Dhaka University (DU) has relaxed admission requirements for several departments and institutes for the 2026-27 academic session, while keeping the undergraduate admission test schedule unchanged.

The decision was taken at an emergency meeting of the university's General Admission Committee on Monday (November 9), chaired by Vice-Chancellor Professor ABM Obaidul Islam.

The relaxation includes reduced subject-specific marks in admission tests and lower minimum HSC grade requirements for selected departments. However, the overall eligibility criteria for applications remain unchanged.

Online applications will open on November 11 at 12PM and continue until November 25 at 11:59PM. Students who applied for HSC result re-evaluation will also be eligible to apply.

Admission tests will begin with the IBA unit on December 5, followed by the Science unit on December 12, Arts, Law and Social Sciences on December 19, Fine Arts on December 22 and Business Studies on December 26.

The university said eligible students who passed the HSC and equivalent examinations published on October 31 can apply, while the existing examination schedule will remain in place despite broader discussions on rescheduling public university admission tests.
