The MBBS and BDS admission tests for 2026-27 fall on the same day, now reported for 18 December 2026. The earlier preliminary date of 4 December (DGME decision of 16 September) proved unfeasible. The DG of DGME, Prof Nazmul Hosain, confirmed 18 December, according to The Financial Express (8 November 2026). Online applications are likely to open between 15 and 18 November, but a formal notice is still awaited. As of 13 November 2026 no circular was on dgme.gov.bd (latest notice dated 26 October).
The circular, application fee, minimum GPA and seat count have not been announced, so the eligibility, marks and seats below are 2025-26 figures. Last year 122,632 candidates applied for 13,051 seats; 66.57% passed, but only a small fraction of them found a place in a government college.

Why the test moved from 4 to 18 December
DGME first set 4 December 2026 in its decision of 16 September. Prof Rubina Yasmin, Additional DG (Medical Education), reported that the 4 December test was postponed (Dhaka Times, 4 November 2026). DGME’s DG, Prof Nazmul Hosain, has since confirmed 18 December 2026, as reported on 8 November. No circular had appeared by 13 November, so 18 December is reported but not yet formally notified; the circular will settle it.
The practical advice: plan your revision around 18 December and recheck the date once the circular appears. Online applications are reportedly likely to open between 15 and 18 November, but that is press reporting, not a published notice. In 2025-26 only 32 days separated the notice from the test.
Who could apply (2025-26)
If the rule carries over, each pass year moves forward by one for 2026-27 — the circular will confirm it.
- A combined SSC and HSC GPA of at least 8.50 — lowered from 9.00 the year before.
- Neither exam below GPA 4.00, and at least grade point 3.50 in HSC biology.
- Tribal and hill-district candidates: 8.00 in total, with at least 3.50 in each.
- HSC in 2024 or 2025, and SSC in 2022 or later.
The paper and the merit score (2025-26)
One hundred MCQs, 0.25 off for each wrong answer, a pass mark of 40. The final rank is out of 200: SSC GPA × 8 (up to 40), HSC GPA × 12 (up to 60) and the test’s 100. A candidate who passed HSC the previous year loses 3 points, and one who was earlier admitted to a government medical or dental college loses 5.
Most serious candidates bring near-identical GPA points, so the test’s hundred marks decide the order — above all the 55 biology and chemistry questions. If this year’s pattern changes, so will this split.
| Subject | Questions and marks |
|---|---|
| Biology | 30 |
| Chemistry | 25 |
| Physics | 15 |
| English | 15 |
| General knowledge and aptitude | 15 |
How many seats there were (2025-26)
