YWCA Uccho Madhyamik Balika Bidyalaya (YWCA Higher Secondary Girls’ School), Dhaka, has published its official Pre-Group student admission notice for the 2027 academic year. This notice covers the earliest entry point into the institution, inviting applications for both girl and boy students at the pre-group (early childhood) level, subject to a specific age requirement. Below is the complete, easy-to-follow breakdown of the age limit, form distribution dates, interview schedule, class shift timing, fees, and the school’s detailed admission rules.
YWCA Higher Secondary Girls’ School Admission
YWCA Uccho Madhyamik Balika Bidyalaya is a well-known girls’ educational institution in Dhaka, operating under the YWCA (Young Women’s Christian Association) network. While the institution is primarily known as a girls’ school at the higher secondary level, its Pre-Group (early childhood/pre-primary) admission notice interestingly welcomes both girl and boy students, reflecting a common practice among many Bangladeshi schools of maintaining co-educational pre-primary sections even within an otherwise single-gender institution.
For further information, updates, and admission-related notices, guardians should regularly check the school’s official website at www.ywca.edu.bd or follow the “YWCA Higher Secondary Girls’ School” page on Facebook, both of which the notice specifically identifies as official channels for further instructions.
Age Requirement for Pre-Group Admission
The notice specifies a precise age range for eligibility into the Pre-Group class:
- Age Limit: 3 years 1 month to 4 years, as calculated for January 2027
This means guardians should calculate their child’s exact age as of January 2027 to confirm eligibility, since the age window is fairly narrow and specific — spanning just under one year (from 3 years 1 month up to 4 years).
Admission Form Distribution
- Form Distribution Period: 12 October 2026 (Sunday) to 30 October 2026 (Thursday)
- Timing: Every day from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM (noon), except on school holidays
- Collection Point: Forms must be collected from the fee counter at the school
Guardians should note the exclusion of school holidays during this roughly two-and-a-half-week window, and plan their visit accordingly to avoid arriving on a day when the counter may be closed.
Application Form Fee
The admission form is priced at Tk. 500 (five hundred taka only), and the notice explicitly states that this fee is non-refundable . Guardians should be prepared for this cost as a firm, non-negotiable part of the application process, regardless of the final admission outcome.
Application Submission and Interview Schedule
The notice outlines a specific date and time schedule for submitting the completed application and attending the required interview, with separate time slots for girl and boy applicants:
| Date | Day and Applicant Group | Time |
| 15 November 2026 | Saturday — Girl students (Prabhati and Diba shift) | 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM |
| 15 November 2026 | Saturday — Boy students (Prabhati and Diba shift) | 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM |
Important note regarding the interview: During the interview time, the applying student must be present along with both parents (father and mother). This requirement underscores the importance the school places on direct parental involvement in the early admission process, likely to assess the overall family context alongside the child’s readiness for school.
Pre-Group Class Shift Schedule
For guardians planning their daily routine around their child’s schooling, the notice provides the following class shift timings for the Pre-Group level:
| Shift | Class Time | School Gate Entry Time |
| 1st Shift (Prabhati/Morning) | 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM | 7:45 AM |
| 2nd Shift (Diba/Day) | 10:45 AM – 12:45 PM | 10:30 AM |
Guardians should note the distinct gate entry times — 15 minutes before the Prabhati shift begins, and also 15 minutes before the Diba shift begins — ensuring children arrive with adequate buffer time before classes start.
Special Admission-Related Rules and Conditions
The notice lists a detailed set of rules that all applicants and guardians must understand and accept before participating in the admission process:
- a) Lottery-Based Selection, Subject to Change: Selected candidates will be informed through a lottery-based selection process. However, the school authority reserves the right to change this predetermined selection method, subject to approval by the school’s management committee. Only guardians who are willing to accept this possible change should proceed with the application process.
- b) Result Announcement Date to Be Communicated: The specific date for the announcement of results will be communicated to applicants at the time of form submission and interview, rather than being fixed in advance in this notice.
- c) Management Committee Decisions Are Final: All information related to the above process, along with any decisions made or changed by the school’s management committee, will be considered final and binding.
- d) Agreement to School Rules: All students, parents, and guardians participating in the admission process are considered to have agreed to abide by all rules and disciplinary codes of the school.
- e) No Shift Changes After Admission: Once a student is admitted, no change of shift (Prabhati or Diba) will be permitted.
- f) Admission Must Be Completed Within the Specified Time: If a selected candidate does not complete admission within the given timeframe, the seat will instead be offered to a candidate from the waiting list.
Why These Rules Matter for Applicants
These conditions collectively signal that YWCA Higher Secondary Girls’ School maintains a structured, disciplined, and somewhat flexible administrative approach to its Pre-Group admissions — flexible in the sense that the school retains the right to adjust its selection methodology if approved by its management committee, but strict in enforcing rules such as the no-shift-change policy and the waiting list mechanism for missed admission deadlines. Guardians should read and understand these conditions carefully before submitting an application, since participation implies acceptance of all the terms listed above.
Step-by-Step Guide for Guardians
- Confirm your child’s age falls within 3 years 1 month to 4 years as of January 2027.
- Visit the school’s fee counter between 12 and 30 October 2026 (8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, excluding holidays) to collect the admission form.
- Pay the non-refundable Tk. 500 form fee at the time of collection.
- Complete the form and prepare to attend the submission and interview session on 15 November 2026 — 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM for girl applicants, or 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM for boy applicants.
- Ensure both parents accompany the child to the interview, as required by the school.
- Wait for the lottery-based selection result, the date of which will be communicated directly at the time of form submission and interview.
- If selected, complete the admission process within the specified time frame to avoid losing the seat to a waiting list candidate.
- Once admitted, note that your child’s shift (Prabhati or Diba) is fixed and cannot be changed later.
- Keep track of gate entry times — 7:45 AM for Prabhati shift or 10:30 AM for Diba shift — to ensure punctual arrival each school day.
- Regularly check www.ywca.edu.bd and the “YWCA Higher Secondary Girls’ School” Facebook page for further notices and instructions throughout the admission process.
YWCA Higher Secondary Girls’ School Is a Notable Choice
As part of the broader YWCA network, this institution carries a long-standing reputation for values-based, disciplined education in Dhaka. Offering a co-educational Pre-Group entry point allows families with both daughters and sons to consider the school for their youngest children’s earliest formal education, even though the institution’s higher grades are dedicated specifically to girls. The structured, rules-based admission process — complete with a defined interview requirement involving both parents — reflects the school’s emphasis on strong family engagement from the very beginning of a child’s educational journey.
A Note on Timing and Planning
Given the relatively narrow age window (3 years 1 month to 4 years) and the specific, non-overlapping time slots for girl and boy applicants on interview day, guardians are strongly encouraged to mark their calendars well in advance for both the form collection period (12-30 October 2026) and the interview date (15 November 2026). Missing either window could mean waiting for the next academic year’s admission cycle, given how specific and time-bound each stage of this process is.
Final Words
Guardians interested in enrolling their child at YWCA Higher Secondary Girls’ School’s Pre-Group class for the 2027 academic year should first confirm their child meets the 3 years 1 month to 4 years age requirement, then collect the admission form from the school’s fee counter between 12 and 30 October 2026, paying the Tk. 500 non-refundable fee. Be sure to attend the submission and interview session on 15 November 2026 at the appropriate time for your child’s gender, with both parents present. Since lottery result dates and any procedural changes will be communicated directly by the school, guardians should stay closely connected to the official website www.ywca.edu.bd and the school’s Facebook page throughout the process.
