What Is M.O.I
The full meaning of MOI is the medium of instruction. A medium of instruction is a document that verifies the language used to teach a particular course or program. It is a type of language proficiency certificate.
That is, MOI is the certificate of the language in which you completed your previous course instruction or degree. That degree can be a bachelor's or a master's. 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 certificate. 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.
Why is a MOI certificate required?

The MOI certificate is usually required after completing an undergraduate degree when applying for a subsequent higher degree. Currently, a MOI certificate is required in the private job sector as well. Because those whose MOI is in English are more likely to study and work abroad,
