Brief
Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (বাংলাদেশ প্রকৌশল বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়), commonly known as BUET (বুয়েট), is a Public Engineering University in Bangladesh. It is the oldest Engineering institution in the region.
In this institution, every year around 1000 students get enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate programs to study engineering, architecture, and planning. In undergraduate admission test, only about top 17% students can get admitted among 8,000 selected candidates. The total number of teachers are about 500. The University has continued to expand over the last three decades. This includes the construction of new academic buildings, auditorium complex, halls of residence.
“Dhaka Survey School” was established in 1876 as a survey school at Nalgola, in Old Dhaka to train surveyors for the then Government of Bengal of Hindustan. Later, generous grants from Nawab Ahsanullah, a renowned Muslim patron of education and member of the Nawab family of Dhaka, enabled it to expand as a full-fledged engineering school. In recognition of this contribution, the school was renamed to “Ahsanullah School of Engineering”. It offered three-year diploma courses in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. It was moved to its present premises in 1912.
After the partition of India in 1947, it was upgraded to “Ahsanullah Engineering College”, as a Faculty of Engineering under the University of Dhaka, offering four-year bachelor’s course in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical and Metallurgical engineering.
In 1962, it was renamed as East Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology (EPUET). A partnership with the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (renamed Texas A&M University in 1963) was forged, and professors from A&M came to teach and to formulate the curriculum. During this period, EPUET offered courses in Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Metallurgical, Chemical engineering and Architecture. After the liberation war of 1971, Bangladesh became independent, and EPUET was renamed to Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).
Several more departments to offer graduate and undergraduate courses in different subjects- Water Resources Engineering, Naval architecture & Marine engineering, Industrial & Production Engineering, Petroleum & Mineral Resources Engineering, Computer Science & Engineering, Glass and Ceramic Engineering- were included in the university at different times. In 2007, BUET celebrated 60 years (1947-2007) of engineering education in Bangladesh by arranging a 6 month long series of programs and events.

This school was named after Ishwar Chandra Ray Chowdhury, one of the famous Zamindars in Baliati. According to the locals, this school was found by Horendra Kumar Ray in the year 1915-1916. From the history, it can be said that Horendra Kumar Ray was the Son of Ishwar Chandra Ray Chowdhury. Once, this school was named as Ishwar Chandra English High School, but in later time, the name has been changed.
It is said that Horendra Kumar Ray Chowdhury spent around fifty thousands taka at that time to build this ornamented & large school building. which was certainly a big amount to pay at that contemporary time. In recent time, this school has been conducted by a committee consisting of local people.

The university was founded by the Government of Bangladesh according to a university act in 1986 to give special importance in science and technology education. It is the first specialized science & technology university of the country. After SUST, seven more science and technology universities have been established in Bangladesh.
SUST is traditionally known for research and education in the physical sciences and engineering. It is one of the most selective higher learning institutions, and received 40,881 undergraduate applicants for 2012-2013 session—only admitting 1,385, an acceptance rate of 3.39%.
Shahjalal University of Science and Technology was established in 1986. The campus is located in Kumargaon, approximately five kilometers away from the heart of Sylhet City Centre. The university started its academic programme with three departments: physics, chemistry and economics. The first convocation of SUST was held on 29 April 1998 and the second convocation held on 6 December 2007.
SUST is the first university in Bangladesh providing whole campus free Wi-Fi access for students & staffs. The university introduced an integrated honors course for the first time in Bangladesh and it introduced the semester system (American credit system) from the 1996-97 session. According to the masterplan for the university, within a few years Shahjalal University of Science and Technology will be one of the finest institutions of the region.
The university students invented and introduced the paperless 24/7 SMS Based Automated Registration of Admission Test procedure for the first time in Bangladesh. Interested students can complete the registration process through mobile phone messages. The contemporary government launched the system on 13 September 2009. For the invention, the University won an Ambillion Award in a competition of South Asian countries in 2010 and National Award for E-Content and ICT for Development Award 2010. Now, most of the public universities in Bangladesh have adopted this process of registration.
{:}{:bn}শাহজালাল বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় (শাবিপ্রবি) হল বাংলাদেশের সিলেটে অবস্থিত একটি সরকারি অলাভজনক গবেষণা নির্ভর বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়। বাংলাদেশে পিএইচডি ডিগ্রী দানকারী ৯ টি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের একটি হল এটি।
বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তির প্রতি গুরুত্ব প্রদানের অংশ হিসেবে বাংলাদেশ সরকার ১৯৮৬ সালে এই বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়টি প্রতিষ্ঠা করে। পদার্থ, রসায়ন ও অর্থনীতি বিভাগ নিয়ে যাত্রা শুরু করা এই বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের প্রথম ও দ্বিতীয় সমাবর্তন যথাক্রমে ২৯ এপ্রিল ১৯৯৮ এবং ৬ ডিসেম্বর ২০০৭ তারিখে অনুষ্ঠিত হয়। বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তিতে বিশেষায়িত দেশের প্রথম বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় হল এটি। শাবিপ্রবির পর দেশে আরও সাতটি বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় প্রতিষ্ঠা করা হয়।
পদার্থ বিজ্ঞান ও প্রযুক্তির ওপর পড়াশোনা এবং গবেষণা করার সুযোগ প্রদানের কারনে শাবিপ্রবির রয়েছে আলাদা সুনাম। মেধার চুলচেরা বিশ্লেষণ এবং তীব্র প্রতিযোগিতার কারনে এই বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে ভর্তি হওয়া খুবই কষ্টসাধ্য। ২০১২-১৩ শিক্ষা বছরে এই বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ে ভর্তি হতে ইচ্ছুক মোট ৪০,৮৮১ জন দরখাস্তকারীর মধ্যে ১৩৮৫ জন ভর্তির সুযোগ লাভ করে।
বাংলাদেশের প্রথম বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় হিসেবে শাবিপ্রবি ছাত্র, কর্মচারীদের জন্য পুরো ক্যাম্পাসে ওয়াইফাই প্রযুক্তি চালু করে। এছাড়াও দেশে প্রথমবারের মত এই বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় সমষ্টিগত অনার্স কোর্স চালু করে এবং ১৯৯৬-৭ শিক্ষাবছর থেকে সেমিস্টার পদ্ধতিতে পাঠদান শুরু করে। বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের মহা পরিকল্পনা অনুযায়ী অচিরেই এই বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়টি অত্র অঞ্চলের সেরা বিদ্যাপীঠে পরিনত হবে।
এই বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়ের শিক্ষার্থীরা ভর্তি পরীক্ষার সময় মোবাইল ফোনে এসএমএসের মাধ্যমে স্বয়ংক্রিয়ভাবে নিবন্ধনের প্রক্রিয়া উদ্ভাবন করে। ২০০৯ সালের ১৩ সেপ্টেম্বর তৎকালীন সরকার এই প্রক্রিয়াটি চালু করেন। বর্তমানে বেশীর ভাগ সরকারি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়তেই এই স্বয়ংক্রিয় প্রক্রিয়ায় নিবন্ধন করা হয়ে থাকে। এই উদ্ভাবনের স্বীকৃতিস্বরূপ শাবিপ্রবি ২০১০ সালে দেশে বিদেশে বিভিন্ন পুরস্কার অর্জন করেছে।{:}

Mawlana Bhashani Science and Technology University (MBSTU) was established at Santosh, Tangail in 1999 with a view to provide modern and scientific knowledge through high quality education to the students. Today's MBSTU is the outcome of the dream which had been dreamt by Mawlana Bhashani long ago. The students are educated in such a way, that they would also have knowledge on life history of Mawlana Bhashani and his social & political activities, ethics. In the true spirit of interdisciplinary approach, the students would, therefore, emerge as professionals with a humane outlook towards life.
On 21 November 2002 Prof. Dr. Md. Yusuf Sharif Ahmed Khan had been appointed as the first Vice Chancellor of the university and finally MBSTU started running officially with only two departments -Information and Communication Technology (ICT) & Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) under the first faculty of the university, which is the Faculty of Computer Science & Engineering. MBSTU had started its first academic activities with a total of 83 students and 5 teachers of the CSE faculty on 25 October 2003. After about eight months of academic duration of the university, two new departments were opened - Environmental Science & Resource Management (ESRM) and Criminology & Police Science (CPS) under the second faculty of the university, which is the Faculty of Life Science.
In the 2005-2006 academic session, three more departments were opened. These newly added departments were - Textile Engineering (TE), under the Faculty of Computer Science & Engineering and Biotechnology & Genetic Engineering (BGE), Food Technology & Nutritional Science (FTNS), under the Faculty of Life Science.In the 2010-2011 academic session, four more departments were added under the two newly opened faculties - the Faculty of Business Studies and the Faculty of General Science. These departments were, Bachelor of Business Administration, under the Faculty of Business Studies; Mathematics and Statistics, Chemistry & Physics, under the Faculty of General Science.
