A direct link exists between a university's mission and the characteristics of the students under different educational programs. Thus, program design and student selection are interdependent processes, as under:

1. The university selects students consistent with its mission.
   
   

2. The university demonstrates continuous efforts to achieve demographic diversity in its student enrollment.
   
   

3. Admission policies at the graduate level normally limit selection of students at undergraduate level. Candidates admitted are meant to be qualified for the program to which they are admitted. Retention policies for graduate students are intended to be consistent with the objective of producing high quality graduates.

For Undergraduate Program, the entry requirement is Higher Secondary Certificate or equivalent in the respective or related area. In order to be eligible for admission a student must secure a minimum of second division or equivalent at all levels. A student with a third division at any level will not be considered for admission. This is applicable for all departments, all subjects and all faculties. Selection of students is made strictly on the basis of the result of the written admission test. Prescribed application form will be available in the University on payment of the usual fee. Completed application in prescribed form will be submitted in the University. All applications must be accompanied by the following documents:

1. Attested copy of the Certificate and Mark sheet of S.S.C. Examination, or equivalent Examination.
   
   

2. Attested copy of the certificate and Mark sheet of H.S.C. Examination, or equivalent Examination.
   
   

3. One stamp size and four-attested passport size photographs. One of the passport size photographs will be returned to the candidate with signature and seal of the officer authorized by the University. This will be retained by the candidate to be produced for his identification when necessary.
   
   

4. A statement acknowledging the payment of admission fees.

All information regarding admission will be found on the notice board and catalog of VUB as well as, from the Student Information Desk of the University. The written test for admission will be held as per schedule announced by the University.

For a Master’s Program, the entry requirement is a Bachelor’s degree or any other equivalent level of education in the respective area. There may be pre-requisites, if there is a deficiency in some of the earlier programs. The respective departments and/or the Equivalence Committee will determine such pre-requisites.

There is a VUB Equivalence Committee for determination of different equivalence. VUB accepts students having equivalent foreign or local degrees as per the pre-requisites assigned by the respective department/faculty.

VUB provides access to the international students for all the programs provided they fulfill the admission requirements as laid down for the local students. However, the requirement of board interview may be waived. In that case, evaluation of students will be done on the basis of previous academic records.
