Recent News and Events Highlighted on the University of Rajshahi Website

The University of Rajshahi's official site (ru.ac.bd) surfaces its newest activity in two places: a Latest Notices list for official announcements and an Events list for campus news coverage. As of the site content reviewed, the Events section carries three dated items from late September 2026 — a Youth Connect project discussion, a Times Higher Education ranking result, and World Pharmacist Day — each with a "Read More" link to fuller coverage. Notices run separately and cover academic and administrative deadlines.

Where the news appears on the homepage

The homepage is organized so that time-sensitive information is visible without navigating away:

• Latest Notices — dated entries, most recent first, covering program admissions, course batches, and administrative circulars.
• Events — dated news items with a short headline and a "Read More" link to the full story.
• Message from Vice-Chancellor — a standing welcome message from Dr. Md. Faridul Islam, not a news feed.

If you are looking for a specific announcement, start with Latest Notices; if you want coverage of something that already happened on campus, start with Events.

Events highlighted in the current listing

Each item links to a fuller article via "Read More." The Events page also has an "All Events" link for the complete list.

The Times Higher Education item is the most externally verifiable of the three, since THE publishes its own rankings; treat the site's headline as the university's own framing and check THE directly if the exact placement matters to you (for example, when comparing institutions for an application).

Notices worth knowing about

The Latest Notices list mixes academic, cultural, and administrative items. Examples from the current listing:

• 25 Oct — A cultural competition tied to "Nazrul Year," scheduled for 28–29 October 2026, was postponed for unavoidable reasons. This is a good illustration of why the notices list matters: schedule changes appear here first.
• 18 Oct — Admission notice for the MPH program (Evening), 2026–2027 session (January 27), batch 19, Institute of Biological Science.
• 10 Sep — Admission notice for the 37th batch of the "Statistical Computing Certificate Course" run by the Department of Statistics and Data Science.
• 09 Sep — A circular on supervisor/principal supervisor/co-supervisor appointments, changes, and related registration matters.

An "All Notices" link leads to the full archive.

How to use these sections

1. Open ru.ac.bd and scan Latest Notices for dates and deadlines relevant to you (admission, registration, exams).
2. Check Events for institutional news and recognition; follow "Read More" for detail.
3. Use All Notices or All Events when the homepage shows only the most recent few items.
4. For anything time-critical — a postponed competition, an admission window — confirm against the linked notice itself rather than the headline, since headlines are abbreviated.

One caveat: the site mixes English and Bengali, and several notices are published only in Bengali. If you don't read Bengali, use browser translation and verify names, dates, and program titles against the original text before acting on them.
