A serious error has been reported in the admission results of Rajshahi University’s 2025–26 academic year for the first-year undergraduate ‘C’ unit under the non-science section. Despite achieving the required passing marks, hundreds of students were incorrectly marked as failed, sparking anger and concern among students and parents. The issue arose after the results were published, with many affected candidates claiming they were denied further admission opportunities.

According to the source, the pass mark for both science and non-science sections was set at 40. However, the science section required separate minimum scores in compulsory and optional parts, a condition not applicable to the non-science section. Allegedly, the same rule was mistakenly applied to non-science candidates, causing many to fail. Several quota students, including those under player and freedom fighter categories, were also affected.

University officials acknowledged receiving complaints. The ICT Center director confirmed the issue, while the ‘C’ unit coordinator and the vice-chancellor (academic) stated that a meeting on April 19 would decide on result corrections. Affected students and guardians have demanded immediate revision and republication of the results.
