Admission applications for the schools start on November 12 – application fee is BDT 110.

 

For the new academic year, online admission applications for all government secondary schools and for metropolitan and district-level private schools will begin on November 12 and will continue until November 30.

With an application fee of BDT 110, students can apply for admission to these schools. After the application process, a central lottery will be conducted on December 12 at the International Mother Language Institute to assign students to schools.

Private schools at the upazila level may directly admit students through a lottery with approval from the local admissions committee. These schools, unlike metropolitan and district-level private schools, are not required to accept online applications.

On Sunday, the Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) published the central admission circular for government and private secondary schools.

The secretary of the Dhaka Metropolitan Admissions Committee and DSHE Deputy Director of Secondary Education, Mohammad Aziz Uddin, stated, “Applications for admission to all government and private schools, including newly nationalized ones, will be accepted from November 12, 11:00 AM to November 30, 5:00 PM."

He further added that the admission lottery would take place on December 12 at the International Mother Language Institute, with an application fee set at BDT 110.

Application process: Applicants can visit https://gsa.teletalk.com.bd to apply separately for government and private schools.

Applicants can select a maximum of five schools in order of preference. In the case of double-shift institutions, choosing both shifts will count as two separate choices.

For admission to grade one, students must be at least five years old by January 1, 2025, and no more than seven years old by December 31, 2025.

Seats will be reserved in government schools for children of teachers and staff, who will not need to apply online. In private schools, children of teachers, staff, and managing committee members will be eligible for admission if they meet the minimum criteria.
