Dhaka City College admission circular 2026-27 — where it stands
The figures below were published for the 2026-27 session itself — this is the only college on these pages whose current-cycle numbers we could verify. Even so, look at the college's own circular before applying, since a revised notice can follow.
The figures come from a Prothom Alo report dated 1 September 2026, which names the 2026-27 session and gives an application window of 2–10 September — matching this cycle’s published policy exactly. The commerce and humanities GPAs differ by shift, so a range is shown.
The report also notes that applicants should select Dhanmondi as the thana — which is usually where people go wrong when they cannot find the college.
About Dhaka City College
It teaches all three streams and runs more than one shift. Because the minimum GPA differs by shift, the choice here is not only of college but of shift — and two shifts of one college sit as two separate entries on a preference list.
Its Dhanmondi location makes it reachable from much of the city, and the density of coaching centres and libraries around it is high. Those conveniences matter more across two years than they seem at the outset.

Frequently asked questions
A report published for the 2026-27 session gives 4.00 in science (with higher mathematics), 3.25–3.50 in business studies and 3.00–3.25 in humanities, varying by shift. These are minimums to apply; admission itself follows the merit order, so meeting the minimum does not secure a seat.
No. Admission is through the central online application, decided by your SSC result and the order of your list. There is no separate written test to prepare for.
