Listing Description

Dhaka University of Engineering & Technology (DUET), Gazipur was founded as the College of Engineering, Dhaka with the motto “Technology is the Advancement” at its temporary campus at Tejgaon, Dhaka, Bangladesh in 1980. It was then renamed as Dhaka Engineering College (DEC) under the University of Dhaka in 1981, and used to offer Bachelor of Engineering programs in Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical disciplines. With the passage of time, Dhaka Engineering College was empowered autonomy under the Bangladesh Institute of Technology ordinance no. XXI of 1986, under the name Bangladesh Institute of Technology, Dhaka (Abbreviated as BITD) to award undergraduate and postgraduate degrees. Hence September 1, 2003 became a historic day when the institute became an autonomous statutory organization of Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh under the Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology, Gazipur Act 2003. DUET is the university of choice for future engineers and architects in Bangladesh because of lively campus life. In 1983, the campus at Tejgaon, Dhaka was shifted to its permanent campus in the heart of Gazipur city (40 km north of Dhaka, the capital city of Bangladesh), with convenient access to the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Gazipur Railway Station, and Gazipur City Bus Terminals. The university’s physical expansion over the years has been significant, with new academic buildings, a number of student’s residential halls, a central library, a well equipped medical center, a student welfare center, and an auditorium complex, among other infrastructures. New educational expansions have thrived on DUET’s second nearby campus. Since 2020, the campus-wide IT infrastructure, the BdREN network, DUET e-learning platform, institutional email, DUET gateway and payroll etc. facilities have been created for the smooth online communications.
