These "gate romances" are a sub-genre of Bangladeshi urban folklore. They revolve around the exchange of Chum (a specific brand of chewing gum) or folded notes hidden inside geometry boxes, creating a romantic ecosystem that exists independently of the internet. The literary world of Bangladesh has not ignored the romantic potential of VNC. Several bestselling novels have used the school as the primary setting.

Stories abound of boys waiting for hours near the Bailey Road gate, hoping to catch a glimpse of their beloved. However, the narrative twist often comes from the guardians. In romantic comedies and nostalgic short stories, the "Pishi" becomes an unwilling ally. Storylines often feature a flustered boyfriend trying to pass a love letter through a strict female guard who pretends to be stern but secretly sympathizes with the young lovers.

A recurring plot involves two students: a rebel from a "regular" college and a topper from VNC. The storyline usually climaxes during the school's annual cultural week (Rabindra Jayanti or Bijoy Dibosh), where poetry recitation replaces direct confessions. The tragedy, however, is often social. The VNC girl is expected to marry a doctor or an engineer from a "good family," leaving the poor artist or the politically active student heartbroken. No discussion of Bangladeshi Viqarunnisa Noon relationships is complete without mentioning the "Axis of Love" between Notre Dame College (NDC) and VNC.
