IBA and Equivalent Qualifications
To avoid any hassle, IBA applicants are advised to check the present IBA admission guideline on the official portal before paying. Please note that the GPA requirements for other units may not be the same for IBA.
Students who have obtained O-Level or A-Level or other equivalent qualifications should refer to the instructions for the equivalences given to the university. A separate equivalence application notice is provided in the admission portal.
Important Update on Departmental Requirements
In its 9 November announcement, Dhaka University stated that some departmental admission conditions had been relaxed while the minimum application eligibility remained unchanged.
Therefore, meeting a unit’s GPA threshold does not automatically establish eligibility for every department within that unit. Read the latest unit guideline before deciding which programmes to pursue.
The university also stated that students who had applied for HSC result re-scrutiny could apply, subject to the stated eligibility conditions. The application deadline remained unchanged.
