- Book your IELTS or HSK test early. Test dates fill up and scores must be ready by January.
- Get the medical form completed on the official Chinese template, in English, with a photo and hospital seal.
- Request police clearance within the six-month window, so do not collect it too early.
- Read our CSC scholarship guide for Bangladesh and the admission requirements page, and keep the deadlines in our intakes calendar in view.

Apply to NJU first. After you receive the pre-admission letter, upload it to the CSC system before 17 March 2027.
What happens if I miss the CSC date?
Nominees who do not complete the CSC application by 17 March 2027 are treated as having declined the nomination.
Does a pre-admission letter mean I have the scholarship?
No. CSC makes the final decision, and the university states that a nomination is not a guarantee.

Can I get another scholarship at the same time?
