National University Honours 1st Year Exams Begin Today

The 2025 Honours first-year examinations under the National University began on Tuesday, July 28, following a one-day postponement of the opening examination. The university had originally scheduled the examinations to start on July 27 but later revised the date due to unavoidable circumstances.

According to the updated examination routine, the change applies to candidates appearing for paper codes 211521 and 211501. On the first day, students are sitting for the examinations on History of Bangladesh: Language, Culture and Identity under the new syllabus and History of the Emergence of Independent Bangladesh under the old syllabus.

The National University's Office of the Controller of Examinations said that all examinations will generally begin at 1:30 PM. Candidates have been advised to arrive at their examination centres before the scheduled starting time.
