When Does NU Publish Results?
This is the question every student asks — and the honest answer is: it takes time, and for good reason. This entire pipeline typically takes 2 to 3 months from the day the exam ends.
Here is the current 2026 result schedule:
| Program | Exam Duration (Held) | Result Status / Expected Date |
|---|---|---|
| Honours 2nd Year (2024) | Oct 18 – Dec 07, 2025 | Published: March 11, 2026 |

NU Result CGPA, Marksheet & Grading System
Your marksheet is available on the result portal right after publication. Occasionally it appears 2–4 hours later than the initial result — this is normal, just check back shortly after.
Your detailed marksheet — showing every subject’s marks, letter grade, and grade point — is available on the same page where your result loads at results.nu.ac.bd. Follow the same steps as the result check process above. The marksheet loads automatically along with your result.
NU Grading Scale – Complete Table
| Marks Range | Letter Grade | Grade Point | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| 80 – 100 | A+ | 4.00 | Pass |
| 75 – 79 | A | 3.75 | Pass |
| 70 – 74 | A- | 3.50 | Pass |
| 65 – 69 | B+ | 3.25 | Pass |
| 60 – 64 | B | 3.00 | Pass |
| 55 – 59 | B- | 2.75 | Pass |
| 50 – 54 | C+ | 2.50 | Pass |
| 45 – 49 | C | 2.25 | Pass |
| 40 – 44 | D | 2.00 | Pass |
| 0 – 39 | F | 0.00 | Fail |
The minimum passing mark is 40 in every individual subject. Scoring below 40 in even one subject results in an F grade for that subject — regardless of how well you performed in others.
Your result will carry one of three status labels:
✅ Promoted — You passed all subjects with the required grades.
⚠️ Conditionally Promoted — You passed overall but one or more subjects were cleared through grace marks applied by the university. You can move to 4th Year, but you may need to clear those conditions through an improvement exam depending on current NU policy.
❌ Not Promoted — You did not meet the minimum passing requirement in one or more subjects, even after grace consideration. You will need to repeat 3rd Year or appear in the improvement/special exam.
NU Result Rescrutiny 2026
If your result genuinely surprised you — especially in a subject where you were well-prepared — you have the right to officially challenge it. National University provides a formal re-scrutiny (পুনর্নিরীক্ষণ) process for exactly this situation.
What Does Re-scrutiny Actually Check?
Re-scrutiny is not a fresh re-evaluation of your answers. It is a targeted verification that checks four specific things:
- ✅ Whether the examiner marked all questions on your script
- ✅ Whether all marks were correctly totalled on the script itself
- ✅ Whether marks were accurately transferred from the script to the result database
- ✅ Whether any clerical or calculation error occurred during processing
