Published details

Masters Preliminary Result 2026

Preliminary exists because the degree pass course runs for three years while honours runs for four. The Preliminary year covers the ground honours students already did in their fourth year, which is why the syllabus feels dense and the course list is heavier than the final year itself. Only students who pass Preliminary can fill up the Masters Final form, so a failed course here stops the whole programme rather than being carried forward.

Step by step

How to check Masters Preliminary Result

Preliminary results decide whether you can fill up the Masters Final form, so check the course grades, not only the pass line.

Check online

Every course, every grade point, and the CGPA in one sheet.

  1. Open results.nu.ac.bd

    Open it on a phone, a laptop or a cyber cafe machine. Expect it to be slow for the first hour after Masters Preliminary is released.

  2. Choose Masters Preliminary

    Pick the right course group first, then the year. Selecting the wrong year is the usual cause of a result not found message.

  3. Enter your roll or registration number

    Copy the number exactly as printed on your admit card, with no spaces or dashes.

  4. Select the exam year

    Choose the year printed on your admit card — the exam year for the 2023-24 session, not your registration year.

  5. Press search

    Your name, roll, course grades and CGPA appear. Save a screenshot or print the page.

Check by SMS

Costs one SMS and needs no data pack at all.

  1. Open your message app

    Any handset will do. A basic button phone sends this as well as a smartphone.

  2. Type NU MP and your roll

    For Masters Preliminary the format is NU MP 123456, using your own roll number.

  3. Send to 16222

    16222 belongs to the university and every Bangladeshi operator can send to it. Do not add a country code.

  4. Read the reply

    The gateway answers with a brief summary. Give it a few minutes before deciding it has failed.

If the reply does not come

  • Check the spelling. It is NU, one space, MP, one space, then the roll — nothing else.
  • Send the roll number, not the registration number. The gateway only understands rolls.
  • The gateway holds no data until the result is officially released, so an empty reply may just mean you are early.
  • Give it a quarter of an hour before trying again. The queue clears on its own.

Grades, points and CGPA

Masters Preliminary Result with Marksheet

Every Preliminary course must be passed before the Masters Final form fill-up opens.

  1. Open the result server

    Go to results.nu.ac.bd and choose Masters Preliminary.

  2. Use your registration number

    Use the registration number here — the long number on your registration card, not the Masters Preliminary roll.

  3. Select the exam year and search

    The sheet opens with your name, college, every course, its letter grade and its grade point.

  4. Read the grade column

    Scan each row before celebrating. A single F changes what you have to do next year.

  5. Save or print it

    Screenshot it now. The server does not keep old Masters Preliminary sheets reachable forever.

Board challenge

Masters Preliminary Revaluation Application

If a grade looks far below what you expected, you can pay to have the script re-checked. Because Preliminary blocks the next year, apply for a board challenge as soon as the window opens rather than waiting.

Starts With the result notice
Last date 15–20 days after publication
Fee per course BDT 1,000
Applies through Your college
PublishedApplication open

How to apply

  1. Read the revaluation notice

    It names the exam, the courses that can be challenged, the last date and the fee.

  2. Open the application form

    Use the board challenge option for Masters Preliminary on the National University portal.

  3. Select only the courses you doubt

    You pay for each course separately, so choose the ones where the grade is genuinely surprising.

  4. Download the pay slip

    Keep the application number printed on it. You need it for payment and for follow-up.

  5. Pay the fee

    Through the channel named in the notice — Sonali Seba at a bank branch, or the mobile option if the notice allows it.

  6. Hand the copy to your college

    Colleges set their own internal deadline, always earlier than the university one. Do not leave it to the last day.

Open the application portal

Paying the fee

Follow the notice for payment. No official ever collects a revaluation fee for Masters Preliminary by phone or bKash personal number.

  • Sonali Seba Print the slip and pay at any Sonali Bank branch. Keep the stamped student copy.
  • Mobile banking bKash, Rocket or Nagad, where the portal shows the option for your exam.
  • Through the college Some colleges collect and pay in bulk. Ask your department before paying alone.

Worth knowing first

  • Revaluation re-checks the addition and any unmarked answer. It is not a fresh evaluation.
  • Most applications end with no change, and the fee is not refunded.
  • The revaluation result is final. There is no second appeal.
  • Keep filling up the form for your next year while the challenge is pending.

  2. Download the PDF

    The Masters Preliminary PDF lists only the roll numbers whose marks were actually corrected.

  3. Search your roll number

    A missing roll means the examiners confirmed the first marking of your Masters Preliminary script.

  5. Roll listed

    Search your roll on the result site again and the updated Masters Preliminary CGPA will be there.

Asked by students

Masters Preliminary Result — common questions

Degree pass graduates. Students who finished a four year honours course go straight into Masters Final.

Normally one academic session, but it depends on the university's exam calendar for your subject. Watch the form fill-up notice.
