⚠️ Important Warning for Students Already Admitted in 2024-2025
This part is very important. Please read carefully:
If you were admitted to any course in the previous 2024-2025 academic session, you must cancel that admission first. The deadline to cancel your previous admission is 09 June 2026.
If you do not cancel your old admission, the university will treat it as double admission. In that case, your new 2025-2026 Honours admission and registration will be strictly cancelled. Do not skip this step!
Tips for a Smooth Admission Process
A little planning makes everything easier. Here are some friendly tips:
- Keep documents ready: Have your SSC and HSC certificates, mark sheets, photos, and Application ID safely stored in one folder.
- Check spelling carefully: Make sure your name and your parents’ names match your certificates exactly.
- Save your Application ID and PIN: You will need them multiple times during the process.
- Don’t wait for the last day: Bank queues and website traffic can be very heavy right before deadlines.
- Ask for help if needed: Talk to your college admission office, a senior student, or a family member.
What If You Are Not on the 2nd Merit List?
If your name is not on the 2nd merit list, do not lose hope! The National University usually publishes quota merit lists and a release slip option later. Keep checking the official website for updates. Many students successfully secure a seat in the next rounds.
Final Words
The NU Admission Result 2026 is a big moment for many young people across Bangladesh. Whether you got your top choice or not, remember that this is just the beginning of your university journey. Stay calm, follow each step on time, and ask for help when you need it.
