Admission Process Overview
The first merit list for all three units, including department allocations, was published on May 8. Students on this list were directed to complete their admission formalities in person between May 12 and May 15, during office hours (9 am to 4 pm).
Registrar Professor Mohammad Anwar Hossain stated, “Based on the first merit list, 199 students in A Unit, 297 in B Unit, and 143 in C Unit have completed their admissions. The second merit list will be published in the next two to three days.”
This year marked a significant change as Comilla University conducted its own admission tests after a four-year break from the cluster (Guchchha) admission system. The admission tests for ‘A’ and ‘C’ units were held on April 19, with results published on the university website after midnight on April 22. The ‘B’ unit admission test took place on April 25, and its results were announced after midnight on April 27.
For this academic session, the merit list is being prepared based on a total of 120 marks. The admission test itself accounts for 100 marks, with the remaining 20 marks allocated based on candidates’ GPA scores from their SSC and HSC examinations. This year, Comilla University received 66,402 applications for its 1,030 seats across the three units, meaning approximately 64 students competed for each seat.
Prospective students are advised to keep an eye on the official Comilla University website for updates on the second merit list and further admission instructions.
