Students having a total GPA of six in HSC and SSC examinations can apply for admission under the science faculty.

For admission to business administration faculty and social science faculty, the candidates must have a total GPA of 5.5. The committee, however, may revise the conditions in its next meeting which is likely to be held in a couple of days, said a dean.

The terms and conditions for the students who appeared in the SSC and HSC examinations under traditional system will remain unchanged. Students having two second divisions will be eligible to apply.
