Medical Admission Circular 2026-27: MBBS & BDS Notice, Dates & PDF

Is the Medical Admission Circular 2026-27 Out?

The Directorate General of Medical Education (DGME) has confirmed the exam date, but the full admission circular for government and private medical and dental colleges was still awaited when this page was written. News reports said the formal notice would come within days and that online applications were likely to open in the middle of November. As soon as the notice appears on the DGME website, its PDF and every date are added here.

Last Year vs This Year

The 2025-26 circular is the best guide to what the new one will look like. Here is how the two sessions compare so far:

What the Circular Will Include

Every DGME circular follows the admission policy made by the Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council (BMDC). Expect these parts in the 2026-27 notice:

• Minimum SSC and HSC GPA and the Physics, Chemistry and Biology grades needed to apply
• Online application dates, fee and how to pay it through Teletalk
• Photo and signature size for the form
• Number of seats in each government medical college and dental unit
• Exam centres, exam time, marks and negative marking
• Reserved seats (quota) and the rules for them
• How the merit list and college selection will be made

Where to Get the Circular PDF

DGME publishes the circular on its notice board, and the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) shares it too. The application form opens on the Teletalk portal at the same time. Foreign students get a separate circular — last year it came out on 10 November 2025, one day before the local application started.

What to Do Before the Circular Comes

1. Keep your SSC and HSC roll, registration number, board and passing year written down.
2. Take a clear passport-size photo with a white or light background and scan your signature on white paper.
3. Make sure you have a Teletalk prepaid SIM with some balance for the fee SMS.
4. Make a first list of the colleges you want, in order of choice.
5. Keep studying — the test date is already fixed.

Key Rules From the Latest Admission Policy

Until the new circular arrives, the 2025-26 BMDC admission policy is the best guide. These are the rules most students ask about:

Seats Were Rearranged Last Year

In the 2025-26 session the health ministry rearranged the MBBS seats of the 37 government medical colleges. These colleges had 5,380 seats. Seats were cut in 14 colleges (355 seats in total) and increased in 3 colleges (75 seats), so the total fell by 280 to 5,100. The eight oldest and best-known colleges each lost 25 seats. Watch the 2026-27 circular closely, because the seat table decides how many students each college can take.

How to Read the Circular PDF

A medical admission circular is long, but only a few parts change every year. Read these first:

1. Important dates table — application start and end, fee deadline, admit card and test date.
2. Eligibility section — the GPA total, the subject grade points and the passing years.
3. Fee and payment — the amount and the exact SMS format.
4. Seat table — seats in every government medical college and dental unit.
5. Reserved seats — the quota categories and the papers you must show.
6. Exam rules — centres, what you may bring and what is banned.
7. Merit and selection — how ties are broken and how migration works.

Private Medical College Admission Notice

Private medical and dental colleges do not hold their own test. They admit students from the same national merit list after the government seats are filled. DGME publishes a separate notice for this. In the 2025-26 session, private admission ran from 25 to 31 March 2026, each student had to pay Tk 1 lakh at the start, and migration applications were taken from 29 to 31 March.
