What GPA does Rajshahi College require?

Published figures for the 2025-26 session give 5.00 in science and 4.50 each in humanities and business studies. These are the minimums to apply; with places limited, the effective cut-off naturally rises above them.

Why only 500 seats when the college is large?

The college also teaches at degree and postgraduate level, where numbers are far larger. Classes XI and XII are only one part of it, so the institution’s overall size is no guide to its Class XI intake.

Can I apply from another district?

You can — the central application sets no district or board limit. What needs planning is accommodation, since a large share of applicants come from outside the city. Residential provision is not guaranteed and, where it exists, is separately applied for.

What are the chances in humanities or business studies?

Each has 100 places — a small share of the total. A stated minimum of 4.50 can look approachable, but where few seats attract many applicants the effective cut-off climbs well above it. Keeping alternatives on your list matters especially here.

Rajshahi 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 report dated 3 August 2025 setting out this college’s admission notice. This cycle’s figures will appear in the college’s own circular.

One number deserves attention on its own: the total intake is just 500, while applications reach this college from across north Bengal. Eight districts sit under the Rajshahi board, and a large share of their strongest results look towards this single name.

About Rajshahi College

The split is worth noting: of 500 places, 300 are in science and 100 each in humanities and business studies. Outside science the places are genuinely few, and although their stated minimum is 4.50, the real contest is naturally much sharper than that.

A decision to apply here usually carries a decision about accommodation with it, since a large share of applicants come from districts outside the city. That is worth settling in advance — after selection there is very little time to arrange it.
