Your Ultimate Guide to Medical & Engineering Admission in Bangladesh
The university admission season in Bangladesh is one of the most competitive and stressful periods for a student. Securing a place in a top public medical or engineering college like BUET is a dream for millions, but a reality for only a few thousand. This Admission Chance Predictor is a data-driven tool designed to give you a realistic assessment of your chances based on your academic results and expected admission test performance.
What is an Admission Chance Predictor?
This tool acts as a simulator. It takes your SSC GPA, HSC GPA, and an estimated admission test score, then calculates your total merit score using the same formulas that the official admission committees use. By comparing your score to the cut-off scores from previous years, it provides a prediction—from "High Chance" to "Difficult"—of your likelihood of getting admitted.
How Admission Merit Scores are Calculated
Understanding the formula is key. Each unit has a slightly different method for calculating the final merit score, which determines your admission:
- Medical Admission: The total score is 300. The formula is: Merit Score = (SSC GPA × 15) + (HSC GPA × 25) + Admission Test Score (out of 100).
- Engineering (BUET): BUET uses a multi-stage process. First, students are screened based on their HSC subject grades. Those who qualify sit for the final admission test (worth 600 marks). The final merit list is based almost entirely on this admission test score.
- Engineering (Cluster - KUET/RUET/CUET): The total score is typically 700. The merit score is calculated as: Merit Score = (HSC Physics GPA x 5) + (HSC Chemistry GPA x 5) + (HSC Math GPA x 5) + Admission Test Score (out of 500).
Our tool uses these formulas to provide the most accurate possible prediction.
Understanding Cut-off Scores
The "cut-off score" is the score of the last candidate who was admitted in a particular year. This score changes every year depending on the difficulty of the admission test questions and the overall performance of the students. Our predictor uses a range of historical cut-off scores to make its prediction.
How to Use the Predictor
- Enter your SSC and HSC GPA (on the 5.00 scale).
- Select your target unit (Medical, BUET, or Engineering Cluster).
- Enter your expected or mock admission test score. Be realistic!
- Click the "Predict My Chance" button to see your calculated merit score and your admission probability.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is a "good" score for the medical admission test?
To be competitive for a top government medical college, students generally need to score above 85 on the 100-mark admission test, assuming they have a perfect GPA in SSC and HSC.
2. If the tool shows a "High Chance," am I guaranteed admission?
No. This tool is a predictor based on past data. The actual cut-off score for the current year can be higher or lower. However, a "High Chance" prediction is a very strong indicator that you are on the right track.
3. How can I improve my chances?
Your SSC and HSC results are fixed. The only variable you can control now is your admission test score. This is where your entire focus should be. Solving past questions, taking mock tests, and joining a good coaching program can make a significant difference.
