Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology has confirmed the undergraduate admission test date for the 2025–26 academic year, with the exam scheduled for January twenty-three. For the first time, the test will be conducted at two centres, RUET and BUET, using the same question paper. The decision was finalised during the one hundred fifty-fourth emergency Academic Council meeting, chaired by Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr SM Abdur Razzak.
RUET–BUET Joint Centre Decision for Admission 2025
The university has introduced an additional centre at the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) to ease travel and reduce crowding for applicants. The upcoming exam will follow the MCQ format, and the institution expects around nineteen thousand candidates to compete for more than one thousand two hundred seats across various undergraduate programmes. Officials noted that the move aims to improve accessibility while maintaining strict administrative and academic standards across both centres.
Eligibility Criteria for RUET Admission 2025–26
Before listing the eligibility requirements, it is important to understand that RUET follows a uniform evaluation framework for all applicants, including those from national boards and international curricula. The criteria focus on consistent academic performance in Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry, which are essential for engineering studies.
