Starting in 2019, all public agricultural universities adopted a cluster system for undergraduate admissions. Under the system, an annual integrated entry exam takes place simultaneously at multiple locations around the country. In October 2024, 51,836 candidates sat the exam for 3,718 available seats. Of those, 1,116 seats were at BAU, with the remainder spread among the other public universities offering agricultural degrees. After the exam, BAU's academic council decided to pull the university out of the cluster admissions system. At the request of the Ministry of Education, the university agreed to continue with the cluster system for the 2024-2025 academic year to avoid confusion and disruption.

BAU charges admission and residential hall fees, plus variable fees for each semester. There are different fees at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and different ones for international students.
