Every autumn, thousands of parents in Dhaka start checking one website: ulabscdu.edu.bd. The reason is simple. University Laboratory School and College, run under the Institute of Education and Research (IER) of the University of Dhaka, is among the most sought-after schools in the country. Seats are very limited, and competition is intense.
If you are searching for University Laboratory School and College admission 2027, this guide is for you. The official 2027 circular has not been confirmed in the material used here. This article is therefore based on the most recent circular, dated 14 October 2025, for the 2026 academic year. Admission rules at this school have followed a similar pattern in recent years, but dates, seats, fees and age limits can change, so always verify against the new notice when it is published.

University Laboratory School and College admission 2027
The latest notice, reference number U.Lab/2025/137, was issued on 14 October 2025 (29 Ashwin 1431 in the Bengali calendar). Its title was an admission notice for various classes in Bangla and English medium for the 2026 academic year. It was signed by the Head of the institution (in charge), Md. Jamil Uddin.
If the 2027 circular follows the same pattern, expect it around mid-October 2026. This is only a pattern, not a promise, so keep checking the official website.

Class Hours
For the Morning shift, the circular gives these class times:
- Bangla Medium: 8:10 AM to 1:30 PM overall. KG classes run from 8:10 to 10:40 AM.
- English Version: 8:10 AM to 1:30 PM overall. KG classes run from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM.
If your family needs a particular timing, check this before applying, because a student cannot switch version after admission.
Available Seats: Bangla Medium (Morning)
| Class | Seats |
|---|---|
| KG | 50 Internal + 30 External |
| Class 1 | 29 |
| Class 2 | 17 |
| Class 3 | 7 |
| Class 4 | 2 |
| Class 5 | 1 |
| Class 6 | 7 |
| Class 7 | 1 |
| Class 8 | 15 |
| Class 9 | 5 |
“Internal” seats are for children of teachers, officers and employees of the University of Dhaka. “External” seats are open to the general public. For Classes 1 to 9, the circular lists a single seat figure per class.
Available Seats: English Version (Morning)
| Class | Seats |
|---|---|
| KG | 50 |
| Class 1 | 13 |
| Class 2 | 9 |
| Class 3 | 8 |
| Class 4 | 7 |
| Class 5 | 4 |
| Class 6 | 6 |
| Class 7 | 17 |
| Class 8 | 10 |
| Class 9 | 11 |
By my count, that is about 164 seats in Bangla Medium and 135 in English Version, or roughly 299 across both. Some classes, such as Class 5 and Class 7 in Bangla Medium, have only one seat. Seat numbers change every year, so treat these figures as a reference only.
Age Limit for Admission
Age is calculated as of 31 December of the admission year. For the 2026 session, the date used was 31 December 2025. The same rule applies to both mediums.
| Class | Required Age |
|---|---|
| KG | 5 years or more, but under 6 |
| Class 1 | 6 years or more, but under 7 |
| Class 2 | 7 years or more, but under 8 |
| Class 3 | 8 years or more, but under 9 |
| Class 4 | 9 years or more, but under 10 |
| Class 5 | 10 years or more, but under 11 |
| Class 6 | 11 years or more, but under 12 |
For the 2027 session, the reference date will most likely move to 31 December 2026, which shifts each age window by one year. Wait for the official notice before assuming anything.
Special Conditions for Classes 7, 8 and 9
Older classes do not use age limits. They require board registration instead:
- Class 7: Must have been board-registered in Class 6 in 2025.
- Class 8: Must have been board-registered in Class 6 in 2024, as stated in the circular.
- Class 9: Must have been board-registered in Class 8 in 2025.
If your child is applying for these classes, check the registration year carefully. The exact wording of these conditions may change in the new circular.
Online Application Process Step by Step
All applications are submitted online. Here is the process described in the circular.
Step 1: Visit the Official Website
Go to ulabscdu.edu.bd when the application window opens. In the last cycle it opened at 12:00 noon on 16 October and closed at 11:59 PM on 14 November.
Step 2: Read the Instructions
The website provides form-filling instructions and the full admission notice. Read them before you start.
Step 3: Fill Out the Form
Enter the applicant’s full registered name and the parents’ full names exactly as they appear on certificates. The circular clearly says that the name of the admitted student or parents cannot be changed later, even partially. The date of birth must match the birth registration certificate.
Step 4: Upload Photographs
Upload a recent passport-size photograph of the applicant and a photograph of the guardian along with the form.
Step 5: Pay the Application Fee
Pay the fee online through the Online Payment Gateway shown on the form.
Step 6: Download the Form and Admit Card
After applying, download the application form and admit card from the website. The circular says to keep a colour print on A4 offset paper of both. The original admit card must be submitted at the time of admission, along with other documents.
Pro tip: Do not wait for the final day. Websites slow down near deadlines, and payment gateways can fail.
Application Fee
The fee in the latest circular is 200 BDT plus service charge, paid online. Fees can change, so verify the amount in the 2027 notice. Never pay anyone outside the official payment gateway, as no agent or broker can influence a lottery.
Lottery System
Selection from KG to Class 9 in both mediums is made through an open lottery, as per government policy. In the last cycle, the lottery was held on 29 November 2025 (Saturday) from 9:00 AM, conducted in phases.
The circular also includes a note: if the government policy introduces an exam system for student admission, the exam schedule and related details will be announced later on the school website.
Because selection is by lottery:
- Every eligible applicant has an equal chance.
- There is no need for coaching to pass an entrance test, unless an exam is introduced.
- Results come only from the official process.
Important Rules Every Parent Must Know
The circular lists several strict rules. Breaking them can lead to rejection.
- Online only. Forms are accepted only online, within the deadline. No application is accepted after the stated date and time.
- Complete and correct forms only. Only error-free, fully completed forms are valid.
- One class only. A student cannot apply for more than one class. If they do, they are treated as ineligible.
- KG exception. Only KG applicants may apply in both Bangla and English medium.
- No version switching. A Bangla medium student cannot apply for the English Version, and an admitted student cannot change version later.
- No name changes. The student’s and parents’ names cannot be changed after admission.
- False information. If any information is proven false or wrong, the lottery result or admission will be cancelled.
Documents to Keep Ready
Based on the circular, prepare these in advance:
- Birth registration certificate, with the date of birth matching the application
- Attested photocopy of both parents’ NID
- Passport-size photograph of the child
- Photograph of the guardian
- Printed colour copy of the application form
- Original admit card (colour print on A4 offset paper)
- For Internal KG to Class 9 Bangla Medium applicants: a photocopy of the University of Dhaka ID card, with the signature and seal of the department head
- Board registration proof for Classes 7 to 9, where applicable
Having these ready saves time once the lottery result is out.
Tips for Parents Before the 2027 Circular
- Check the birth certificate now. Mistakes in the date of birth or names are hard to fix later and can cause rejection.
- Decide the medium early. Bangla or English Version cannot be changed after admission, and only KG applicants can apply to both.
- Choose one class carefully. Applying for more than one class makes the applicant ineligible.
- Verify the age. Calculate your child’s age as of 31 December of the admission year, not the application date.
- Prepare a printer plan. The circular requires a colour A4 print of both the form and admit card.
- Apply early. Avoid last-day server and payment problems.
- Have a backup plan. With so few seats in some classes, consider other good schools as alternatives.
- Avoid brokers. Admission is by lottery, and nobody can guarantee a seat.
Why Parents Prefer This School
- University of Dhaka connection: The school operates under IER, University of Dhaka, with an academic environment tied to a leading university.
- Two mediums: Families can choose between Bangla Medium and English Version.
- Wide range of classes: Admission is open from KG up to Class 9.
- Fair selection: Lottery-based admission gives every eligible child an equal chance.
