EnglishWhat Is the University of Chittagong Website (cu.ac.bd)?
Updated
cu.ac.bd is the official website of the University of Chittagong (চট্টগ্রাম বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়), a public university in Bangladesh. The site presents the institution's history, vision and mission, senior leadership, key facts, and a notice board, with content in both English and Bengali. Use it to confirm the university's identity and leadership, read official announcements, or find scholarship, job, and tender notices; it is not an admissions portal or a student services dashboard based on the available material.
What the site covers
Institutional background
The homepage's "Our History" section places the university on 2,312.32 acres of hilly land in Fatehpur mauja, Hathazari upazila, about 22 km north of Chittagong city. It opened on 18 November 1966. The page traces earlier planning to a 1962 draft by Mohammad Ferdaus Khan, Deputy Director of Public Instruction of East Pakistan, and a 1961 University of Chittagong Movement Council. It also names intellectuals involved in the 1962 site-selection movement, including Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah (1885–1969) and Dr. Muhammad Enamul Haq (1906–82).
Vision and mission
The site states a vision of "creative endeavor for reaching a global height in higher education." The mission is listed as four numbered items (UM1–UM4) covering:
- Imparting knowledge, creativity, and problem-solving skills so students become nation builders, community leaders, and global citizens
- Building basic and advanced research capabilities in students
- Expanding knowledge through partnerships with global universities, research organizations, and industry
- Promoting professionalism, inclusivity, equal rights, ethical standards, and diversity, plus sustainable development through co- and extra-curricular activities
The page also lists values: integrity, diversity, excellence, collaboration, empathy and compassion, sustainability, dedication, and inclusion.
Leadership profiles
Three senior officers are named with links to individual profiles:
| Role | Name |
|---|---|
| Vice-Chancellor | Professor Dr. Mohammad Al-Forkan |
| Pro-Vice Chancellor (Academic) | Professor Dr. Mohammed Al-Amin |
| Pro-Vice Chancellor (Administration) | Professor Dr. Md. Safiqul Islam |
University at a glance
A quick-facts block summarizes scale. The figures as displayed are "19" (founded), "1" (faculties), "100+" (faculty members), and "1000+" (regular students). These labels and numbers appear inconsistent with the history section's 1966 founding date, so treat the at-a-glance counters as unverified until you confirm them elsewhere on the site.
Notice board
The notice board is organized into four categories: General Notices, Scholarship and Fellowship, Job Circulars, and Tender & Procurement. Entries carry a date, title, and attachment link. Examples visible on the page include:
- A proctor's office urgent notice about drone camera flights (26-10-2026)
- A teacher-bus schedule for Saturday 17.10.2026 (15-10-2026)
- An urgent notice from the Controller of Examinations office about certificate services (14-10-2026)
- An auction notice for 191 trees (13-10-2026)
Dates and titles are reproduced as shown; verify current notices directly on the site before acting on them.
How to use it
- Confirm identity or leadership: open the homepage and check the Vice-Chancellor and Pro-Vice Chancellor profiles under the leadership section.
- Read official announcements: go to the notice board and pick the category that matches your need — general, scholarship/fellowship, jobs, or tenders. Each row links to an attachment with details.
- Check institutional facts: use "Our History" for founding and location details, and the "at a glance" block for scale figures, cross-checking anything that looks inconsistent.
Expected result: you can cite the university's official positions and read the full text of a notice. Common snag: the at-a-glance numbers conflict with the history section, so don't rely on them alone.
What it does not tell you
The available page content does not list tuition, admission requirements, academic calendars, or login areas, and no pricing or access restrictions are stated. If you need admissions or student services, look for dedicated pages or contact the university directly rather than assuming this homepage covers them.
