Kushtia representative: Islami University (EB) will conduct the first-year admission test for the bachelor’s (honors) program for the academic year 2022–23 individually. The university has also published the admission notification for this purpose. The University is not conducting admission tests in the first-year batch system of bachelor’s (honors) degrees for the academic year 2022–23. Interested students can apply for admission from May 10 to May 27.
In this regard, the admission notification was published on Thursday, April 13. It is said that the admission test will be held in the second week of June. The detailed schedule of the admission test will be announced through the university website and notification. Students can participate in the admission test in these four units: A, B, C, and D.
The notification also said that an admission test worth 80 marks will be held in MCQ format in each unit. 25 decimal points will be deducted for each wrong answer.
Meanwhile, this time batch admission is the same as before, and next year there will be a single admission exam. After the decision of the University Grants Commission (UGC), the Ministry of Education has issued a notification saying that the public universities that conducted the admission test on a batch basis in the past will conduct the admission process in the same way in the upcoming academic year. UGC has been given responsibility in this regard. This was done as per the wishes of the president and chancellor of the universities yesterday, April 15, the notification said. It is also said that, from next year (2023–24 academic year), the University Grants Commission has been given the responsibility of bringing all public universities under the single admission test.
In the academic year 2019–20, the first batch-based admission test is conducted. Seven universities majoring in agriculture and agricultural education participated in it. In this system, students do not have to take separate exams at each university. Through an examination, the student can get admission to the clustered university according to his merit and choice.
Later, similarly, 3 engineering universities and 22 general and science and technology universities conducted the admission test for the cluster system. This year, although the admission test will be conducted as per the existing rules, the initial decision has been made to conduct a ‘single’ admission test for all the universities in the country starting next year. On the other hand, Dhaka, Jahangirnagar, Chittagong, and Rajshahi Universities and the Bangladesh University of Engineering (BUET) admit students through separate examinations.
