Admission at a glance
KUET's own website, kuet.ac.bd, confirms undergraduate admission is active for the 2025-2026 session, with a dedicated portal at admission.kuet.ac.bd and a recent notice referring to a fifth call for the 2025-2026 undergraduate admission test, indicating a multi phase merit list process rather than a single release of results. KUET's own pages also carry a distinct and unusually specific process for foreign nationals: a page titled International Students sits at kuet.ac.bd/program/internationalstudent, and a linked apply procedure page states plainly that a student must not apply directly to the university, and instead uses a prescribed application form, available from the Bangladeshi embassy or high commission in the applicant's own country, submitted to that country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which forwards it to the Bangladesh Ministry of Foreign Affairs for government approval before it reaches KUET's Registrar. This is a genuinely different route from the direct online application Bangladeshi applicants use, and was read directly from KUET's own site rather than inferred.
The specific 2025-26 application dates, test dates and fee amounts sit on admission.kuet.ac.bd, which this research pass did not attempt to fetch directly after the main kuet.ac.bd site already gave the session status; the international student apply procedure page did not state fees, deadlines or an English test requirement either. Search results describing a specific KUET circular publication date and a minimum SSC GPA trace to third party admission sites, not to kuet.ac.bd, so those specific figures are not used here.
A further fetch of kuet.ac.bd from a server inside Bangladesh on 2026-09-07 reloaded the homepage and reconfirms the 2025-2026 session is active, with the fifth call notice for undergraduate admission dated precisely 2 June 2026 on the site's own notice list. The same page confirms the university's founding history: established in 1967 as Khulna Engineering College under the University of Rajshahi, development paused during the Liberation War, and academic activities restarted on 3 June 1974. The homepage's own International Students nav link was present but this fetch did not open its content separately in this pass; the fuller international admission route described above (the embassy-to-embassy government channel, with direct application not permitted) was confirmed by directly reading kuet.ac.bd/program/internationalstudent and kuet.ac.bd/program/isapplyprocedure in the earlier pass, and that finding stands unchanged.

Requirements
Bachelor (Bangladeshi applicants)
Pass HSC or an equivalent qualification with a science background at the grades that year's circular states, then apply online through admission.kuet.ac.bd and sit KUET's own written admission test.
Bachelor (foreign applicants)
KUET's own international student guidance states a foreign applicant must not apply directly to the university. Instead, use the prescribed application form available from the Bangladesh embassy or high commission in your own country, submit it to your own country's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and let that ministry forward it to Bangladesh's Ministry of Foreign Affairs for approval before it reaches KUET's Registrar.
