Bangabandhu College & University to cost Tk 7.0b

Thousands of students will receive modern education at lower costs when the country's first private residential university starts functioning early next year.

Located at Shakhipur in Tangail, Bangabandhu International Residential (Cadet) College and University will host nearly 12,000 students and begin its admission process in February next year, its founder KM Hossain said Friday.

"Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is expected to inaugurate the university in January next year," he told the FE.

He said it would cost Tk 7.0 billion to set up the university to be financed by a private trusty board and local and foreign financiers.

He said at the initial stage, around 500 students will get admission but in the long run as many as 12,000 students will be able to pursue high degrees.

"We'll start journey with 20 departments. But our plan is to introduce postgraduate research degrees like Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)," he added.

He said, "Our students will get international standard education with cutting edge facilities."

"We will recruit local and foreign teachers and try our best to ensure quality education so that they can leave the university with a job in their hand."

The university, to be built on more than 250 bighas of land, awaits approval from the University Grants Commission, Mr Hossain said.

"Students will be able to study here with one fourth less cost than in any other private universities," Mr Hossain said.

Mr Hossain said that the students who are family members of freedom fighters will be able to study at free of costs. They have to pay only Tk 101 for the official purposes.

Besides, 20 per cent quota will be reserved for foreign students.

"All the students and teachers and officials will get residential facilities."

He added that the university has a plan to set up educational research council comprising education experts at Bangabandhu International Residential (Cadet) College and University.
 
Any university project is welcomed though it may be just a saying.


About the nomenclature approach by shameless la-hasina: It seems she has got the supreme power for engraving her dad's name in everything. Who knows, there could be a public toilet project by that name. But she has no right for naming every project by that name which are will be building by public (our-your-my) money. Ce-cucks!

It will be a private project... may be the founder wants to get any favor in return naming it bangabondhu...
