Rajshahi University (RU) has announced a revised schedule for its admission tests for the 2026-27 academic year. The decision was made to provide opportunities for students who passed the HSC supplementary examinations to pursue higher education. According to the new schedule, the admission tests will commence on February 12 and continue until February 20.

Special Arrangement for Supplementary Examinees

University authorities have stated that students will be able to apply within seven days after the publication of the supplementary examination results. Applicants within this timeframe will be eligible to participate in the admission tests. This initiative aims to ensure that students who passed the supplementary examinations are not deprived of mainstream higher education opportunities.

Position of Other Universities

In contrast to this decision, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) and Dhaka University will conduct their admission tests according to their previously announced schedules. As a result, students who passed the supplementary examinations will not have the opportunity to sit for admission tests at these two institutions. Meanwhile, Jagannath University has decided to accept applications based on SSC results, introducing a variation in the admission process.

Impact on Admission Process

While RU's decision brings some changes to the admission test schedule, it is being viewed as a positive development for students. Particularly for those who passed the supplementary examinations, this opportunity is expected to open new horizons. However, coordination with other universities regarding the rescheduled timeline remains a point of consideration.
