Jahangirnagar University Will Not Postpone Admission Tests

Jahangirnagar University (JU) has retained the previously announced schedule for the first-year undergraduate admission tests for the 2026-27 academic session, with the administration yet to make any new decision on the matter.

JU Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Education) Professor Dr Md Shamsul Alam confirmed the development on Tuesday (November 10).

“Our previously announced schedule and timetable remain in place, and we are trying to proceed with preparations accordingly. No new decision has been taken on the matter so far. If any new decision is made, it will be announced later,” he said.

He added that the vice-chancellor is currently abroad and that the issues may be discussed at a subsequent meeting of the Central Admission Committee. However, the university's regular activities and preparations must continue in the meantime, he said.

The university's Central Admission Test Management Committee set the schedule at its first meeting on October 28. Under the schedule, admission tests for the 2026-27 academic session are scheduled to be held from January 10 to January 21, 2027, on all days except Fridays and Saturdays.
