History

Before the independence of Bangladesh, the then Government of Pakistan, to meet the increasing demand of professional engineers for the national development, established Rajshahi Engineering College in 1964 as a faculty of engineering under the University of Rajshahi. It was the second engineering college established in the then East Pakistan. [5]

Rajshahi Engineering College ( was commonly known as REC) started its journey with only three departments: Mechanical Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering and Civil Engineering, offering bachelor's degree programs only. It accepted its first class of 120 students in the academic session of 1964–65 and the second class of like number in the academic session of 1965–66. The teaching faculty consisted of 19 faculty members at that time. [6]

After the independence of Bangladesh (1971), the administration of the college was controlled by the Ministry of Education of Bangladesh and academic curriculum was controlled by University of Rajshahi. However, the infrastructural development and maintenance was taken care of by the Public Works Department of Government of Bangladesh. To remove these kinds of aforesaid problems several committees and commissions were formed since 1973. On the recommendation of these committees and commissions, in 1986, Rajshahi Engineering College was converted to an institute and was named Bangladesh Institute of Technology (BIT), Rajshahi to enhance the technical education. [7]

In September, 2003, the institute was upgraded to a university and was named as Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET) to enhance the technical education and research. [8] From that time, the university is financed by the Government through the University Grants Commission (UGC) of Bangladesh. The university is an autonomous statutory organisation of the Government of Bangladesh functioning within the "Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology: Act 2003".

Campus

RUET is situated in the northern part of Bangladesh, in the city of Rajshahi— the educational center of North Bengal. [9] The RUET campus has been described as representing a "spectacular harmony of architecture and natural beauty". [10]

International conferences

For the last few years, RUET has been organising national and international conferences in its campus to enhance the research capabilities of its students and faculties. Among the conferences organised by RUET, the following ones are notable. [11]

Admission

Getting into this engineering university RUET, it appears as hard admission test to the aspiring candidates. Throughout Bangladesh after completing the higher secondary level every students have to fulfill the requirements. [15]

Undergraduate

The undergraduate admissions process begins after all education boards of the country declare the results of the Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) examinations. After initial assortment according to HSC result, a certain number of eligible candidates are shortlisted for an elaborate written test. [15] Usually application for admission start from September of each year, and an admission test is usually held in October or November as per decision of the admission committee.[ citation needed ] A total of 875 students were admitted in 2016. [16]

Post-graduate

Admission notices for the post-graduate program usually circulate once a year, in April. The notice is advertised on the university website. The list of valid candidates is published on the university website upon completion of the preliminary process and call for viva.[ citation needed ]

Facilities

Laboratories

Most of the newly established departments of the RUET have enough laboratory facilities. The older ones have enough laboratory facilities not only for academic research but also for consultancy services. [17] RUET is taking steps for establishing laboratory facilities for the newly established departments and for enhancing laboratory facilities for the older ones. [18]

Further development

In February, 2017, Executive Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC) has approved 3.40 billion Taka to implement a mega project for the RUET, aiming to well decorate and development the whole campus and its education and research. The ECNEC approved the project in the name of "Further Development Project of RUET". [27]

Organisations and clubs

Students of RUET are involved in different organisations and clubs of the university. Members of these organisations and clubs organise different national programs at RUET. [28] They also participate in different national and international competitions and shows indomitable performances. [29] Some of the leading organisations and clubs of RUET are mentioned here.
