Requirements
Bachelor, session 2025-2026
CUET ran its own admission test for 2025-2026. Applicants had to be Bangladeshi citizens who passed SSC or an equivalent in 2022 or 2023 with at least GPA 4.00, and HSC, Alim or an equivalent in 2025 with a combined GPA of at least 14.00 in mathematics, physics and chemistry and at least grade B in English. Biomedical Engineering applicants also need GPA 4.00 in biology.
Group A (engineering and Urban and Regional Planning) sits a 500-mark multiple choice test; Group B adds Architecture and a 200-mark freehand drawing test. A quarter of a question's marks is deducted for each wrong answer. The circular lists 920 seats across 12 departments, plus 11 reserved seats.
The application fee was BDT 1,200 for Group A and BDT 1,400 for Group B, excluding the gateway charge. Online applications ran from 15 to 31 December 2025.
Documents
SSC and HSC (or equivalent) certificates and mark sheets, submitted during the online application once admission opens. The exact document checklist is published with each cycle's circular, which was not yet available on cuet.ac.bd at the time of this research.
How to apply
- Watch cuet.ac.bd for the admission circular; as of 2026-09-07 the university states no test is currently scheduled.
- Apply online, historically through a combined portal shared with KUET and RUET, before the stated closing date, and pay the fee the circular names.
- Sit the written admission test.
- Check the merit list and complete enrolment if offered a seat.
English test waiver
CUET does not publish an IELTS or TOEFL threshold for its undergraduate admission test on the pages this research could reach. Entry is decided by HSC results in science and the university's own written admission test.
