Xi Class Admission System 2025-2026
For the 2025-2026 session, the Xi Class Admission System relies on a centralized, merit-based online platform managed by the Ministry of Education. This handles admissions to HSC programs in colleges and madrasas across Bangladesh.
This centralized approach has taken over from the older manual methods. The process involves submitting applications, releasing merit lists, confirming seats, and conducting migration rounds for any necessary adjustments. Classes for the 2025-2026 year will start on September 15, 2025. It includes three admission rounds with corresponding merit lists and two migration phases.
Eligibility
To apply for Xi Class Admission 2025, you must have passed the SSC or an equivalent exam in 2023, 2024, or 2025 from a recognized education board in Bangladesh.
Students from the Bangladesh Open University (BOU) who passed in 2021, 2022, or 2023 and are under 22 years old as of the admission year are also eligible to apply.
The minimum GPA needed varies depending on the group and institution. For science, it’s typically at least 4.0, while humanities and business studies usually require around 3.0–3.5.
About 11% of seats are set aside for quotas: 2% for children of freedom fighters, 1% for ethnic minorities, 1% for disabled students, and some for those with achievements in sports or cultural activities (percentages might differ slightly).
How to Apply For Xi Class Admission
The application window for Xi Admission will open shortly after the DSHE releases the circular. You’ll need to submit your XI Class Admission application through the official online platform from the Ministry of Education. Be sure to fill out the form accurately and follow all instructions to prevent any issues.
Here’s what to do:
- Register on the portal using your SSC roll number, registration number, board, and passing year to verify your credentials.
- Check your name, result with marksheet, date of birth, gender, and contact details.
- Select up to 10 preferred colleges and specify your desired group (science, humanities, or business studies).
- Pay the application fee of BDT 150 via Teletalk prepaid mobile or other supported mobile banking services.
- Submit the form and download the acknowledgment slip for your records.
Calculation of Merit List
The merit list for Xi Class Admission 2025 is based on your SSC GPA. The merit score is determined by multiplying the GPA by a specific factor (for example, GPA x 20), with adjustments made for quotas and preferences. In cases of tied scores, total SSC marks are used as a tiebreaker, followed by age or criteria specific to the board.
Results are notified via SMS to the registered mobile number and can also be checked on the online portal. There are three merit lists: the first on August 21, 2025, the second in late August or early September, and the third in mid-September. Two migration rounds allow for potential seat adjustments.
Xi Class Admission Result 2025
The first phase of online applications for class 11 admissions may begin on July 30 and last until August 11. Results for this phase will be out on August 20 at 8 pm. Students selected in the first phase must confirm by August 22 at 8 pm.
The second phase runs from August 23 to 25, with results published on August 28 at 8 pm. The third phase is from August 31, to September 1, and results will be released on September 3, 2025. The final migration results are scheduled for September 14.
During the result period, keep an eye on the official website xiclassadmission.gov.bd for any notifications or updates to ensure you don’t miss deadlines.
- Visit the official website: xiclassadmission.gov.bd.
- Navigate to the “View Result” or “Result Option” section.
- Enter your SSC Roll Number, Registration Number, and Education Board.
- Complete the security check (e.g., CAPTCHA).
- Click Submit to view your result, including your allocated college and merit position.
Migration Rounds
Two migration rounds allow upward mobility:
- First Migration: Released with the second merit list, allowing students confirmed in the first list to move to a higher-preference college if seats open up.
- Second Migration: Issued alongside the third merit list for similar opportunities.
Migration happens automatically and is optional; you’ll need to opt in during confirmation. It’s only for upgrades—no downgrades—and you’ll get an SMS notification. Success rates generally fall between 20-30%, based on available seats.
Admission Confirmation
If you’re selected in a merit list, you have to confirm your admission online within the given timeframe—typically 3-5 days after results—to hold onto your seat. Failing to confirm means the seat goes to someone else.
The migration option lets you automatically upgrade to a better-preferred college in subsequent rounds if seats become available and you’ve enabled it during confirmation. After that, you’ll pay the admission fees (ranging from BDT 500 for government colleges to BDT 5,000 for private ones) and submit original documents at the college, followed by an orientation session.
Conclusion
Navigating the Xi Class Admission process for 2025 requires close attention to eligibility criteria, submitting applications on time, and confirming promptly to ensure enrollment. It’s wise for students to have backup choices and consult educational counselors if necessary. For the most current information, always refer to official sources like xiclassadmission.gov.bd, since policies can sometimes shift.
