NU Admission Merit List: How It Is Prepared
Your NU Honours Admission Merit List depends on both your admission test score and your academic GPA from SSC and HSC. The total merit score is out of 200 marks: 100 from the admission test and 100 from your SSC/equivalent and HSC/equivalent results.
You must score at least 35% in the admission test for your merit score to be considered. If you pass, your academic results are weighted: 40% from SSC GPA and 60% from HSC GPA (excluding the 4th subject). Each college creates separate subject-based merit lists based on your preferences and performance. When candidates have the same merit score, the tiebreaker process is:
- Higher admission test marks.
- Higher combined GPA (40% SSC + 60% HSC, excluding 4th subject).
- Higher combined marks (including 4th subject).
- Earlier date of birth or a lower roll number.
Usually, there are two merit lists, a quota merit list, and two release slips. Release slips give more chances if seats remain vacant. Migration options and rescrutiny processes help fill all available seats. Both regular honours programs and professional courses use this system.
NU Admission Confirmation
If your name appears on any National University merit list, you must confirm your admission within the announced time frame. If you do not confirm your seat by completing the required steps, your allocated seat will be cancelled. To confirm your admission, follow these steps:
- Fill out the online admission form on the NU admission portal.
- Pay the admission fee as instructed to finalize your seat allocation.
- Submit all required documents to your allocated college.
You can activate the auto migration option during the final admission process. If you enable auto migration, you will be considered for admission to your higher-ranked college choices if seats become available. If you do not appear in the 1st merit list, wait for the 2nd merit list and later lists. If you score at least 35% in the admission test but are not selected, you can apply for a release slip for other opportunities. Always follow the given time-frames to secure your place.

The NU Admission Result 2025 for the Honours 2nd Merit List is now available. You can check your result on the official portal at www.nu.ac.bd/admissions or receive quick notifications by SMS. If you applied, check your admission status as soon as possible.
