Dhaka, Bangladesh – The Non-Government Teachers’ Registration and Certification Authority (NTRCA) will publish an updated National Merit List before starting the application process for the upcoming 6th Gono Biggopti (mass circular). This move is set to incorporate the thousands of candidates who recently passed the 18th teacher registration examination.
The final results of the 18th NTRCA examination were published on June 4, 2025, declaring 60,521 candidates successful. Following the result, successful candidates from the 18th batch are now able to download their e-certificates, paving their way for inclusion in the recruitment process.
In a recent statement on Wednesday, June 18, the acting chairman of the NTRCA, Mr. Muhammad Nure Alam Siddiqui, assured candidates that they need not worry about the national merit list. He confirmed that the government’s telecommunication partner, Teletalk, will handle the task of updating the merit list in due time.
“The national merit list will be updated before the application process for the 6th Gono Biggopti begins,” said Mr. Siddiqui. He also sought to reassure candidates about their job prospects. “As the number of candidates from the 17th registration was relatively low, the list will not see a drastic change. All who have passed the 18th registration will get opportunities for employment,” he stated.
This announcement comes as a relief to the newly certified teachers who were eagerly awaiting news on their inclusion in the next major recruitment drive for non-government educational institutions across Bangladesh. The 6th Gono Biggopti is expected to announce a large number of vacancies for positions in schools, colleges, and madrasas.
The process for the 18th teacher registration began with a circular issued on November 2, 2023. The written examinations were held on July 12 and 13, 2024, with 83,865 candidates initially passing. After the viva voce (oral examination), the final list of 60,521 successful candidates was published.
Candidates are advised to keep an eye on the official NTRCA and Teletalk websites for the publication of the updated NTRCA Merit List 2025 and the subsequent announcement of the 6th Gono Biggopti application schedule.
