Admissions

Undergraduate admission test in BUET is one of the intensive written examination in Bangladesh as it only offers a limited number of seats in each academic year. After completion of higher secondary level (HSC) education, a student can submit his application for undergraduate admission if s/he fulfills the minimum requirements. Students with certain percentages in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and English of their higher secondary examination are allowed to take the admission test. The screening process allows 6000 students to sit for the admission test from a pool of approximately 40,000[citation needed] applicants. After the admission test, only about 885 students get admitted to this prestigious institution. This rigorous screening ensures the quality of students enrolled every year. However, for admission to M.S. and Ph. D. programs candidates are required to appear in interviews and/or written tests.

There are 26 seats for foreign students in undergraduate level. The pre requisite qualification for admission is H.S.C. or GCE A level or its equivalent with good grades in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Tuition and other fees per year is US$1000 (one thousand US dollar) and approximate cost for food, lodging etc. is US$100 per month. Maximum 10 students from a single country are allowed for admission.
