Rajshahi College, one of the oldest and most prestigious higher education institutions in Bangladesh, has released its HSC (Higher Secondary Certificate) Class XI Admission Circular for the 2026-2027 academic year. As a government college under the Rajshahi Education Board with a legacy stretching back to the 19th century, Rajshahi College Admission remains one of the most sought-after destinations for SSC graduates across Rajshahi division and beyond. Below is the complete, easy-to-follow breakdown of the key admission dates, the underlying national admission notice that governs the process, and the detailed 17-step schedule published in accordance with the Class XI Admission Policy 2026.
About Rajshahi College
Rajshahi College holds a distinguished place in the history of education in Bangladesh, having served generations of students across Science, Humanities, and Business Studies streams at the higher secondary level. Registered under EIIN Number 126490, the college continues to draw large numbers of applicants every academic year owing to its academic reputation, historic campus, and strong record of producing successful HSC graduates who go on to excel in universities and professional fields across the country.
Admission to Rajshahi College, like all other government and non-government colleges under the country’s education boards, is processed centrally through the national Class XI online admission system, rather than through any college-specific application form.
Rajshahi College Admission 2026-2027
The admission circular highlights four essential dates that every applicant interested in Rajshahi College must keep in mind:
- Application Start Date: 30 August 2026
- Application Last Date: 11 September 2026
- Admission Period: 17 September 2026 to 24 September 2026
- Class Start Date: 25 September 2026
These dates align with the centralized national schedule set by the Bangladesh Inter-Education Boards Coordination Committee, meaning Rajshahi College’s admission timeline runs in step with colleges across the country participating in the same online admission cycle.
The National Notice Behind This Admission Cycle
Beyond the college-specific dates, the circular also includes the full text of an official government notice issued by the Bangladesh Inter-Education Boards Coordination Committee dated 27 August 2026,. This notice, titled (Urgent Notice), formally announces the online admission website for the 2026-2027 Class XI admission cycle.
Based on these references, the notice formally informs all concerned parties that admission to Class XI for the 2026-2027 academic year at higher secondary schools, colleges, and equivalent institutions under the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Boards and the Bangladesh Madrasah Education Board will be conducted online through the officially designated admission website: https://xiclassadmission.gov.bd.
How Many Colleges Can Applicants Choose?
According to the notice, students and guardians must apply by following the complete guidelines provided on the official admission website. Importantly, the notice specifies that applicants can select a minimum of 5 (five) and a maximum of 10 (ten) colleges in their preference list, based on the seat availability at each institution. This means students interested in Rajshahi College should include it among their selected colleges — ideally ranked according to their genuine preference — alongside at least four other institutions to meet the minimum requirement, or up to nine additional institutions if applying to the maximum of ten.
Warning About Fake Websites
The notice includes an important caution for applicants and guardians: any advertisement or website other than the board’s officially designated admission website (https://xiclassadmission.gov.bd) should not be trusted. The notice explicitly states that if any student or guardian is deceived by an advertisement from a fake website, the board authority will bear absolutely no responsibility for any resulting loss or complication. Applicants are therefore strongly urged to apply only through the official portal and to be cautious of any third-party sites or advertisements claiming to offer admission services for Class XI.
Full 17-Step Admission Schedule
Following the national (Class XI Admission Policy 2026), Section 6.0, the circular provides a detailed, phase-by-phase schedule covering every stage of the admission process — from the initial application window through to the beginning of classes. Applicants interested in Rajshahi College, as with any other participating institution, must follow this exact centralized schedule, since it governs the entire national admission cycle.

Why the Confirmation Deadlines Matter So Much
Throughout this 17-step schedule, one theme repeats at every phase: students who are selected but fail to confirm their admission within the specified time window automatically lose their selection and must reapply from scratch in a later phase, if still eligible. This strict confirmation requirement applies equally whether a student is selected for Rajshahi College or any other institution in the centralized system. Applicants and guardians are therefore strongly advised to check the admission portal regularly once results begin being published on 20 September 2026, and to act immediately upon selection rather than waiting until the deadline approaches.
Rajshahi College Remains a Top Choice
As one of the most historically significant and academically respected institutions in Rajshahi division, Rajshahi College continues to attract a large pool of applicants across Science, Humanities, and Business Studies each admission cycle. Its participation in the centralized national admission system ensures a transparent, merit-based selection process, while its long-standing academic reputation makes it a natural first-choice or top-priority selection for many SSC graduates in the region and beyond.
Final Words
Students and guardians planning to apply for Rajshahi College’s Class XI admission for the 2026-2027 academic year should submit their online application between 30 August and 11 September 2026, ensure Rajshahi College is included among their selected colleges (with a minimum of 5 and maximum of 10 total choices), and track every phase of the admission schedule closely — particularly the confirmation deadlines, which carry serious consequences if missed.
