According to the admission guidelines, a student can apply to a minimum of five and a maximum of 10 colleges or equivalent educational institutions. Applicants were allowed to change their preference order until 8pm on September 12 and 13.

Under the policy, students from the year in which SSC and equivalent examination results are published, as well as students from the previous two years, will be eligible to apply for Class XI admission. Students who passed examinations under foreign boards will be eligible to apply after obtaining equivalence certification through the Dhaka Education Board.

Students will have the option to change their academic group this year. Students who passed SSC from the science group can apply for science, humanities or business studies. Students from the humanities and business studies groups can apply to their own group as well as each other’s group.

Students from all groups can apply for Islamic Studies, Home Economics and Music. Students from the Technical and Madrasa Education Boards will also be eligible to apply to relevant groups under the general education boards, subject to the admission policy.

For admission, 93 percent of seats at each college will remain open to general students based on merit. Five percent of seats will be reserved for children of freedom fighters and martyred freedom fighters. Another two percent—one percent for children of employees of the Ministry of Education and one percent for children of employees of offices and agencies under the ministry—will be reserved at institutions in metropolitan areas, divisional headquarters and district headquarters.

If eligible candidates are not available under the quota, those seats will be filled from the merit list. The quota system will apply only to the 2026-27 academic year.

For students with the same GPA, merit ranking will be determined based on their total marks in the SSC and equivalent examinations. If science-group students have equal total marks, marks in General Mathematics, Higher Mathematics or Biology will be considered. If the tie remains, marks in English, Physics and Chemistry will be considered successively.

For humanities and business studies students with equal marks, English, Mathematics and Bangla marks will be considered successively.

Students of school-and-college institutions or their own institutions will receive priority for admission to their respective institutions if they meet the eligibility requirements.
