KUET’s undergraduate admission test for 2026-27 is on 8 January 2027. With the combined test alongside CUET and RUET gone, this is KUET testing on its own again — and first of the three engineering universities.

KUET’s Academic Council decided at its 118th special meeting (25 August 2026): the test on 8 January 2027, fully MCQ, with centres in Khulna, Dhaka and Rajshahi. Eligibility, seats, fee and the mark split are not out, and the circular is pending on kuet.ac.bd (as of 31 October 2026). KUET now sets all of these itself, so assuming the old combined-test rules is not safe. Below: what is firm, and how to prepare until the circular lands.

KUET 2026-27 — dates

Rows marked "last cycle" are 2025-26 figures and may change in this year's circular. Last verified: 31 October 2026.

What KUET now decides for itself

Under the combined test the three universities shared one framework. Now KUET’s own circular will set the minimum GPA and subject-grade conditions, whether there is a preliminary shortlist, the mark split, and how many seats each department has. The paper’s format is already settled — fully MCQ, like neighbouring RUET’s.

The weeks before the circular

1. Finish the core chapters of maths, physics and chemistry — whatever the format, these three will be there.
2. The paper is fully MCQ, so build speed and accuracy; check negative marking and the mark split in the circular.
3. If you sit Khulna University’s unit A on 18 December, treat it as a rehearsal for KUET.
4. After 8 January come RUET (14 January) and CUET (23 January) — write down your mistakes after each test so they do not follow you.

One trip to Khulna, or two?

Khulna University tests on 17–18 December and KUET on 8 January — three weeks apart, so most candidates will make two trips to Khulna. And for anyone looking beyond KUET toward sea-related engineering, Bangladesh Maritime University’s naval architecture programme had 40 seats in 2025-26 — a small but specialised alternative.
