National University Masters Admission - Eligibility and Process
National University Masters admission eligibility depends on your prior qualification: Degree (Pass Course) graduates generally apply for the Masters Preliminary track, while Honours graduates generally apply directly for the one-year Masters Final track. Apply only through the official portal at nu.ac.bd/admissions; this page does not state a specific 2026 application window or fee since those figures could not be independently verified from a mainstream or official source at the time of writing.

Which Masters track applies to you?
This mirrors the same split covered on the National University Masters Result page:
- Masters Preliminary - typically for students who entered National University after a Degree (Pass Course), completed before moving to the Final year.
- Masters Final - typically for Honours graduates, entering directly into a one-year Masters programme without a Preliminary year.
If you're not sure which track applies to you, check your Degree or Honours certificate and ask your college's exam section before applying, since selecting the wrong track can cause application issues.
Eligibility
Masters admission eligibility generally depends on your CGPA/result from your prior qualification (Degree or Honours) and your subject, with specific criteria set in each session's official circular. As with Honours and Degree admission, these criteria can change between sessions - always check the current circular rather than assuming.

A note on 2026 dates and fees
Search results for "national university masters admission 2026" carry specific application windows and fees, but during research for this page, those specific figures could only be traced to aggregator sites, not to mainstream news coverage or an official NU document independently confirmed here - unlike the Honours 2025-26 admission facts covered on National University Admission 2026, which are backed by mainstream reporting. Because of that gap, this page does not repeat a specific Masters admission date or fee as fact. Check nu.ac.bd/admissions directly for the current, confirmed status.
