BUET admission procedure


BUET is one of the most important educational institutions for higher studies in Bangladesh. Its admission procedure and influence-free admission system are also known to all. But recently, questions have aroused regarding the exam papers of the admission test and some of the procedures. The admission test questions of BUET are set following a particular type and this has been the practice for many years. I think it needs a change.

We know that the HSC level syllabus has undergone a major change. The emphasis on English, in this case, is probably the most noticeable and the reason behind it is very simple -- efficiency in English is a must in today's world. But the recent question papers of the BUET admission test have not focussed on this very much.

Now about the admission procedure. Previously, students had to go to some particular lab to get their medical reports (against payment, of course) and we never really understood the significance of such test. Recently, the news of paying 700 taka for medical check up has hampered the image of BUET. The latest cost of admission form has also worsened this crisis.
