Universities in Bangladesh play very important role in the over all development of the country. This is evident form the fact that the students and teachers of the Dhaka University which was established in the year 1921, was at the forefront of the national liberation struggle that led to the independence of the country. Other Universities of Bangladesh at both public sector and the private sector are also playing important role by not only providing degrees and thus producing quality human resources for various sectors of the economy, but also producing enlightened citizens an thus improving the quality of life in the society as a whole.
In order to solve the problem of accessibility of higher education the government of Bangladesh is allowing the establishment of private Universities in Bangladesh from 1992. However the University Grant Commission of Bangladesh would have the power to approve or reject the establishment of private Universities in Bangladesh. There are at present 54 private Universities in Bangladesh.
The University Grant Commission of Bangladesh would in fact be responsible for supervising and maintaining the quality of education in all the public and private Universities of Bangladesh, as it is the statutory apex body in the field of higher education in Bangladesh. Therefore it advises the govt. to improve the quality of higher education system in Bangladesh. It performs such other important functions like determining the financial needs of the Universities and disbursing the grants for their maintenance and development.
On this page we have tried to list all the Bangladesh Universities. It would include the list of both the General Universities of Bangladesh and other technical/ professional degree awarding institutes of Bangladesh of both the private and public sector.
