Step 1: Payment

Before applying online, you must pay the application fee (usually around 150 BDT) via mobile banking (bKash, Nagad, Rocket, Teletalk).

Step 2: Online Application

• Visit the official website.
• Log in with your SSC Roll, Registration Number, and Board.
• Select a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 10 colleges.
• Crucial Tip: Order your choices carefully. The system tries to give you your 1st choice first.

Step 3: Results and Migration

Results are published in three phases. If you don't get your first choice, you can opt for "Migration" which automatically tries to move you up your preference list if seats become available.

Strategy for College Selection

1. Check GPA Requirements: Don't apply to a college if your GPA is lower than their minimum requirement.
2. Location Matters: HSC is a stressful two years. Don't choose a college that requires 2 hours of commute.
