KUET: All the facts nobody told you
Khulna University of Engineering & Technology, which is situated in Khulna, was established in 1967 as “Khulna Engineering College”. So initially, it was not founded as a university. You may wonder how an Engineering college was converted into a public university. Let’s take a sneak peek.
In 1971, the development activities came to a standstill because
of the war-state. After the liberation war, in 1974, the academic activities
were restart and got on track by the special direction of Bangabandhu Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman. In 1986, Khulna Engineering college converted into an
autonomous institution which name was BIT (Bangladesh Institute of Technology).
And finally, in 2003, the BIT (Khulna) gets its recognition as an Engineering
University after several successful movements. So, KUET has experienced so many
ups and downs along with the drastic transformation in 54 years of period.
Keeping the history of the evolution of KUET aside, let’s take a glance at its academic prospects. It has 20 departments under three faculties.

KUET is one of the planned and beautiful public universities in
Bangladesh. Anyone will reckon it as an oasis. The campus looks like a
party-house that lightens up with different outdoor colored lights when the
darkness grabs the campus after twilight. It unveils its ultimate beauty at
night. The tranquil evening when the classes or labs get over, the students
call it a day by singing songs, hanging out with friends, or sitting in the
library to prepare for the next days' lessons.
KUET offers world-class education by ensuring high-quality
classes, maintaining a standard level of education, and creating knowledge by
enforcing students into research. The graph of quality education in KUET is

When I see KUET, I see a thousand stories of thousand students.
You will find a vast diversity of the background of fellow students and get to
know life in a frame of a traveler. You will be astounded at seeing one of your
rich friends who couldn’t stand a second without an AC, is comfortably coping up

department. You will be enriched with the thousands of experiences of thousands

If you are reluctant about busy city life, then KUET is a

Khulna city. It is far away from the hustle and bustle of a city. The
environment of KUET is inspired from the ancient time when the practice of
knowledge used to be executed in a calm place.
KUET may not everyone’s dream engineering university. But it is
capable enough to make you capable to reach your dream. The most interesting
part of KUET is, there are so many “THE FIRST EVER KUETian TO ACCOMPLISH……..”
