RUET (Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology) examination is the entry test for admission to bachelor level engineering program at the country’s premier engineering university. It can be called a nationwide engineering admission test that is at the very top of the competition. The test is in form of single-answer questions from different disciplines (physics, chemistry, mathematics, and English). The exam evaluates students' analytical reasoning capability and their potential feasibility for engineering studies in science and mathematics domains. They will be asked up-to-date and very specific questions to find the best students possible.
Conducted in October 2024, the admission test of RUET gathered 37,000 students and competed for the admission of only around 3000 open slots with an admission rate less than 10%. The results were published on website www.officialwebsite.com on November 2023. The students must fulfill the other criteria even along with the good RUET score if they want to be selected. Likewise, RUET admission test for the 2024-25 academic year is scheduled to be held on October 29-2024, and the scorecards are to be published on the university website www.ruet.ac.bd by November 2024. The fact is that only a highly restricted number of seats are available so the admission process becomes more difficult and competitive every year.
