Rajshahi the silk city and the holy land of saint Shah Makhdum (R), in one of the oldest city of Bangladesh, is familiar by the name of “Education City”. Rajshahi Polytechnic Institute is one of the prominant member of this “Education City”. It was established in 1962 with a few number of students in two technologies.

The institute is located in its own campus in Sopura, the industrial area of Silk City, at the north side of the Rajshai Stadium and Railway Station. The historic river Padma flows on the southern side of the city.

Rajshahi Polytechnic Institute offers Diploma-in-Engineering Courses in various technologies. Traditional departments like Civil, Mechanical and Electrical flourished here during its early days, recently the emergent technology like Electromedical and Mechatronic are flourishing fast. Earlier all diploma programmes were three years long but from 2000 all the programmes are standardized as four years. Graduated from the prestigious institute, thousands of diploma engineers are working both at home and abroad.

Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET)

Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET)

...............................................................................................................................................................................

Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (Bengali: রাজশাহী প্রকৌশল ও প্রযুক্তি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় (Rajshahi Prokoushol o Projukti Bishshobidyalôy)) or RUET (Bengali : রুয়েট), formerly known as BIT Rajshahi, is the second oldest engineering university in Bangladesh. It was founded in 1964 as a faculty of Engineering under the University of Rajshahi.

About 3000 students are enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate engineering and science programs with over 200 faculty members.

Location

...............................................................................................................................................................................

RUET is on the north side of Rajshahi-Natore-Dhaka road at Talaimari, Kazla, 4 kilometers east of the education city of Bangladesh, Rajshahi, on 152 acres (0.62 km²) of land.It is just beside the Octar mor. Known as green campus with a large varieties of trees, the campus is by the side of the Padma River and Rajshahi University.

History

...............................................................................................................................................................................

Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET) was founded in 1964 as a faculty of engineering with Professor Ahmad Ullah as its first principal, under the University of Rajshahi providing four-year bachelor's degrees in Civil, Electrical and Electronic and Mechanical Engineering. However, the institution could not achieve its goal because of the complicated management system: The administration was controlled by the Ministry of Education; academic curriculum by the University of Rajshahi; and the infrastructural development and maintenance by the Public Works Department. To circumvent these problems, several committees and commissions were formed since 1973. On the recommendation of these committees/commissions and having considered the practical aspects, autonomy was given to the four engineering colleges to make them centers of excellence of technology. A 15-member high-powered committee was formed, headed by Professor Dr. Wahid Uddin Ahmed, the then vice chancellor of BUET.

The consistent effort of this committee ultimately led to the establishment of four engineering colleges to Bangladesh Institute of Technology (BIT) in July 1986. But due to limited autonomy and some constitutional inadequacies of the BIT ordinance, the expected progress of the institutions could not be achieved. This ultimately necessitates re-framing the institutes as full-fledged universities. Due to the development of Engineering Education, it was appropriate to convert the four BITs to engineering and technological universities. The parliament passed the university bill that ultimately paved the way to commence the activities of university from 1 September 2003. The name of the BIT became Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET).

Administrative Building

The Administrative Building(called as add building) is three-storied tall. It accommodates the offices of vice-chancellor, registrar and department heads. Rupali Bank (RUET Branch), post office and laboratories of Physics and Chemistry departments are in this building.

Facilities

The university provides educational and related facilities to give students the ability to plan, administer and manage the latest technologies to decrease the gap between developed and developing countries. A brief description of them is given below.

Libraries

Central Library

The central library is walking distance from the academic buildings and student residences. It is in a compact building with limited built-in facilities to provide teaching aids such as reading facility, borrowing of books, journals, etc. to the students and teachers of RUET.

Rental Library

Apart from the central library, each degree-awarding department has its own rental library that rents books to students.

Student health service

An on-campus medical center provides primary and basic health care to the students free of charges. Two full-time MBBS doctors and other staff provide the care. For specialized consultation on complicated cases, the center refers the patients to specialists.

 

Computer Center

The university has a central computer center providing computing and Internet facilities to the students and faculty members. The center often offers short training courses and presently with the department of CSE the central computer center is arranging CISCO local academy program.
There is also an Internet centre in the library where high-speed free wifi Internet (WPA2 PSK) is available.

There is an Programming lab( commonly known as ACM Lab and also RAPL) for the students of the CSE department where interested students can practice programming and get support from the seniors and also teachers. Student of other departments can join if they are interested in programming by contracting a CSE professor. The ACM lab was established in 2015 to support to those who participate in programming contests like ACM-ICPC, NCPC, National Level and also online Programming Contest etc. Anyone who is interested in programming has much support.

Directorate of Student Welfare

The Directorate of Student Welfare is responsible for the activities related to the physical, social and other aspects of student welfare.
