 Activities at AIUB for Women’s Application and Entry

1. AIUB Admission Process and Women’s Application Tracking

At the American International University–Bangladesh (AIUB), admissions are conducted three times a year—Spring, Summer, and Fall. For each semester, AIUB issues an open and transparent admission call through its official online platform, inviting applications from all eligible students regardless of gender. From the pool of submitted applications, the university systematically tracks and measures the proportion of female applicants, providing an essential indicator of women’s access at the initial stage of entry.

2. Admission Result and Tracking Women’s Acceptance and Entry Rates

Following the admission test and evaluation process, AIUB publishes the list of qualified candidates online in a transparent manner. The institution then analyzes both the preliminary and final admission outcomes to determine the acceptance and entry rates of women. These data points reflect how many female applicants successfully transition from application to enrollment, serving as a key measure of gender inclusivity within the admission system.
