Bangladesh’s Directorate of Secondary and Higher Education (DSHE) has announced that admissions for students selected through the digital lottery for government and private secondary schools will begin on December 17 and continue until December 21. If seats remain vacant, the first waiting list will be used from December 22 to 24, and the second from December 27 to 30. All admission activities must be completed by December 30. The DSHE circular instructs schools to carefully verify each student’s documents, including original birth certificates and parents’ national ID cards. Institutions must strictly follow quota policies and reject any student found to have provided false information. School heads will face disciplinary action for any irregularities in the admission process. According to the published results, 305,499 students were selected in the first list, including 107,521 for government schools. In private schools, 197,978 students were selected, leaving 874,273 seats vacant, highlighting a significant gap between applications and available admissions.
