DU Honours Result 2026 - Dhaka University 1st to 4th Year
Dhaka University does not publish Honours results through a central results portal. Every year of the programme - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th (Final) Year - is published separately by each department via the Office of the Controller of Examinations at du.ac.bd, usually as a PDF listing registration numbers and grades. Check du.ac.bd under Examination then Results, find your faculty and department, then your year's result notice - and check your department's own website and notice board, which are often updated first.
Quick facts
- Dhaka University publishes Honours results department by department rather than through a central portal, for all four years of the programme.
- The DU Honours CGPA is cumulative across all four years, so each year contributes to the final degree classification.
- DU departments publish results as PDF notices listing registration numbers and grades, via the Office of the Controller of Examinations.
If you're looking for a single page where Dhaka University posts Honours results, it doesn't exist - and that's the most useful thing to know before you start searching.
Direct answer
Dhaka University does not publish Honours results through a central results portal. Every year of the programme - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th (Final) Year - is published separately by each department, via the Office of the Controller of Examinations at du.ac.bd, usually as a PDF listing registration numbers and grades.
This is the single most common point of confusion for DU students, so it's worth stating plainly: there is no DU equivalent of educationboardresults.gov.bd.
How to check your DU Honours result - any year
- Go to du.ac.bd → Examination → Results.
- Find your Faculty → Department.
- Open the result notice for your year and session - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th/Final Year.
- Also check your department's own website and physical notice board. Many departments post there first, and some notify registered students directly by email.
Why DU has no central result portal
School-level results work differently, and the contrast is what trips students up:
| SSC / HSC | DU Honours | |
|---|---|---|
| Who publishes | All 11 education boards, together | Each department, independently |
| When | One announced date, nationwide | On the department's own schedule |
| Where | One government portal | A PDF notice per department |
| Lookup by | Roll + registration, via a form | Finding your registration number in a list |
Each DU department runs its academic calendar semi-independently - its own session progress, backlog exams, and improvement exams - so a single combined result release isn't published.
What each year means for your degree
Your Honours CGPA is a cumulative average across all four years. Every year moves your final classification; none of them is a practice run.
1st Year
Your first checkpoint. A weak 1st Year is generally recoverable through stronger later years, but you must pass every subject to progress - an F typically has to be cleared via an improvement or referred exam.
2nd Year
The midpoint. By now half your cumulative CGPA is set. Whether you can advance to 3rd Year carrying a pending subject, or must clear all 2nd Year subjects first, is a departmental rule - confirm your department's promotion policy rather than assuming a university-wide one.
3rd Year
Three of your four CGPA years are now fixed and your final classification is largely shaped. Final Year still carries real weight - some departments weight final-year subjects, including thesis or project work where applicable, more heavily. Confirm your department's weighting before projecting your final CGPA.
4th (Final) Year
The graduation result. Your final classification is based on the cumulative CGPA across all four years, not 4th Year alone. Standard university CGPA bands apply for first class and second class upper/lower, but exact cutoffs and department-specific variations should be confirmed with your own department - this page doesn't state a single university-wide threshold as fact.
If you fail a subject
You're typically allowed to sit an improvement or referred exam in a later cycle. The exact process, fee, and deadline vary by department - confirm with your department office rather than assuming a university-wide rule applies.
After your Final Year result
- Your department issues a provisional certificate, followed by the original certificate and transcript after the formal convocation process.
- Many students proceed to Masters - see DU Masters Result 2026, which is administratively separate from National University Masters.
- For job applications or study abroad, the transcript and provisional certificate are typically the first documents requested.
