AAUB Defers Admission Test Following UGC Request
- AAUB postpones 2026-27 undergraduate admission test to January 30 following UGC recommendation
- Extension accommodates HSC re-evaluation candidates and supplementary examinees
- Tests to be conducted simultaneously across Dhaka and Lalmonirhat centers
Responding to recommendations issued by the University Grants Commission (UGC), the Aviation and Aerospace University, Bangladesh (AAUB) has rescheduled its undergraduate admission examination for the 2026–27 academic session by nearly two months. Originally slated for 5 December, the entrance test will now take place on 30 January, according to an official circular issued by the university on Monday afternoon, 9 November 2026.
The university administration stated that the timeline was extended to safeguard academic equity for applicants awaiting HSC and equivalent re-evaluation outcomes as well as candidates appearing for supplementary assessments. The examination will be hosted concurrently at two designated venues: BAF Shaheen College in Dhaka and the university's permanent campus in Lalmonirhat.
Earlier on Monday noon, the UGC convened a consultative meeting with Vice-Chancellors of public universities, chaired by UGC Chairman Professor Dr. Mamun Ahmed. The Commission urged university leadership to defer admission schedules, recommending that application intake commence in January with tests rolling out in February to accommodate re-evaluated candidates. AAUB became the first specialized public institution to formally revise its intake roadmap following the UGC directives.
According to the official admission bulletin, the university is offering four-year Bachelor of Science degrees across four specialized aviation disciplines: BSc in Aerospace Engineering, BSc in Avionics Engineering, BSc in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Aerospace), and BSc in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering (Avionics).
