National University Release Slip Result - What It Means
A National University release slip is an additional admission application option for candidates who weren't selected in the standard merit list rounds (1st and 2nd), letting them apply for any seats still remaining across colleges and subjects. It's checked and applied for at nu.ac.bd/admissions, and is generally the last standard option in a given session's admission cycle.

Direct answer
A National University release slip is an additional application option for candidates not selected in the standard merit list rounds, letting them apply for any seats still open across colleges and subjects. It's applied for and checked at nu.ac.bd/admissions, generally as the last standard step in that session's admission process.
Who it's for
If you applied for National University admission but weren't selected in the 1st merit list or 2nd merit list, a release slip is typically the next available option, provided that session offers one and you still meet the general eligibility criteria.
How the release slip process generally works
- National University identifies seats that remain unfilled after the standard merit list rounds and confirmation deadlines.
- Eligible unselected applicants can apply for those specific remaining seats through the release slip option at nu.ac.bd/admissions, during that session's stated window.
- National University ranks release slip applicants and publishes a release slip result, the same way as earlier merit list rounds.
- Selected candidates confirm their seat following the instructions in that result's official notice.
A release slip application is not an automatic placement - you're still competing for a limited number of remaining seats, so selection isn't guaranteed.
How to check your release slip result
- Go to nu.ac.bd/admissions.
- Find the release slip result section for your specific admission session.
- Enter your application details as instructed.
- Check your status for the college/subject you applied for through the release slip.
