BUP Admission Test 2025-26
The BUP Admission Test is a very important step. All students applying for Bachelor’s programs must take this test. The test is a written exam with Multiple-Choice Questions (MCQ). It checks your basic knowledge for the subject you want to study. The test is held only in Dhaka city. If you live outside Dhaka, you need to plan your travel.
All tests are MCQ type. There is negative marking. For every wrong answer, 0.25 marks will be cut. (Note: This may differ from previous years, so always read the exam instructions). So, be careful when you guess an answer. It is better to answer only what you know.
Each faculty has its own admission test. The total marks vary. The questions cover subjects like English, Math, General Knowledge, and Bangla. To prepare well, practice with old question papers. Also, practice managing your time. The test is one hour long. Remember, calculators are not allowed in most tests. Only the Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) allows them. Check your admit card for the list of approved calculators.
Here is the new official schedule for the written tests.
