Best Colleges in Barishal — the Class XI Admission List

The first difficulty students hit when applying in Barishal is not a rule — it is a name. The city has several government colleges whose names sound close to one another, and adding the wrong institution to a list while searching the portal is genuinely common here.

The second reality is geography. A large part of Barishal district is river-bound — a daily commute from upazilas like Hijla, Muladi or Mehendiganj is not realistic. So the choice of college here usually has to be made together with the decision about where you will live, not separately from it.

Third, the district roster is comparatively small. There are over a hundred colleges, but the number of strong institutions inside the city is limited, and the whole division’s better results look towards them. Fewer options means less room to get the order of your list wrong.

The list — best colleges in Barishal

How to use this list

When you add a college on the portal, do not stop at the name — match the EIIN. Wrong institutions end up on lists in Barishal every year because of the similar names, and it cannot be undone once the fee is paid and the form submitted. That is exactly why every row on this page carries an EIIN.

If you are coming from a riverine upazila, settle accommodation before you apply. Launch and ferry timings shift in the monsoon and cannot be matched to class hours every day. Without somewhere to stay in the city, putting a good college from your own upazila high on the list is the more realistic plan.

When you pick a shift, think about the journey home and not only the journey in. A day shift finishes late in the afternoon, and on many rural routes the last transport leaves before that — a morning trip can be easy while the evening one leaves you stranded.
