Primeasia is among the few private universities offering BDS (dentistry) alongside Microbiology, Biochemistry, and Pharmacy. A focused guide for applicants in the life sciences.
Primeasia University was established in 2003 and runs from a permanent Banani campus on Star Tower (Kemal Ataturk Avenue), in the heart of north Dhaka. What sets it apart from most private universities of its generation is the depth of its life-sciences offering — particularly the BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery) program, which very few private universities in Bangladesh operate.
The Standout: Faculty of Medicine
- BDS (5 years): Five-year dentistry program with affiliated dental hospital practice. BDS programs in private Bangladesh are tightly regulated by the BMDC (Bangladesh Medical and Dental Council), and only a small number of private institutions are authorised. Primeasia is one of them.
- Microbiology: Lab-intensive curriculum.
- Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: Among the older private programs in this discipline.
- Pharmacy (5 years): B.Pharm program with industry placement.
Other Programs
- CSE, EEE: Standard mid-size engineering programs.
- Architecture (5 years): Smaller program, accredited.
- BBA, Economics: Conventional curriculum.
- Public Health: Newer program with cross-disciplinary coursework.
BDS Specifics
If you are considering BDS, the regulatory frame is what matters most:- BMDC approval is mandatory for practice; verify current Primeasia BDS approval status before applying.
- Five-year program plus mandatory one-year internship at the affiliated dental hospital.
- Total cost of a private BDS in Bangladesh typically lands between 16,00,000 and 22,00,000 BDT — Primeasia falls within this band.
Admission Test
- For most undergraduate programs: in-house written test (English, Math, subject section).

- BBA: Combined GPA 6.50.
Cost
- BDS (5 years + internship): 16,00,000 – 22,00,000 BDT.

Who Primeasia Fits
Applicants who specifically want BDS in the private sector, or who want a credible undergraduate program in Microbiology, Biochemistry, or Pharmacy at a moderate price point. For BDS especially, the regulatory frame and the affiliated dental hospital matter far more than marketing, and Primeasia is one of the established options.Extra decision guide for Primeasia University Admission Guide 2026: Banani Campus, BDS Program & Life Sciences
This section is added so the article can stand on its own for students who arrive from search or an AdSense review crawl. Before acting on any admission information, compare the advice here with the latest official notice from the relevant university, admission portal, UGC, DGME, or ministry website. Dates, eligibility, seat numbers, fees, and subject requirements can change between sessions.How to verify the information
Open the official website first and check the current circular, application deadline, payment method, admit-card instruction, and result or preference process. Then compare those facts with your own SSC/HSC group, GPA, subject background, location, family budget, and career goal. If a coaching page or social post says something different from the official notice, treat the official notice as final.How to use this article
Read the article once for the big picture, then turn it into a checklist. Write down the subjects or departments you are considering, the documents you need, the chapters you must revise, and the risks you should avoid. For exam preparation topics, take one timed practice set after reading and review every wrong answer. For university or subject-choice topics, compare at least three options before making a preference order.Common student mistakes
Students often make three mistakes: they rely on old circulars, they choose based only on reputation, and they skip review after practice tests. A stronger approach is to keep one official-source notebook, one mistake notebook, and one preference list. Update these after every notice, model test, or conversation with a current student.Final checklist
- Verify the latest official circular before applying.- Check eligibility and subject requirements yourself.
- Keep deadline, payment, and admit-card dates in one place.
- Review mistakes before taking another full test.
- Choose subjects or colleges by fit, cost, location, and long-term plan, not only by popularity.
