How to Contact or Visit the Institute of Applied Statistics and Data Science (IASDS)

Updated

The Institute of Applied Statistics and Data Science (IASDS) is based at the University of Dhaka in Bangladesh, and its official website is iasds-du.ac.bd. That site is the starting point for contact details, program information, and campus resources. Because the site's own pages do not publish a verified phone number, email address, or visitor policy in the material available here, the reliable path is to use the website's navigation and the University of Dhaka's central directory rather than relying on third-party listings.

What IASDS Is

IASDS is the institute at the University of Dhaka dedicated to training and research in applied statistics. Its stated history traces back to 1964, when it was founded by the late Dr. Qazi Motahar Hussain, and it describes itself as a leading institution for statistics training and research in Bangladesh. The "du.ac.bd" domain confirms its affiliation with the University of Dhaka.

Contacting the Institute

The website does not expose a confirmed phone number, email address, or office-hours listing in the available page data, so treat any number you find elsewhere as unverified until it appears on an official page.

A workable approach:

  1. Go to iasds-du.ac.bd and look for a "Contact," "Contact Us," or "About" link in the main menu or footer.
  2. If the institute site does not list direct contact details, use the University of Dhaka's main website (du.ac.bd) and its administrative directory to reach the relevant office.
  3. For admissions or program-specific questions, check the academic program pages first — they often name the office or coordinator responsible.

What to have ready

  • The specific program or research area you are asking about (for example, a graduate program in applied statistics).
  • Your full name and a clear subject line if you are writing.
  • Any application or student ID number, if you already have one.

Visiting the Campus

IASDS sits within the University of Dhaka campus in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The institute's site is the best place to confirm its exact building or office location, since campus layouts and office assignments change.

Before traveling:

  • Confirm the location and any access requirements through the official site or the university, since the available material does not specify visitor procedures or opening hours.
  • Check whether an appointment is needed — institutes often require one for prospective-student or research inquiries.
  • Plan around the University of Dhaka's campus, which is in the city center and reachable by rickshaw, bus, or rideshare from most parts of Dhaka.

Getting Program and Research Information Online

If your goal is information rather than an in-person visit, the website covers most needs:

What you need Where to look
Academic programs offered The institute's academic/programs section
Research areas and activities Research or faculty pages
Contact and location Contact/About pages, or the University of Dhaka directory
Administrative or support pages Links from the institute homepage

Common Pitfalls

  • Relying on outdated third-party listings. Phone numbers and office locations change; verify against the official site.
  • Assuming the site lists everything. If contact details are missing, the University of Dhaka's central pages are the fallback.
  • Arriving without confirmation. The available material does not state visitor hours or access rules, so confirm before you go.

The short version: start at iasds-du.ac.bd for anything institute-specific, fall back to the University of Dhaka for contact and campus details, and confirm location and access before visiting.
