International Islamic University Chittagong

In 2004 IIUC was recognized as one of the 9 top-graded Private Universities by a Government-appointed High Powered Team led by the UGC Chairman. At present, it is the largest private university with 370 (Full-time: 270 & Adjunct: 100) teachers and 18000 students from home and abroad. A good number of full-time teachers and students are studying abroad for pursuing higher studies with IIUC’s scholarship or financial assistance or continuation of services. The Graduation degrees of CSE & CCE are accredited by the BAETE. IIUC grants waiver, generous financial assistances and scholarships to the students at different rates depending on the results of their previous examinations and financial condition. IIUC participated in different national and international contests, winning prizes for obtaining prestigious positions. IIUC successfully organized five International Conferences on different important issues relating to education, ethics and Islamization of knowledge. It also arranged ‘National Computer Programming Contest’ (NCPC-2004) in collaboration with the Ministry of Science & ICT and Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) as part of its regular programs.During that period, the government and the intellectual and civil society in Bangladesh started to feel that the existing public universities were not sufficient to meet the increasing demand for tertiary education in the country. To maintain their quality of education, most of the reputed public universities in Bangladesh kept themselves selective and, as a result, a large number of students failed to get admitted into higher education institutions.
