National University (NU) has published the Degree (Pass) and Certificate Course Second Year Examination 2024 results within 42 working days, marking a significant improvement in its result management process, the university said. The results were officially released on 11 July 2026 after completing answer script evaluation, mark entry, data verification and administrative procedures within the timeframe.
The examination, which began on 20 April 2026 and ended on 18 May, saw 197,615 students from 1,915 colleges across the country appear at 647 centres. Despite an 11-day government holiday during Eid-ul-Azha, the university completed the evaluation and result preparation process on schedule, with the average pass rate standing at 93.53%.
National University said in a press release that the achievement was made possible through planned management, effective use of information technology and improved coordination under the leadership of Vice-Chancellor Professor Dr ASM Amanullah.
The university said its administration has introduced technology-based systems to make academic and administrative services more transparent, dynamic and efficient. It added that the faster publication of results was part of its efforts to transform National University into a modern and student-friendly higher education institution.
Professor Dr ASM Amanullah said, “The rapid publication of results is a practical reflection of our commitment to transforming National University into a modern, dynamic and student-friendly higher education institution. Publishing accurate results within just 42 working days while maintaining transparency is the outcome of our administrative capacity and coordinated efforts. We will continue these efforts to ensure timely and technology-based services for students in the future.”
Controller of Examinations Md Enamul Karim said every post-examination process was completed according to a planned schedule despite the long Eid holiday. He said coordinated efforts in answer script evaluation, mark entry, data verification and result preparation helped the university publish accurate results within a short period.
Students welcomed the faster result publication process. Tahmina Akter, a second-year degree student at Siddheswari College in Dhaka, said the shorter waiting period had made it easier for students to prepare for the next academic stage and plan their studies.
Rajshahi College student Abid Islam said the quick publication of results, even after the long Eid holiday, helped students avoid delays in planning for higher education and career preparation.
Academics and prominent figures also welcomed the changes at National University, saying the institution had previously faced criticism over session delays and slow result publication. They said improved administrative efficiency, technology adoption and institutional commitment had brought positive changes.
They added that publishing results within 42 working days could serve as a model for other public universities and help ensure timely services for the country’s large student population.
