Message from the VC

It is really a matter of pleasure and honour for me to welcome you to the official website of Islamic University, Kushtia, Bangladesh. The University is one of the major public universities in Bangladesh and the largest seat of higher education in the south-west part of the country. This website started its journey in 2009, on the eve of Admission Test for the Bachelor Program under the academic session 2009-2010. The attempts of making the Application Forms, Prospectus, Results, Notices and the like issues available online this year, was surely the university’s first step towards digitalization of its activities in compliance with the present government’s promise to build Digital Bangladesh by the year 2021. This year we have introduced even more digital approaches for the applicants to relieve them of the time and money consuming approaches practiced in the past years. Now, all that an applicant needs to do is that, he/she shall apply through SMS (Short Messaging Service) from a prepaid connection of the mobile operator Teletalk, Bangladesh Ltd. The application fee will be deducted from the account of the connection, used for applying, only if the applicant is eligible, he/she follows exact procedue of applying through SMS, and the account-balance is sufficient enough. Prospective students should go through the notice, published on this web site, carefully before they apply.

The university began its academic activities in the 1985-86 academic year with 300 students enrolled in four departments under two faculties - two departments under the Faculty of Theology and Islamic Studies, and two departments under the Faculty of Humanities and Social Science. The main objective has been to provide for instructions in theology and other fields of Islamic studies and comparative jurisprudence and such other branches of learning at graduate and post-graduate levels and make provisions for research including post-doctoral research and training for advancement and dissemination of knowledge. Today, in 2010, the university is active in teaching and research in as many as 22 academic departments, including various fields of modern science and technology, under five faculties. Our vision is to extend the scope and increase opportunities for higher education and research in every branch of human knowledge and ensure the quality all along.

I hope that visitors to this website will get an overall idea about the academic, administrative and extracurricular activities of the university. The site is expected to get richer by incorporating many more facts and information in course of time.

Vice-Chancellor
