Admission and Registration Procedures

Prospective students should collect/obtain admission forms from Registrar’s office on payment of a predetermined fee. The students should return the completed application form to the registrar’s office within the stipulated time. All correspondences and inquiries concerning admission should be addressed to this office.

Students’ proficiency in the English Language (structure, vocabulary, comprehension and composition) and basic mathematics is tested. Those who want to study Computer Science and Engineering are required to have competence in HSC level mathematics. Others are required to have reasonable proficiency in SSC level mathematics.








Admission Requirements

Minimum qualification for admission to undergraduate programs is as follows:

1.At least second division in SSC and HSC examinations or GPA 2.5, or

2.University of London GCE ‘O’ level in five subjects with at least 10 points and “A” level in two subjects with at least “C” grade or equivalent, or

Students who have completed a two-year Bachelor’s degree from a recognized university can apply for admission to a four year undergraduate program. However, BU will consider applications for credit transfer only in cases where previous academic performance meets BU degree requirements.

Credit Transfer
Transfer applications are considered for admission based on the result of the admission test and work completed in all public and private universities of Bangladesh. Credit is generally transferable, provided that course work has been successfully completed and is equivalent to that offered at Bangladesh University.

Faculty members evaluate courses already completed according to an established procedure. Courses taken at other institutions may satisfy the core curriculum requirements only if the courses are equivalent to BU courses approved for the core curriculum and obtaining grade C or higher grades. Course equivalencies are determined on the basis of contents, pre-requisites, writing requirements, and level. Some transfer students may be required to sit for placement tests to determine eligibility for obtaining credit as transferred.

Registration

Before the beginning of a semester (Spring/Summer/Fall), students have to register for courses, in consultation with Heads of Departments and the University Program Coordinator. The students have to select the appropriate courses, pay the required amount of fees, and register for them.

Students may pre-register for the appropriate courses at any time during an academic year.
