Good morning Weblanders
I want to create a forum where students/admission seekers can read latest education news, ask questions, download pdfs, and practice CBT online.

Please, Which platform can I use?

You don't need WORDPRESS.

You need a forum software and all of them have a wack design and you need a designer to get it done for you, thus making your forum a professional one.

If you need my help, then budget $500.
Anyways, you don't need wordpress！

Xenforo is the best I've seen, you may consider checking it out. Here's the demo forums.digitalpoint.com

Well, it all depends on your budget. If you have $500 then follow that dude's advise. If not read on.

1. There are a lot of forum scripts you can use but it all depends on whether you want to DIY or Pay someone to DI4Y.

a. Simple Machine Forum As u can see, nairaland itself is built using SIMPLE MACHINE FORUM (that's the name of the script in case you want to know). If you like, you can use it is an open source.

b. WordPress (BuddyPress plugin): this will enable you to have a combination of website and forum. (If you don't have knowledge working with WordPress, you can simply Google out how to use WordPress to build website and you will be amazed)
If
c. Bbpress: This is also a great forum script. It is light weight.

d. punBB: that's another one.

è. phpBB. Website : http://www.phpbb.com.

f. MyBB. Website : http://www.mybboard.net. ...

g.. Vanilla Website : http://www.vanillaforums.org.

h. FluxBB. Website : http://www.fluxbb.org.

i. Phorum Website : http://www.phorum.org.

And more.

I will however recommend you start with the low budget ones (free and open source) and if you have the $500, you can channel it into something else (like getting a good hosting).

I hope this helps.
