CU's D unit sits on 6 February 2027 in Chattogram, Dhaka and Rajshahi. It is the most mixed unit CU has: nine Social Science departments, the Law faculty, the Institute of Education & Research, and two Biological Science departments — named in a 2024-25 report as Geography & Environmental Studies and Psychology.
In 2025-26 it offered 849 seats (842 in one report) to about 51,507 applicants, roughly 60 per seat. With sought-after subjects such as law in the same pool, the fight at the top of the merit list is stiff.

Departments reached through unit D
Geography and psychology belong to a science faculty yet are reached through D, not A — a science student who wants either must apply to unit D as well. Our sources do not give per-department seats.

GPA and last year’s turnout
For 2025-26 the D unit floor was lowered from GPA 8.0 to 7.5. Students with SSC 2022/2023 and HSC 2024/2025 could apply. Prothom Alo and The Daily Campus give different accounts of whether 20 GPA marks are added.

Preparing for a mixed unit
- Bangladesh and world affairs, the basics of the constitution and current economics serve both the social-science and law ends of the unit.
- Keep English and Bangla strong; whatever the split, language questions feature in nearly every general unit.
- The B unit is on 5 February; sitting both means back-to-back days, so plan your rest.
