Format consistency is necessary, e.g. in ref 39 you have "Srijon (2002), p. 40" while 62 reads Hossain, M (2002). "DRMC wins BTV quiz contest".
30: 17: 79: 138: 486:"DRMC is one of the most competitive schools in the country" - the source for this does not actually comment on DRMC's competitiveness. 410:
Banglapedia, written and edited by experts in concerned arenas, is the national encyclopedia of Bangladesh. Please read the article

Admission: The sources only say that there is an exam and that supply < demand, not all the rest as well
703: 662: 637: 586: 502:"a four-storied house named Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah" - is that the dorm's name, or is it named after him? 435: 377: 521:
If alumni are notable, they should be linked to their own articles, even if they are red links. I think.
496:"Dhaka was the capital and the largest city of East Pakistan" - is this necessary background information? 627:
positive claims and make the article more incorrectly POV, and there is nothing negative in the article
490: 459: 255: 188: 157: 653:. In addition, the claim that "DRMC is one of the most competitive schools in the country" goes to 529: 524:"Many senior government officials and public representative of Bangladesh are Remians" - unsourced 666: 369:
The college's website is used as a sources, and should not therefore appear under External links.
