The University of Chittagong (CU) has extended the application period for its first-year undergraduate (honours) admission tests for the 2026–27 academic year, with online applications set to open on 20 December and continue until 10 January.
The university is also preparing to allow students who sit for the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) supplementary examinations to apply for the admission tests before their results are published. However, the previously announced examination schedule will remain unchanged.
The decision to extend the application period was taken at a meeting of the admission test committee yesterday (11 November), said Professor Dr Mohammad Al-Amin, the university’s pro-vice-chancellor (academic).
SM Akbar Hossain, deputy registrar of the university’s academic section, said, “The application period for the admission tests has been extended. Applications will open on 20 December, and 10 January has been set as the deadline. However, the examination dates will remain unchanged.”
He added, “Students who sit for the HSC supplementary examinations will be able to apply before their results are published if they wish. The application process is being arranged accordingly.”
Syed Akhtaruzzaman, president of the Bangladesh Inter-Education Board Coordination Committee, has informed the media that the results of the HSC supplementary examinations may be published on 31 December.
Allowing students to apply before the results are announced will enable supplementary examinees to participate in the university’s admission process.
Under the earlier schedule, applications for the 2026–27 academic year’s admission tests were supposed to run from 15 November to 10 December.
According to the tentative schedule, the C Unit admission test will be held on 29 January, the A Unit test on 30 January, the B Unit test on 5 February, and the D Unit test on 6 February.
The B1 sub-unit examination is scheduled for 3 February, the B2 sub-unit examination for 4 February, and the D1 sub-unit examination for 8 February.
According to the university’s notice, admission tests for the A, B, C and D units will be held on the campuses of the University of Chittagong, University of Dhaka and University of Rajshahi on the same dates and at the same times.
However, the B1, B2 and D1 sub-unit examinations will be held only on the University of Chittagong campus.
Meanwhile, the university has yet to make a final decision on whether to relax the eligibility requirements for admission test applications.
