How to Navigate the RUET (Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology) Official Website
Updated
The official RUET website is hosted at ruet.ac.bd. Use it as the starting point for admissions, academic programs, faculty and department information, notices, and administrative contacts. The site is organized around a persistent top navigation menu (About, Administration, Academics, Faculties, Research, Ranking, Services, Notice, and more), so most tasks begin by choosing the section that matches your goal rather than searching the homepage.
Confirm you are on the official site
Check the address bar for ruet.ac.bd before entering any personal information or following admission instructions. The site's own navigation lists the institutional structure—Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor, Pro Vice-Chancellor, Syndicate, Academic Council, and administrative offices—which you can use to verify you are on the university's official pages rather than a third-party aggregator.
Find admission information
Admission content sits under the Admission menu, which the site divides into:
- How to Apply
- Undergraduate Admission
- Postgraduate Admission
- Admission Schedule
- International Student Quota
To check undergraduate or postgraduate admission: open the Admission menu, select the level you need, and read the "How to Apply" page for the application process. Then confirm dates and deadlines on the Admission Schedule page, since the process page and the schedule page serve different purposes. If you are an international applicant, use the International Student Quota entry rather than the general admission pages.
Explore faculties, departments, and programs
The Faculties menu lists every department grouped by faculty, and the Academics section includes Programs Offered. The faculties shown on the site are:
| Faculty | Departments listed |
|---|---|
| Electrical & Computer Engineering | EEE, CSE, ECE, ETE |
| Civil Engineering | CE, Architecture (Arch), Urban & Regional Planning (URP), Building Engineering & Construction Management (BECM) |
| Mechanical Engineering | IPE, CME, MTE, MSE, ME, ChE |
| Applied Science and Humanities | Chemistry, Mathematics, Physics, Humanities |
Two institutes are also listed: the Institute of Information and Communication Technology (IICT) and the Institute of Energy and Environmental Studies (IEES).
To find a specific department: open Faculties, choose the faculty that matches the field, then select the department. Department pages are the place to look for faculty members and program details; the site also provides a Faculty Members and Faculty Short Info entry under Services for cross-department lookup.
Check notices and use online services
- Notice List (under Notice) is where official announcements are posted. Check it before relying on any date you found elsewhere.
- Online Services and My RUET are the site's service entry points; Web Mail and Alumni Login appear in the top bar for email and alumni access.
- Quick Search is available for locating pages across the site.
To verify a deadline or announcement: go to Notice List first, then cross-check the relevant Academics or Admission page. If the two disagree, treat the notice as the more current source and confirm with the relevant office.
Find people and administrative contacts
The Administration menu covers university leadership and statutory bodies, and the Administrative Offices section lists:
- Office of the Vice-Chancellor
- Office of the Registrar
- Office of the Comptroller
- Office of the Central Library
- Office of the Chief Engineer
Deans of faculties, Heads of departments, and Provosts of residential halls are also listed. For staff contacts, use Officer & Staff Contact Info under Services.
Understand the university's profile
For background on the institution, the About menu includes History, Mission & Vision, RUET Act, Campus Details, and Campus Map. Research information is grouped under Research, with pages for Research Area, Research Mission, Research & Ethics, MoU/Collaboration, and publications including the Journal of Engineering and Applied Science (JEAS). A Ranking section is also provided.
Common sticking points
- Admission process vs. schedule: the "How to Apply" page explains steps; the "Admission Schedule" page carries dates. Check both.
- Department vs. faculty: program details live on department pages, not the faculty overview. If a link seems to lead to a general page, go back one level and select the specific department.
- Login-gated areas: Web Mail, Alumni Login, and My RUET are account-based entry points. The site does not state that these are open to the public, so plan to use credentials issued by the university.
- Fees and costs: the Academics menu includes an Academic Expenses page. Consult it directly rather than assuming costs from other sources.
