Understanding the Release Slip Process
This part is very important for 2nd phase applicants. There is no direct merit list for you. To get a place on the merit list, you must use the release slip system.
Here is how the release slip works:
- You must choose 3 colleges in order of your preference
- You must select your subject for each college choice
- The university will place you based on seat availability and your results
Choose your colleges carefully. Pick colleges where you really want to study. Also, check which subjects are available at each college before choosing.
Application Fee Breakdown
Let us understand the fee structure clearly.
- Total application fee: 1,000 Taka
- College portion: 200 Taka
- National University portion: 800 Taka
The college will collect the full 1,000 Taka from you. Then the college will deposit 800 Taka per student to the Sonali Bank account. This deposit must happen between 3 June and 9 June 2026.
You only need to pay 1,000 Taka. The rest is handled by the college.

Helpful Tips for a Successful Application
Here are some tips that can help every applicant.
Apply early. Do not wait until the last day. Online systems often get slow during peak hours. Many students try to apply at the same time.
Check your information twice. Mistakes in your form can cause big problems later. Read everything before clicking submit.
Keep all receipts safely. Save your payment receipt and printed forms in a folder. You may need them during admission.
Stay in contact with your college. Visit your college office to make sure they confirm your application before the deadline.
Talk to seniors. Students who already went through the process can give helpful advice. They know the small details.
Check the website daily. New notices and updates can come at any time. Stay informed.
