What the Registration Card is and what happens if it has errors
Students need this card at many stages of their academic life. The information on the Registration Card plays an important role in exam participation, result verification, the provisional certificate, the original certificate and other academic activities.
However, errors are often found on a Registration Card, such as in the student's own name, the parents' names or other details. If these errors are not corrected in time, students may face serious trouble later.
Documents required to correct a Registration Card
The documents needed may vary depending on the type of correction. It is generally a good idea to keep the following ready:
- Photocopy of the Registration Card.
- The student's SSC certificate (corrected).
- The student's HSC certificate (corrected).
- The correction letter from the Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board.
- A copy of the birth registration certificate (if available).
- A copy of the National ID card.
- The ID card of the relevant guardian, if the correction concerns a parent's name.
- The correction application on the prescribed form (download the form here).
Application fee and payment
The application fee for Registration Card correction is Tk 707, payable as a bank draft. The fee can also be paid through mobile banking (bKash, Nagad, etc.) or by debit/credit card.
How long does it take to correct a Registration Card?
How long a Registration Card correction takes depends mainly on the type of error and how complicated the correction is.
Name errors on a Registration Card are generally of two kinds.
1. Spelling mistake
A minor mistake in the spelling of the student's own name or a parent's name is treated as a spelling mistake.
For example:
- One or two letters of the name being wrong.
- Inconsistency in the Bangla or English spelling.
- A small change being needed in the spelling of the name.
Correcting this kind of mistake can generally take 7 to 15 working days. This is not a guaranteed time limit.
2. Addition or deletion of a name
If part of the student's name is missing, a new part needs to be added, or a major change to the name is needed, it is treated as a comparatively complex correction.
Such applications may need closer scrutiny by the relevant authority.
Such applications are reviewed at a meeting of board members at the relevant office of National University. The student generally does not need to attend the meeting in person.
Depending on the type of correction and the administrative process, these applications can take 1 to 2 months or even longer.
These are estimated times only and may vary from application to application.
