Jashore or Jessore University of Science and Technology?
Jashore University of Science and Technology is the current official English name. “Jessore University of Science and Technology” is the older and still widely searched spelling. Both names refer to the same university, and no separate page is needed for the spelling variation.
The acronym JUST is used by the university in its website, admission portal and official communications.
Where is JUST located?
The main campus is beside Shadhinota Sarak, also known as the Jashore–Chowgacha Road, at Churamonkathi in Jashore Sadar. The university describes it as approximately 12 kilometres west of Jashore city, and its planning office describes the main campus as covering about 35 acres.
Use the complete university name and the official address when checking a current map or arranging transport. Travel time depends on the starting point and traffic, so it should not be treated as fixed.
For wider local context, see the Jessore city history guide.
Is every JUST faculty on the main campus?
No. The Faculty of Veterinary Medicine operates through a separate campus in Jhenaidah. Its official faculty page places it on the north side of the Jhenaidah–Chuadanga Highway, approximately nine kilometres west of Jhenaidah town.
The veterinary institution began as Jhenaidah Government Veterinary College and became a JUST faculty on 11 January 2023. Applicants should confirm the teaching and admission location for a veterinary program rather than travelling automatically to the Jashore main campus.

How does JUST admission work?
Undergraduate admission information can involve the GST integrated admission system and university-specific instructions. The exact process, eligibility, subject allocation, quotas, fees and dates change by session.
- Read the current instructions on the GST admission website.
- Open the official JUST admission portal.
- Read the eligibility and conditions for the relevant academic session.
- Check the available departments and any department-specific requirements.
- Complete subject choice, payment and final admission only within the official schedule.
- Keep copies of application, payment and confirmation records.
Physical Education and Sports Science or another specialised program may publish a separate examination, practical test or instruction. Do not assume that one procedure applies to every department.
For admission-related technical assistance, the official portal publishes admsupport@just.edu.bd.
Postgraduate and international admission
Master’s, MPhil, PhD and other postgraduate opportunities may be announced by individual faculties, departments or university offices. Check the official website and the relevant department page instead of relying on an undated third-party list.
International applicants should consult the university’s International Service Center for current eligibility, documents and support.
