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 University of Rajshahi
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

Administrative Building
Administrative Building
The Administrative Building
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. Consistent with the academic curricula, the contents of
the central library are updated consistently to keep up with technological
trends.
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.
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. These include arrangement of
supervision of halls of residence, programs for physical education, games and
sports, supervision of the programs of co-curricular activities of students
through the Central Student Union and through the students union of the halls
of residence. It is also responsible for providing health services through the
student health center.
The Central Students Union (most of its members are elected by the students) maintains and aids new students in their introduction to the RUET as well as in looking after their problems.
The student unions of the residential halls also arrange their individual co-curricular activities, literary competitions etc. and help the hall administration for its proper management.
Games and sports facilities
The sports center
of the RUET provides excellent facilities to students for acquiring physical
and mental fitness that is indispensable for a healthy mind and body. The
university maintains a beautiful playground, rugby field, tennis lawn and
basketball court. The sports center arranges a very colorful athletic
competition every year.
For improvement of the standard of games and sports, regular coaching and grooming by experts is arranged. The university arranges inter-year, inter-departmental football, cricket and basketball and baseball and squash and volleyball competition. Teacher- and student-friendly games are also arranged.
Halls of residence
Student dormitories
(called halls) are important features in campus life. There are seven
residential halls (one in under construction). One is known as Ladies Hall (LH)
for undergraduate women, and the remaining halls are for undergraduate men.
The administrative head of a hall is its provost, usually chosen from the more senior teachers. The halls are mostly named after national heroes and leaders. These are listed below with their capacities:
Auditorium Complex and seminar hall
The university has
an air conditioned Auditorium Complex with all modern facilities having a seat
capacity of about 700, which is capable of holding conferences, seminars and
other cultural programs. Besides this there are seminar and conference rooms
with limited capacity in engineering degree awarding departments.
