Not covered yet
We could not confirm dates for BUET, the medical colleges (MBBS), GST universities or Chittagong University. We will add them once the circulars are out.
Before you apply
- Apply only through the university's own site. Many look-alike "admission circular" pages copy the dates and add paid services.
- Note the application fee deadline separately from the application deadline.
- Check your GPA requirement for the unit. Some units set a minimum for both SSC and HSC.
- Keep a screenshot of the submission page and the payment receipt.
Dates can move. If a university changes its schedule, its own notice is the one that counts.
