JU Admission Test Preparation and Exam Fee 2025

You ever get that weird feeling in your stomach right before an exam? Yeah, me too especially when I first started prepping for the JU Admission Test.

It’s not just another test. It’s the gateway to Jahangirnagar University, and, oh boy, does it come with its own set of rules, fees, and curveballs.

I’ve been helping students with JU Admission since flip phones were a thing (seriously, I’ve seen the system change more times than my Wi-Fi router). So, if you’re curious about how to actually prep (not just memorize what everyone else is doing), or if you’re worried about JU exam fees, or you’re a 2nd timer wondering if you’ve still got a shot grab a snack and read on.

Let’s talk facts first. The JU admission test now kicks off with online application windows this year, it’s from January 2 to January 21, 2026. Miss that? You’re out. Seriously, I once had a student who forgot the date, and, well. let’s just say he’s now a pro at Google Calendar.

• All applications are online—no paper
• Payment is digital (Bkash, Rocket, Nagad)—bless the end of standing in line at the bank.
• Admit cards are downloadable just don’t lose your transaction ID or you’ll grow a few gray hairs retrieving it.

The actual JU admission test? Still fierce. Five main units: A, B, C, D, and E. Each one is its own beast, and the syllabus gets updated almost every year.

Here’s the thing: JU exam fees have gone up for most units. This year:

• 900 Taka per unit for A, B, C, and E units
• 600 Taka for D unit

You pay through Bkash, Rocket, or Nagad. It’s fast, but double-check your transaction ID. Last month, I helped a student who mixed up two numbers, and it took three days to sort. Not fun.

Pro tip: Pay early in the window. Servers crash like dominoes on the last day.

Each unit at JU has its own syllabus and exam pattern. If you’re a “2nd timer” (meaning you’re trying again after a miss), you’re not alone. About 30% of my inbox in January is from 2nd timers looking for a comeback plan.

• A Unit: Math, Physics, Chemistry, Bangla, English, plus a few IT questions. Most science buffs flock here.
• B Unit: Bangla, English, Math, General Knowledge, Analytical Ability. This one’s for the social science crowd.
• C Unit: Bangla, English, Subject-based Knowledge (usually humanities). Lots of essay-style questions—practice writing concise answers!
• D Unit: Chemistry, Botany, Zoology, Bangla, English, Intelligence. If you’re a bio nerd, this is your zone.
• E Unit: Business basics, English, Math, IQ. Commerce students, take note.

Exam Format: All units: 80 marks, 55 minutes, MCQ style. Pass mark? 33%. But to be safe, aim way higher—competition is brutal.

GPA Calculation: Your SSC GPA × 1.5 and HSC GPA × 2.5 get added for a merit list out of 100.

Here’s where I get a little opinionated. You can buy every question bank on the street, but unless you actually practice under timed conditions, it’s almost pointless. I’ve seen students memorize 500 questions and still panic on test day.

• Practice with old questions: Especially for A and C units. The patterns do repeat, but they sneak in curveballs.
• Mock tests: Take them weekly. I force my students to do them in real exam timing. You should too.
• Group study (sometimes): It works if you don’t just gossip. Set a timer. Discuss what you can’t solve alone.
• Note-taking: Make your own notes. Don’t just photocopy your friend’s. When you write it out, you remember it.

Pro tip: For ICT in A unit, watch YouTube solution classes. This year, there are new playlists breaking down tough problems step-by-step. I watched a few—super helpful, especially if you’re not a programming whiz.

If you want to get into JU, you need to be a planner. Here’s the 2025 timeline in plain English:

• Jan 2–21, 2026: Application window (set a reminder, honestly)
• Feb–March 2026: Admit cards out
• March–April 2026: Exam dates (by unit—watch the official site like a hawk)
• April–May 2026: Results published.

Extra advice: Check the syllabus for your unit. It changes. This year, the A unit added some new ICT topics and the B unit gave more weight to analytical ability.

I get this question all the time: “Should I try for JU again?” My honest answer—if you can put in the work and not just “wing it,” absolutely.

Many JU toppers I know were 2nd timers. They came in smarter, less nervous, and with a hunger that’s hard to fake.

• Review what went wrong last time.
• Don’t repeat the same mistakes. Try different prep strategies.
• Reach out to seniors or mentors who’ve done it—don’t be shy.

Confession: I failed my first university entrance exam (not JU, but close). It stung, but it made me a better test-taker the next time.

• Q: Can I apply to more than one unit?
  A: Yes, but you’ll pay the fee for each unit. Choose wisely—or just win the lottery!
• Q: Are calculators allowed?
  A: Nope. Just your brain (and maybe a lucky pen).
• Q: Is there negative marking?
  A: Yes! Don’t guess blindly. It’s usually 0.25 marks off per wrong answer.
• Q: Where do I get the latest syllabus?
  A: Official JU admission site or trusted prep groups. Don’t trust random PDFs from Facebook.
