1. Requirements for a 50% Tuition Waiver
While specific rules vary by university, a 50% waiver is typically awarded based on: [1]
Academic Merit (At Admission): Usually awarded to students with a combination of exceptional GPAs in their SSC and HSC exams (e.g., a combined GPA of 8.00 without the 4th subject) or high scores on the university's admission test. [1, 2, 3]
Merit (In-Program): Many universities, such as IUBAT, offer a 50% merit-based scholarship for currently enrolled students who achieve a perfect semester GPA. [1]
Special Categories: A 50% waiver is often applied for divisional-level sports/cultural achievers, certain disability levels, or children of employees. [1, 2, 3]
2. General Conditions to Maintain the 50% Waiver
Once you receive the waiver, it is rarely automatic. To continue the 50% benefit, you will generally need to: [1]
Maintain a minimum semester GPA or CGPA (typically 3.00 to 3.50, depending on the university).
Complete a minimum number of credit hours per semester (usually between 9 to 12 credits).
Avoid dropping semesters or taking unauthorized leave. [1, 2]
3. Universities Offering 50% Waivers
A large number of private universities offer 50% waivers either at entry or upon excellent semester results. Some prominent institutions include: [1]
United International University (UIU)
University of Asia Pacific (UAP)
Eastern University
University of Creative Technology, Chittagong (UCTC) [1, 2, 3, 4]
