In the context of Bangladesh, it can be said a little more simply that the certificate of the previous degrees you studied and participated in in the medium of Bengali or English is the medium of instruction. For example, if you have done your bachelor's studies in Bengali, then your medium of instruction is Bangla, and if you have done it in English, then your medium of instruction will be English.
