Public University Admission Tests to Be Held After February 1

Vice-chancellors of public universities have decided to postpone admission tests for the 2026-27 academic year, with all examinations to be held after February 1, 2027. The decision was taken at a meeting of public university vice-chancellors at the University Grants Commission (UGC) office on Monday (November 9), convened to discuss admission tests for the academic year.

A vice-chancellor who attended the meeting confirmed the decision to The Daily Campus. He said, “Admission tests at all universities will be held after February 1. The admission application process will begin after January 1, 2027.”

The meeting was chaired by UGC Chairman Professor Dr Mamun Ahmed. Vice-chancellors of various public universities and other relevant officials attended.

Speaking after the meeting, the UGC chairman said all Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) results would be available by December 31. University admission processes would begin after that date, and universities that have already started their admission activities would adjust their schedules in line with the decision.

He said, “This means we are creating an opportunity for supplementary examinees. The decision has been taken to ensure that all candidates, including those who participate in this process, have the opportunity to sit for admission tests.”
