With over <strong>7,000 seats</strong> across five units (Ka, Kha, Ga, Gha, and Cha), this year’s admission process promises to be highly competitive. If you’re an HSC graduate aiming for DU, this guide covers all the critical details—<strong>eligibility, application process, seat plan, exam centers, and deadlines</strong>—to help you secure your spot.</p>\n\n<p>As other top universities like <strong>BUET, KUET, RUET, CUET, and medical colleges</strong> have already published their results (e.g., BUET’s 2025-26 session results released in January), DU’s admission timeline is now the focus for thousands of students. Here’s what you need to know to stay ahead.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h2>Key Dates and Deadlines for DU Admission 2024-25</h2>\n\n<p>The <strong>Dhaka University admission test</strong> for the 2024-25 session will follow a strict schedule. Missing a deadline could cost you a year—so mark these dates in your calendar:</p>\n\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Online Application Starts:</strong> <strong>June 10, 2026</strong> (10:00 AM)</li>\n <li><strong>Application Deadline:</strong> <strong>June 30, 2026</strong> (11:59 PM)</li>\n <li><strong>Admit Card Download:</strong> <strong>July 15–25, 2026</strong> (via DU admission portal)</li>\n <li><strong>Admission Tests:</strong>\n <ul>\n <li><strong>Ka Unit (Science):</strong> August 1, 2026</li>\n <li><strong>Kha Unit (Humanities):</strong> August 2, 2026</li>\n <li><strong>Ga Unit (Business Studies):</strong> August 3, 2026</li>\n <li><strong>Gha Unit (Fine Arts):</strong> August 8, 2026 (practical exam)</li>\n <li><strong>Cha Unit (Social Sciences):</strong> August 9, 2026</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li><strong>Result Publication:</strong> Within <strong>2 weeks</strong> of the last exam (expected by August 23, 2026)</li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> Set reminders for the application deadline and admit card download period. DU does <strong>not</strong> accept late applications under any circumstances.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h2>Eligibility Criteria: Who Can Apply?</h2>\n\n<p>DU has set specific <strong>GPA requirements</strong> for each unit. Unlike some universities (e.g., <strong>Jahangirnagar University (JnU)</strong> or <strong>Rajshahi University (RU)</strong>), DU does not offer "GPA relaxation" for tribal or freedom fighter quotas—so check your eligibility carefully.</p>\n\n<h3>Minimum GPA Requirements (HSC + SSC Combined)</h3>\n\n<ul>\n <li><strong>Ka Unit (Science):</strong>\n <ul>\n <li>SSC GPA: <strong>4.00</strong> (out of 5.00)</li>\n <li>HSC GPA: <strong>4.00</strong> (combined GPA: <strong>8.00</strong>)</li>\n <li>Must have <strong>Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics/Biology</strong> in HSC</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li><strong>Kha Unit (Humanities):</strong>\n <ul>\n <li>SSC GPA: <strong>3.50</strong></li>\n <li>HSC GPA: <strong>3.50</strong> (combined GPA: <strong>7.00</strong>)</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li><strong>Ga Unit (Business Studies):</strong>\n <ul>\n <li>SSC GPA: <strong>3.50</strong></li>\n <li>HSC GPA: <strong>3.50</strong> (combined GPA: <strong>7.50</strong>)</li>\n <li>Must have <strong>Accounting/Business Studies/Economics</strong> in HSC</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li><strong>Cha Unit (Social Sciences):</strong>\n <ul>\n <li>SSC GPA: <strong>3.50</strong></li>\n <li>HSC GPA: <strong>3.50</strong> (combined GPA: <strong>7.00</strong>)</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n <li><strong>Gha Unit (Fine Arts):</strong>\n <ul>\n <li>SSC GPA: <strong>3.00</strong></li>\n <li>HSC GPA: <strong>3.00</strong> (combined GPA: <strong>6.50</strong>)</li>\n <li>Must pass a <strong>practical exam</strong> (drawing, design, etc.)</li>\n </ul>\n </li>\n</ul>\n\n<p><strong>Important Note:</strong> DU follows a <strong>negative marking system</strong> (-0.25 for each wrong answer). Unlike <strong>National University (NU)</strong> admissions (which rely solely on GPA), DU’s MCQ-based tests require strategic preparation.</p>\n\n<hr>\n\n<h2>Seat Plan and Unit-Wise Breakdown</h2>\n\n<p>DU offers <strong>7,250 seats</strong> across its five units for the 2024-25 session.
