The admission test for the first-year undergraduate programme under Dhaka University's 'Business Studies Unit' for the 2025-26 academic year has been held.
The exam took place on Saturday (6 December) from 11:00 am to 12:30 pm. This year, a total of 34,062 applicants sat for the test against 1,050 available seats.
Dhaka University Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Niaz Ahmad Khan visited the examination centre during the test.
Pro-Vice Chancellor (Administration) Prof Dr Saima Haque Bidisha, Pro-Vice Chancellor (Education) Prof Dr Mamun Ahmed, Treasurer Prof Dr M Jahangir Alam Chowdhury, Dean of the Business Studies Faculty Prof Dr Mahmud Osman Imam, and Proctor Prof Saifuddin Ahmad were also present.
Apart from the DU campus, the admission test was held in four universities located in divisional cities outside Dhaka-Chittagong University, Rajshahi University, Khulna University, and Begum Rokeya University in Rangpur.
After inspecting the exam centres, the Vice-Chancellor said, "The exam has been conducted in a very fair, peaceful, and disciplined environment. Nearly 33 candidates are competing for each seat, which has made this an extremely competitive test."
He urged parents not to put unnecessary mental pressure on their children regarding admission results. "Getting admitted is not the only measure of success. Every student has their own abilities, and those capabilities should be supported and allowed to flourish," he added.
Of the 1,050 seats, 930 are reserved for Business Studies students, 95 for Science students, and 25 for Humanities students. A total of 5,148 Science applicants, 5,892 Humanities applicants, and 23,022 Business Studies applicants applied to sit for the exam.
