Four More Universities May Join GST Admission
Four public universities are being considered for the 2026-27 GST admission process.
Meherpur University may receive final approval for its Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) and English departments. The university could initially offer around 80 to 100 seats.
Meanwhile, Bogura University, Thakurgaon University, and Lakshmipur Science and Technology University have yet to receive approval for their academic departments.
Each of these three universities may initially offer around 100 to 150 seats.
If all four universities receive the required approval, the GST cluster could expand to 24 universities, with an estimated 16,473 to 16,643 seats.
These figures are only estimates. The final seat numbers will depend on departmental approval and UGC decisions.
Why the GST Cluster Admission System Was Introduced
The UGC introduced the cluster-based admission system in the 2020-21 academic year to reduce the difficulties students faced during university admissions.
Under this system, students can take a single admission test for several participating universities instead of sitting separate tests at each institution.
For the 2026-27 academic year, the confirmed seat information covers 20 universities. Students seeking admission will need to follow further decisions on the four proposed new members before treating the expanded seat figures as final.
