Bangladesh runs its German exams through the Goethe-Institut in Dhanmondi, Dhaka. It covers the full Goethe-Zertifikat ladder from A1 to C2, TestDaF for university admission and the Goethe-Test PRO for the workplace. With one centre for the whole country, the registration window matters more than the exam date.

We do not publish individual sitting dates: they change too often to be safe. Follow the centre link for the current calendar.
Before you book
Dhaka is the only verified exam location in Bangladesh. From Chattogram, Sylhet or Rajshahi that means travel and probably a night, so book the date and the journey together rather than assuming another sitting is close behind.
Spouses joining a partner in Germany normally need Goethe-Zertifikat A1: Start Deutsch 1. It is the most-booked exam here and the first to fill, so treat the registration window as your real deadline.
Vocational training contracts usually ask for B1 and nursing recognition for B2. Both run in Dhaka, so no candidate needs to leave the country for the level itself - only for a date, if the local calendar is full.
The institute offers TestDaF, but registration runs through testdaf.de rather than the institute counter, on six fixed dates a year with places allocated in the order they arrive.
Sitting the exam abroad usually means one shot and a long wait for the next date. Practise in the real format first - Goethe, telc or DTZ - and let the analytics show which module still needs the weeks you have left.
FAQ
At the Goethe-Institut, House 10, Road 9, Dhanmondi R/A, Dhaka 1205, opposite Dhanmondi Math. It examines the full Goethe-Zertifikat range from A1 to C2 plus TestDaF and the Goethe-Test PRO.
Normally Goethe-Zertifikat A1: Start Deutsch 1, which proves basic German for a spouse joining a partner in Germany. Confirm the requirement in writing with the German mission handling your file before you pay for a sitting.
We checked telc’s own centre register and it lists no examination centre in Bangladesh, and we could not verify one independently. Treat that as “none found” rather than “none exists”: the register lags reality in places - Vietnam has two licensed telc centres that do not appear in it - and ÖSD publishes no register we can read. If you know of a centre here, send us the link to its exam page and we will check it and add it.
Not at any location we have been able to verify. We publish a centre once it is confirmed on its own website rather than listing a city with nothing behind it, so tell us if you know of one.
The exam boards maintain their own centre finders. They are the authoritative list.
