DHAKA, July 30, 2025 (BSS) – The online application process for admission to class XI for the 2025–26 academic session began today. The first phase of applications will continue until August 11.

Students can apply only through the official website (https://www.xiclassadmission.gov.bd/), as no manual applications will be accepted. 

The application fee has been set at Taka 220. Candidates can select a minimum of five and a maximum of ten colleges of their choice. A candidate will be selected for one college from their chosen list based on merit, quota, and preference.

Students who passed the SSC examination from the science group can choose one of the three streams—science, humanities, or business studies—at the intermediate level. However, students from the humanities or business studies groups can choose only between those two streams.

No admission test will be held. Admission will be based solely on SSC and equivalent examination results.

In the first phase, online applications will be accepted until August 11. The results of the first phase will be published at 8 pm on August 20. After the second phase of applications ends, classes are scheduled to begin on September 15.
