How to Apply
From the online form to college confirmation
The Degree preliminary application is completed online at the National University admission website and finalised at your chosen college. Follow the steps below in order.
Made a mistake? Go to Applicant Login, enter your Application ID/Roll and PIN, open Form Cancel / Photo Change Option and click Click to Generate the Security Key. An OTP is sent to the mobile number on your form. Enter the OTP to cancel the form and fill it in again with the correct photo and information. You get only one cancellation, and no cancellation is possible once the college has confirmed the form.
Open the official admission website
Go to www.nu.ac.bd/admissions, open the Degree Pass tab and click Apply Now (Degree Pass).
Enter your examination details
Type your roll number, registration number, board/university, passing year and one active personal mobile number. National University uses this number for all future SMS notifications, so use your own or your guardian's number.
Check the auto-filled information
Your name and gender are pulled from the board database. If the gender shows incorrectly, use the Click to Change option and correct it — a male applicant applying to a women's college will have the application cancelled.
Select college and subject preference
Choose division and district, then select a college. You will see the eligible subjects and the number of seats. Set your subject preference order very carefully — seats are allocated by merit following this exact order.
Select your quota (if applicable)
Freedom fighter's child, small ethnic group, differently-abled and ward (children of NU teachers/officers/staff) quotas must be selected on the form. Original certificates from the proper authority are required. Quota seats are additional to the general seats.
Upload your photograph
Scan a recent passport-size colour photo. Size must be 120×150 pixels, type JPG and maximum 50 KB. Uploading anybody else's photo cancels the admission and registration.
Submit and print the form
Click Submit Application. Your Application ID / Roll and PIN will be shown. Download the form and print it on A4 (8.5″×11″) offset paper.
Sign and submit at your college with the fee
Sign the printed form with the date and submit it to the college along with the application fee (mobile banking or cash, as the college directs) within the deadline.
Wait for the college confirmation SMS
The college confirms your form online. You will receive a confirmation SMS. If no SMS arrives, your form is not confirmed — contact the college immediately, because unconfirmed applications are not considered.
Payment Instruction
Official fee rates approved by National University
Pay the application fee only at your chosen college, using the mobile banking channel announced by the college or in cash at the college office. Always collect a receipt. National University does not collect this fee directly from applicants.

Frequently Asked Questions
NU Degree Admission 2026
Is there an admission test for NU Degree (Pass) admission?
No. There is no admission test. A course-wise merit list is prepared separately for each college from the GPA you obtained in the SSC and HSC examinations.
How is the Degree merit list calculated?
Directly from your SSC and HSC GPA. If two applicants tie, the order is decided by 40% of SSC GPA plus 60% of HSC GPA (with the 4th subject), then by 40% of SSC marks plus 60% of HSC marks, and finally by age — the younger candidate ranks higher.
How do I apply for NU Degree admission?
Fill the online preliminary application form on www.nu.ac.bd/admissions, print it, and submit the signed form with the application fee of Tk 1,000 to your chosen college within the deadline. The college then confirms your form online.
How can I check my Degree admission result by SMS?
Type nu<space>atdg<space>roll no and send it to 16222 from any mobile operator in Bangladesh. Standard SMS charges apply.
What is the registration fee?
The National University portion of the registration fee is Tk 1,130 per student. Colleges collect their own additional charges separately, so the total amount you pay at the college will be higher.
I did not get a confirmation SMS after submitting my form. What should I do?
No SMS means the college has not confirmed your application online. Contact the college office before the confirmation deadline. Unconfirmed applications are excluded from the merit list.
Can I apply to more than one college?
No. In the preliminary application you apply to one college only. Multiple colleges can be chosen at the release slip stage.
What happens if I am admitted to two programmes at the same time?
Double admission is prohibited. If a student is admitted twice — in the same session or in two different sessions — both admissions and both registrations are cancelled.
