As many as 32 public universities will enroll students at the undergraduate level through admission tests for the academic year 2021-22 under a cluster system.
The decision was taken at a meeting with the vice chancellors of the universities at the University Grants Commission (UGC) on Thursday.
Last year, a total of 29 universities maintained the admission system.
The three new universities being included this year are Kishoreganj Science and Technology University, Chandpur Science and Technology University, and Habiganj Agricultural University.
The schedule of the admission test will be announced following a meeting of the Bangladesh University Council on Friday.
On February 26, 2020, the UGC announced that 34 public universities would hold admission tests in four clusters.
But five major public universities and two specialized engineering universities— Dhaka University, Chittagong University, Rajshahi University, Jahangirnagar University, and the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Maritime University and Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Aviation and Aerospace University – are yet to participate at the cluster admission test.
