The four academic years of study for the degree of B.Sc. Engineering have been designated as 1st year class, 2nd year class and 3rd year class and 4th year class in succeeding higher levels of study. Students generally admit into the 1st year class. In special cases, students may be admitted into a higher year class on the recommendation of the appropriate Equivalence Committee and Department concerned.

The Academic Council for admission forms an Admission Committee in each academic session into 1st year B.Sc. Engineering class.

A candidate for admission into the 1st year class must have passed the H.S.C Examination at least in the Second Division from a Higher Secondary Education Board in Bangladesh (after 12 years of schooling) with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as his/her subjects of Examination in Higher Secondary level or examination recognized as equivalent to and must also fulfill all other requirements as may be prescribed by the Admission Committee.

All candidates for admission into the courses of B.Sc. Engineering must be citizens of Bangladesh unless the candidature is against the seats that are reserved for foreign students. Candidates for all seats except the reserved ones, if any, are selected on the basis of merit. The Academic Council on the recommendation of the Admission Committee frames the rules for admission into the reserved seats.

No student ordinarily be admitted in the 1st year class after the corresponding classes start or after the call goes out for admission into the next session, whichever is earlier.

Admission of a newly admitted student in the 1st year class is canceled if for first two consecutive weeks after the start of class he/she remains absent without prior permission. Newly admitted students should be notified at least four weeks before commencement of the classes. If any student fails to report due to unavoidable circumstances within the stipulated first two weeks time, he/she may appeal within the next four weeks to the academic council. The council’s decision will be final.

An Equivalence Committee consisting of at least five members is formed by the Academic Council to consider the equivalence of different public examinations.

A candidate seeking admission on transfer from other Institute or university should apply to the Registrar of the University. The Registrar will refer the case to the Head of the Department concerned and also to the Equivalence Committee. On receiving the opinions of the Head of the Department and of the Equivalence Committee, the matter will be placed before the Vice-Chancellor. The Vice-Chancellor’s decision will be communicated to the Head of the Department and the candidate.

There is no transfer in the 1st year class.

Every student being admitted to the University shall be examined by a competent medical officer as may be provided in the admission rules.
