Procedures for student admission to the eleventh grade at all government and private colleges will begin on May 18 and classes will start on Jul 1.

The decision was made at a meeting on eleventh grade admission guidelines at the Secretariat on Tuesday with Education Minister Nurul Islam Nahid in the chair. The principals of colleges were present.

Like several previous years, this year too students will be admitted on the basis of grades obtained in Secondary School Certificate (SSC) or equivalent exams.

The minister said admission applications would have to be sent through SMS from any number of Teletalk between May 18 and Jun 6. However, applications can also be filed in traditional methods, he added.

Price of each application form has been set at Tk 120.

Aspirants whose grades will change after a revision of results can submit their admission applications until Jun 10, Nahid said. A list of selected candidates for admission will be published on Jun 16.

Jubilant students of Ideal School and College celebrate their success as most of them have secured GPA-5 in the SSC exam, the result of which was published on Thursday.

Admission fees can be paid until Jun 30 without late fees. A list of students admitted without late fees as well as their registration fees will have to be submitted to the respective boards by Jul 15.

But, for those admitted with late fees, relevant charges (including late fees) can be paid until Jul 11. Their list and registration fees have to be submitted within Jul 22.

Practical classes will begin on Sep 5. A list of students changing sections or subjects can be sent to respective boards by Sep 12 along with demand drafts (DD) of charges for the changes.

The admission guidelines say if a student wants to switch institutions with the payment of late fees, they will have to apply to the college with a permission letter from the guardian.

In such cases, the college where the student first got admitted will return 50 percent of the admission fees.

The students who passed SSC or equivalent exams from 10 boards or Bangladesh Open University during the years from 2011 to 2013 will be eligible for the eleventh grade.

Science students can apply for admission to any section. Those from humanities section can apply for admission to business administration apart from the same section. Business students can apply for business and humanities section.

Ninety percent seats at the colleges in divisional and district towns will remain open to all based on their SSC test results.

Of the remaining 10 percent, three percent will be reserved for those outside the divisional or district towns, five percent for students from the families of freedom fighters and two percent for children of staff of the education ministry and respective colleges.

For enrolment in the science discipline, grade points for mathematics, higher mathematics or biology will be considered to select students from among those obtaining the same GPA. For humanities and business administration, grade points for English, mathematics and Bengali will be considered for selection.

Students passing SSC from one institution will have preference in college-level admission to the institution.
