The passing candidates are categorized based on their Higher Secondary backgrounds, highlighting that students from the Science stream continue to perform significantly well in the Arts and Social Science unit.

How to Access the Result

The university authorities have facilitated two primary channels for candidates to check their merit positions:

1. Online Portal: Candidates can log in with their credentials at the official link: admission.eis.du.ac.bd.

Background: The Decentralized Exam Strategy

This year’s admission test was held on December 13, 2025. To alleviate the physical and financial burden on students, the exams were conducted not only on the DU campus but also in seven other divisional cities across the country, including Rajshahi University, Chittagong University, and Shahjalal University of Science and Technology.

The university administration is expected to release the schedule for the 'Subject Choice Form' (SIF) shortly, where qualified candidates will list their preferred departments based on their merit rank.
