About Dhaka National Medical College
Dhaka National Medical College is one of the older private medical colleges in Bangladesh, established in 1994. It’s located on Johnson Road in Old Dhaka, which puts it right in one of the busiest, most historic parts of the city. It runs the standard 5-year MBBS course, admitting foreign students each session, and this particular circular is for Batch N-33, session 2026-2027.

The Official Fee Structure — Session 2026-2027
Here’s something worth knowing upfront. Unlike some other colleges we’ve reviewed, this DNMC letter doesn’t print one single grand total anywhere on the page. It lists the admission fee installments as one subtotal, and the monthly tuition as a completely separate line. We’ve added them together below so you can see the real full picture, but we want to be honest that this specific total is our own calculation, not something printed in the letter itself.
| Payment Date | Amount (USD) |
|---|---|
| 1st Installment / Booking Money | $10,000 |
| 2nd Installment (at time of admission) | $10,000 |
| 3rd Installment — by December 2027 | $2,000 |
| 4th Installment — by September 2028 | $2,000 |
| 5th Installment — by September 2029 | $2,000 |
| 6th Installment — by September 2030 | $2,000 |
| 7th Installment — by September 2031 | $2,000 |
| Tuition Fees ($300/month × 60 months) | $18,000 |
| OUR CALCULATED TOTAL | $48,000 |
Math check: $10,000 + $10,000 + ($2,000 × 5) + $18,000 = $20,000 + $10,000 + $18,000 = $48,000. This is our addition of every fee line in the letter, not a figure printed by the college itself.
Hostel Charges — Set Separately From the Course Fee
Hostel is billed completely separately from everything above, and the letter gives an exact per-month rate depending on room type.
| Room Type | Monthly Rate (BDT) |
|---|---|
| Boys — Double Bedded AC Room | ৳12,700 each |
| Boys — Triple Bedded Non-AC Room | ৳5,200 each |
| Girls — Double Bedded Room | ৳6,700 each |
| Girls — Triple Bedded Room | ৳5,700 each |
Electricity is billed separately from the hostel charge itself, on top of whatever room rate applies. And here’s something worth flagging directly, the letter states hostel fees are set by the college authority and can change “as per need,” so treat these numbers as the rate at the time this circular was issued, not a fixed promise for all five years.
Terms Every Family Needs to Read Properly
Tuition continues if you don’t clear finals on time. The letter states plainly that if a student fails to qualify in the final professional examination, their monthly tuition of $300 keeps being charged per BM&DC rules, until they clear it. No tuition is charged once you’ve appeared for your final professional MBBS exam.
Professional exam fees, government tax, and VAT: all paid separately by the student, not included anywhere above.
Session loss: if you lose a session for any reason, you’re responsible for that year’s tuition, hostel, and other charges.
Food and hostel cost: entirely at the student’s own expense, and the rate is set by the college and can change.
No refund at any level, ever. The letter states this directly, no money is refunded after cancellation of admission, at any stage.
Payment method: foreign remittance to the college’s specified bank, or through their online payment system.
The DGME equivalence clause, and this one matters a lot. The letter states that “consultants” are responsible for securing the student’s Equivalence Certificate from DG Health on time. If that certificate isn’t secured on time, the college takes no responsibility, and the letter states plainly that all payment from the student, and the consultant’s own incentives, will be forfeited.
This is one of the more serious clauses we’ve come across in any circular we’ve reviewed. It means the entire $48,000 depends on someone correctly handling a piece of government paperwork on schedule. Always know exactly who’s tracking your DGME equivalence process, don’t assume it’s automatically being handled. This is one of the specific things we personally follow up on for every student we guide, because a missed deadline here isn’t a small mistake, it’s your entire admission at risk.
Bank Payment
The letter specifies that all admission fee payments must be made as foreign remittance to the college’s specified bank, in favour of Dhaka National Medical College, Dhaka, Bangladesh, or through their online payment system. It doesn’t print a specific account number on this particular page, so confirm the exact bank details directly with the college’s official accounts office before sending any payment, and always pay directly from your own family account, never through a third party.

DNMC is a genuinely established college, running since 1994, which puts it among the older private options in Bangladesh. That kind of history usually means the administrative processes are well worn-in, though I haven’t personally visited this campus the way I have some others, so I want to be upfront that this review is based entirely on the circular, not on-the-ground experience.
The fee structure here is more scattered across the document than most others we’ve reviewed, tuition sits as a separate line from the installment schedule, and there’s no single printed grand total anywhere. That’s not necessarily a red flag, but it does mean a family needs to add things up carefully themselves rather than relying on one clean number, which is exactly what we’ve done here.
The DGME equivalence forfeiture clause is the one thing I’d want every family to sit with properly before signing anything. It’s written in serious, direct language, and it puts real financial risk on the family if that specific piece of paperwork isn’t tracked correctly. Ask the college directly who is responsible for this in your specific case, and get it in writing.
