Quick Links (Official Notice & Application)
No need to hunt around the internet. Here are the only two links you’ll really need.
- Official Notice PDF: [Link to be updated once released]
- Online Application Portal: http://ems.nu.ac.bd/student-login
Understanding the Official National University Notice
Let’s be real, sometimes reading an official university notice feels like trying to read a doctor’s prescription. The language can be formal and a bit confusing. But it’s the most important document in this whole process, so we have to tackle it.
Download the Official Circular PDF
First things first, grab the official circular. Don’t rely on screenshots from a friend’s friend’s Facebook group. Always go to the source. Once the notice for the Honours 2nd Year Form Fill Up 2025 is published, you’ll be able to download it directly from the NU website. I’ll post the link right here as soon as it’s available.
Key Points from the Notice Explained Simply
I’ve gone through the typical notice and translated the ‘official-speak’ into plain English for you.
- Who is it for? The notice clearly states which academic sessions are eligible. This primarily includes the 2022-2023 session regular students, but also irregular and improvement students from previous sessions. We’ll get into the details of that in a bit.
- It’s All Online: You can’t just walk into your college and ask for a paper form. The entire application process is done through the NU portal.
- The Fee is Fixed: The notice will have a detailed chart of the fees. This isn’t something you can bargain. Pay what’s required, not a taka more or less.
- College is Still Key: Even though you apply online, you MUST print the application form and submit it to your college’s designated department along with other required documents. Skipping this step means your form fill-up is incomplete.
- Deadlines are Final: The notice will emphasize the deadlines. The online server usually closes at 11:59 PM on the last day. Don’t be that person trying to submit at 11:58 PM. Trust me, it’s a recipe for disaster.
Eligibility for Honours 2nd Year Form Fill Up
So, who gets to join the party? It’s not just about being a 2nd-year student. There are a few rules. Let’s break down the eligibility criteria so you know exactly where you stand.
Who Can Apply? (Regular & Irregular Students)
Regular Students: If you’re from the 2022-2023 academic session and you were promoted from the 1st year, you’re a regular student. This is the most straightforward category. Welcome aboard!
Irregular Students: These are students from previous sessions (e.g., 2021-22, 2020-21) who, for some reason, couldn’t fill the form last year or were not promoted. If you’ve now met the promotion criteria, you can apply as an irregular student.
Grade Improvement Students (1st Year): If you passed the 1st year but got a ‘C’ or ‘D’ grade in one or more subjects and want to improve your score, you can also fill out the form to retake those specific 1st-year exams along with your regular 2nd-year exams. It’s a tough road, but can be worth it for your final CGPA!
Conditions for Improvement Examinees
Thinking of improving a grade? Smart move! But there are some rules:
- You can only apply for improvement exams for subjects in which you scored a ‘C’ or ‘D’. You can’t retake a subject if you got a ‘B’ or higher.
- You generally only get one chance to improve a grade for a particular year.
- You must take the improvement exam along with the next batch’s regular examination.
My advice? Only go for improvement if you are absolutely sure you can score better. It means extra study pressure alongside your regular 2nd-year subjects.
Detailed Breakdown of Form Fill Up Fees 2025
Ah, the million-taka question (not literally, thankfully!). How much is this going to cost? The fees can vary slightly based on your department and college, but the core NU fees are standardized.
Fee Structure by Department (Arts, Science, BBA, etc.)
Here’s a tentative breakdown. The final, exact amounts will be in the official 2025 circular. Science departments usually have slightly higher fees due to practical/lab costs.
| Fee Category | Arts/Social Science/BBA (Approx.) | Science/Practical-based (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Form Fee | ৳250 | ৳250 |
| Per Subject Fee | ৳200-250 per subject/paper | ৳250-300 per subject/paper |
| In-course Exam Fee | ৳300 | ৳300 |
| Centre Fee | ৳450 | ৳450 |
| College Development Fee | Varies by college | Varies by college |
| Total (Estimated) | ৳2500 – ৳4000 | ৳3500 – ৳5000 |
Important Note: The ‘College Development Fee’ is decided by your specific college. This is why the total amount can differ from one college to another.
How to Pay the Fee Online (Sonali Seba Guide)
Gone are the days of standing in long bank lines! You’ll pay your fees through the Sonali Seba payment gateway. It’s pretty simple.
- After you complete the online application, the system will generate a Pay Slip.
- This slip will have a unique number and details of your payment.
- You can either print this slip and pay at any Sonali Bank branch, or you can use the Sonali e-Seba app or website.
- Using the app, you can pay with your bank account, mobile banking (like bKash, Rocket, Nagad), or cards.
- Once the payment is successful, you’ll get a confirmation. Keep a screenshot or a printed copy of this confirmation. It’s your proof of payment!
Step-by-Step Online Application Process (With Screenshots)
Okay, time for the main event! Here’s exactly how to fill out the form online. Follow these steps, and you’ll be done in no time.
Step 1: Accessing the NU Form Fill Up Portal
First, open your web browser (I recommend using a PC or laptop for this, not a mobile phone) and go to the official portal: www.nubd.info/honours.
You’ll see a page with various options. Look for something like “Form Fill Up for Honours 2nd Year” or a similar notice. Click on it!

Step 2: Entering Your Registration Number
This is the simplest yet most crucial step. The portal will ask for your NU Registration Number. You can find this on your 1st-year admit card or registration card.
Enter it carefully. Double-check it. Triple-check it. A single wrong digit will lead to an error.

After entering the number and hitting ‘Next’ or ‘Submit’, the system will fetch your data.
Step 3: Verifying Your Subjects and Personal Details
This is where you need to pay close attention. The next screen will show all your personal information (Name, Father’s Name, College Name) and a list of your 2nd-year subjects.
- Check Your Name and Details: Make sure everything is spelled correctly.
- Verify Your Subjects: The system will automatically list your compulsory and elective subjects for the 2nd year. Cross-check these with your department’s syllabus. If you see a wrong subject code, stop immediately and contact your college’s exam department.
- Provide Your Mobile Number: There will be a field to enter your personal mobile number. Use a number that is active, as the university might send important SMS notifications to it.

Once you are 100% sure that all the information is correct, click the ‘Submit’ button.
Step 4: Downloading and Printing the Final Application Form
After submission, the portal will generate your completed application form as a PDF document. This is your golden ticket!
- Download the PDF: A download link will appear. Click it and save the file to your computer.
- Print It: You need to print this document. A good quality, clear print on A4 paper is best. Most colleges ask for 2-3 copies, so print accordingly.
This printed form will have your photo, signature, subject details, and a designated section for the college principal’s signature. This is the document you’ll be submitting to your college.
Required Documents for College Submission
Alright, you’ve conquered the online part. What’s next? You need to gather a few documents and physically submit them to your college office (usually the department head or the exam controller’s office).
Checklist for a Smooth Submission Process
Get these ready to avoid running back and forth:
- Printed Application Form: 2-3 copies of the form you just downloaded.
- Passport Size Photographs: 2-3 recent, lab-printed, passport-size photos. Your college will specify if they need to be attested.
- Registration Card: A clear photocopy of your NU Registration Card.
- 1st Year Admit Card & Marksheet: Photocopies of your 1st Year Admit Card and the online marksheet/result card.
- Proof of Payment: The printed receipt from Sonali Seba or the bank deposit slip.
- College ID Card: A photocopy of your college ID.
Put everything in a nice, neat file. It makes a good impression and keeps you organized!
What to Do After Submitting the Form at Your College
Once you’ve handed over your documents, the college officials will verify everything. They’ll sign your form and keep their copy. Usually, they will return a signed student’s copy to you.
KEEP THIS COPY SAFE! This is your proof that you have completed the form fill-up process. Don’t lose it.
After this, your job is mostly done. The college will then approve your application online, and you just have to wait for the admit card to be released.
Common Mistakes to Avoid During Form Fill Up
Every year, some students run into trouble because of small, avoidable mistakes. Let’s make sure you’re not one of them.
Dealing with Incorrect Subject Codes
Problem: You see a wrong subject listed on your online form.
Solution: DO NOT SUBMIT THE FORM. Immediately stop what you’re doing. Go to your college’s department or examination office and inform them about the issue. They have the ability to correct it from their end. Once they fix it, you can log in again and proceed.
Solving Payment Confirmation Issues
Problem: You’ve paid the fee, but the NU portal still shows ‘unpaid’.
Solution: Don’t panic. Sometimes, it takes 24-48 hours for the payment to be updated in the system. Wait for a day. If it’s still not updated, contact your college with your payment receipt (the Sonali Seba transaction ID is very important here). They can coordinate with the university to resolve it.
What to Do If You Enter Wrong Information
Problem: You submitted the form but realized you entered the wrong mobile number or made another small mistake.
Solution: If you’ve just submitted the online part but haven’t submitted the papers to your college, you might still have a chance. Talk to your college department immediately. They have a certain window to make corrections. If the college has already approved your form, it becomes much more difficult and may require a formal application to the university, which is a lot of hassle. So, the key is: CHECK EVERYTHING BEFORE SUBMITTING.
What Happens After Form Fill Up?
You’ve done it! The form is filled, the fees are paid, and the documents are submitted. Now what? The waiting game begins, but there are a few things to keep an eye on.
How to Check Your Application Status
Your college is responsible for verifying and approving your application. While there isn’t usually a public-facing portal for students to check the live status, you can be confident that if you’ve submitted everything correctly and received your student’s copy back, the process is on track. If you’re really worried, you can check in with your department office a week or so after the college submission deadline.
When to Expect Your Admit Card
The admit card is your hall ticket for the exam. It’s the most important document you’ll need on exam day. Typically, the National University issues admit cards about 2-3 weeks before the exam routine is published. Your college will download the admit cards for all students, put the principal’s seal and signature on them, and then distribute them to you. Keep an eye on your college notice board or website for the distribution schedule.
Preparing for the Upcoming Exam
With the form fill-up out of the way, your entire focus should shift to one thing: preparation. Don’t wait for the routine to be published to start studying.
- Gather your notes and suggestions.
- Solve previous years’ questions. This is the best way to understand the NU question patterns.
- Make a study routine and stick to it.
The 2nd-year exams are a significant step in your Honours journey. Give it your best shot!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Here are some quick answers to the questions that pop up every single year.
What if I miss the form fill up deadline?
Unfortunately, if you miss the official deadline set by NU, there is usually no way to apply. The online server closes, and that’s it. Sometimes, the university might grant a 1-2 day extension with a late fee, but you should never, ever rely on this. Missing the deadline means you’ll likely have to wait until the next year to sit for the exam as an irregular student, losing a whole year.
Can I correct my information after submitting the online form?
As mentioned earlier, it’s very difficult. Minor corrections (like a mobile number) might be possible through your college if you catch it immediately. However, major changes to your name or subjects are almost impossible after final submission and college approval. The golden rule is to be extremely careful during the initial verification step.
I failed in a 1st-year subject, can I still fill the 2nd-year form?
Yes, absolutely. According to NU promotion rules, you can be promoted to the 2nd year even if you have an ‘F’ grade in one or more 1st-year subjects (up to a certain number of credits, check the latest promotion rules). You will fill the 2nd-year form for your regular subjects, and you will also have to fill a separate form (or include in the same form, depending on the system) to retake the failed 1st-year subject(s). You will sit for those exams along with the next batch of 1st-year students.
How can I recover my forgotten registration number?
Your registration number is your unique identity at NU. You should have a physical registration card issued by the university. If you’ve lost it, check your 1st-year admit card. If you’ve lost that too, your best bet is to contact your college’s administration or exam office. They have a record of all their students’ registration numbers.
What should I do if my payment is deducted but not showing as successful?
This is a common technical glitch. First, save all details of the transaction: your transaction ID, the time of payment, and a screenshot of the debit message from your bank or mobile banking service. Wait for 24 hours. If the status doesn’t change, go to your college with all the proof. They will be able to help you resolve the issue with the university’s finance department.
Conclusion
And there you have it! The A-to-Z guide for your Honours 2nd Year Form Fill Up 2025. See? It’s not so scary when you break it down into small, manageable steps. The key is to stay informed, be careful with your details, and most importantly, don’t wait until the last minute.
