Chittagong College admission circular 2026-27 — where it stands
The seats and GPAs below are from the 2025-26 session — the source is a Prothom Alo district report dated 30 July 2025 that set out seat counts for Chattogram’s colleges together. This cycle’s figures will appear in the college’s own circular.
⚠️ That report gives this college’s science and humanities seats but not business studies — and the two do add up to the published total. It does not follow that the stream is absent; only that the report did not carry it. Check the college’s own circular to be sure.
About Chittagong College
Five districts of Chattogram division sit under this board, and strong results travel in from the three hill districts and Cox’s Bazar as well. Competition here is therefore not confined to city residents — and for anyone arriving from outside, the question of where to live is one to settle early.
There is one significant difference from Dhaka’s top colleges: Chattogram’s main government colleges admit through the central online application, with no separate written test. So the question of preparation here is not about an exam but about ordering your list.
The Chawkbazar area is itself an advantage. As the city’s old educational quarter it has a density of bookshops, libraries and coaching centres, with several other large colleges nearby. Across two years that density shapes study habits, particularly for someone who has come from another district and is living alone.

How to apply to Chittagong College
Admission to Chittagong College runs through the central online system — there is no separate entrance test. One application on xiclassadmission.gov.bd carries your chosen colleges in preference order, and selection is made on your SSC result and that order.
So the only way to improve your odds here is to order your choices well: put the college you most want first, and keep something near the bottom of the list where your GPA makes a place close to certain.
- Go to xiclassadmission.gov.bd and register with your SSC roll, board and passing year.
- Add this college to your choice list — shift and group count as separate entries.
- Pay the application fee through mobile banking and submit.
- After the result, confirm your selection within the window — miss it and the selection is cancelled.

Frequently asked questions
In 2025-26 science asked for 5.00 and humanities for 4.00. What is worth noticing is the gap between them — a full point, wider than at most colleges. The science door here is narrow; the humanities one comparatively open.
The report our seat figures come from lists science and humanities but not business studies. So we state neither yes nor no here — the college’s own admission circular lists its streams, and that is where to confirm. This is worth spelling out because absence from one newspaper round-up is weak evidence about anything: a district report summarises, it does not enumerate. Treating an omission as a fact is how wrong information spreads.
The city has a government commerce college devoted to business studies, and Govt. Hazi Muhammad Mohsin College carries a large business section too. The city list page sets the options out together.
Students arriving from other districts usually stay with relatives, in a mess or in a hostel. Where the college has residential provision the places are limited and separately applied for — it does not follow automatically from admission. So ask at admission time rather than later.
No. Chattogram’s main government colleges admit through the central online application, decided by your SSC result and preference order. That is a significant difference from Dhaka, where several top colleges run their own tests.
