Khulna University (KU) has changed the dates of its admission tests for the first-year honours programmes of the 2026-27 academic session and published a revised schedule. The move comes amid a broader adjustment by universities following the government's decision to hold supplementary examinations for HSC candidates.
New Schedule and Context
According to a report by Bangladesh Pratidin, the university authorities have altered the previously announced admission test dates and issued a fresh timetable. While the report did not specify the new dates, the change is being viewed in light of the education ministry's recent announcement. The supplementary examinations for HSC and equivalent exams are scheduled to begin on December 1, with results expected by the end of December.Divergent Decisions by Other Universities
In the same context, different universities have taken varied approaches. Prothom Alo reported that the University of Rajshahi (RU) has decided to postpone its admission test schedule to allow students who pass the supplementary exams to participate. In contrast, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and the University of Dhaka have decided to maintain their previously announced schedules. As a result, students who pass the supplementary exams will not be eligible to sit for BUET's admission tests.Supplementary Exam Rules
The education ministry has decided to hold supplementary examinations for students who failed in up to two subjects in this year's HSC and equivalent examinations. Students who pass these exams will be eligible to take part in university admission processes, subject to each institution's individual policies.Further details regarding Khulna University's revised admission test schedule are expected to be available on the university's official website and through official notices.
