Requirements

Bachelor (honours) and BBA, session 2025-2026

Jagannath University runs its own admission test and is not part of the GST cluster. Candidates who passed SSC or an equivalent examination in 2022 or 2023 and HSC or an equivalent examination in 2025 could apply. The minimum combined SSC and HSC GPA was 7.50 for Unit A (science, life and earth sciences) with no result below 3.25; 6.50 for Units B (arts and law), C (business studies) and D (social science) with no result below 3.00; and 6.00 for Unit E (fine arts) with no result below 2.50. Some departments also set minimum HSC subject grades.

The merit score is out of 100: 72 marks from a multiple choice test, 10 from the SSC GPA and 18 from the HSC GPA, with 0.25 marks deducted for each wrong answer. Unit E adds a drawing test.

The application fee was BDT 1,000 for Units A to D and BDT 1,200 for Unit E, plus a 1 percent service charge. Applications ran from 20 November to 5 December 2025.
