Dhaka Central University: Seat Availability for 2024-25 Admission

The admission process for the 2024-25 academic year at the proposed Dhaka Central University, encompassing seven government colleges in Dhaka, began today, August 3, and will continue until August 10. According to a circular signed by the university’s interim administrator, Professor AKM Elius, admissions will be conducted for the Arts and Social Sciences, Science, and Business Studies units under the existing academic framework. The circular also detailed the number of available seats across the seven colleges.

Dhaka College has 681 seats, Eden Mohila College 785, Government Titumir College 765, Government Bangla College 674, Begum Badrunnesa Government Girls’ College 593, Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College 465, and Kabi Nazrul Government College 529. The total seat count across these colleges is approximately 4,492 for undergraduate programs.

Applications must be submitted online at the website from 12:00 PM on August 3 to 11:59 PM on August 10, 2025. The application fee is set at Tk 800, payable through state-owned banks (Sonali, Janata, Agrani, or Rupali) or mobile financial services. Students who passed SSC or equivalent exams between 2019 and 2022 and HSC or equivalent exams in 2023 or 2024 are eligible to apply. Those who previously applied under Dhaka University’s affiliation with these seven colleges do not need to reapply, and application fees can be refunded upon withdrawal.

Admission tests are scheduled as follows: Arts and Social Sciences on August 22, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM; Science on August 23, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM; and Business Studies on August 23, 2025, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. Admit cards can be downloaded starting August 17, and seat plans will be published from August 20.

The seven colleges—Dhaka College, Eden Mohila College, Begum Badrunnesa Government Girls’ College, Government Bangla College, Government Titumir College, Kabi Nazrul Government College, and Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College—were affiliated with Dhaka University from February 17, 2017, until January 2025, following student protests over administrative inefficiencies. The interim government approved the formation of Dhaka Central University in March 2025, with the admission process authorized on July 9, 2025. The university will operate under a hybrid model, with 60% of classes in-person and 40% online, and one college principal will serve as interim administrator.
