The combined cluster admission test of Bangladesh's agricultural universities for the 2026-27 academic year will be held on 2 January 2027, and Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU) will organise, conduct and coordinate it this time. The decision in principle was taken at a meeting of the vice-chancellors of the cluster universities on Monday, 7 September, which discussed the management, coordination and conduct of the examination in detail.

SAU's public relations and publications office said every preparation would be made to hold the test fairly, transparently, impartially and without disruption, and that the application procedure, eligibility, number of seats, timetable, marks distribution, centres and other details would be published officially in due course.

The cluster test is the single gateway to the country's agricultural and agriculture-related universities, letting a candidate compete for seats across the cluster on one examination. SAU said it intends, with the cooperation of all concerned, to complete the 2026-27 test successfully and in an orderly and acceptable manner.
