The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has officially announced the Medical Admission 2026 date and new exam format for the upcoming MBBS program. The admission test for both government and private medical colleges across Bangladesh will be held on December 12, 2025.
For the first time, students will face both MCQ (Multiple Choice Questions) and a short-written examination in MBBS Admission 2026 for the session 2025-26. The decision aims to evaluate students’ conceptual understanding in addition to their ability to answer objective questions. The move has been finalized in a recent meeting held by the Ministry of Health on Monday, October 6.
Medical Admission 2026
The Medical Admission test session 2025-26 will mark a new chapter in the selection process for future medical students. Traditionally, the exam was entirely based on MCQs, focusing mainly on memorization and quick response skills. However, this time, the authorities have added a written section to assess analytical thinking and clarity in understanding key topics.
According to officials present at the meeting, the written part will carry 10 to 20 marks only. Though it won’t heavily impact the total score, it will play a significant role in differentiating candidates with deeper subject knowledge. The Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC) will finalize and announce the detailed mark distribution and exam structure soon.
MBBS Admission 2026: Exam Schedule
The MBBS Admission Test for the 2025-26 academic session is scheduled for December 12, 2025. The exam will be held simultaneously across the country in various centers designated by the Directorate General of Medical Education (DGME).
Professor Dr. Nazmul Islam, Director General of DGME, confirmed that preparations are in progress. He said, “We are preparing for the admission test. The application process and other related matters will be finalized and announced soon.”
Once the official circular is released, it will include the application start date, deadline, admit card download schedule, and other key instructions. Students are advised to keep an eye on the official DGME and DGHS websites for real-time updates
