ABOUT IIUC

International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC) is one of the top graded government approved private universities in Bangladesh.  Having fulfilled the requirements as laid down in the Private University Act of 1992, and after obtaining the necessary clearance from University Grants Commission (UGC), and the permission of Government of Bangladesh (GOB) through the Ministry of Education, International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC) started functioning on February 11, 1995. The credit for the idea of establishing this University goes to  International Islamic University Chittagong Trust (IIUCT).

IIUC CAMPUS: Unlike most private Universities in Bangladesh, IIUC is blessed with a beautiful campus situated at Kumira, Chittagong, surrounded by gentle hills that carry a message of protection and perfection in beauty where both Teachers and Students can devote themselves to create Knowledge. This campus is also not very far from the Bay of Bengal but about 24km away from the bustle of the city.

In 2004 IIUC was recognized as one of the 9 top-graded Private Universities by a Government-appointed High Powered Team led by the UGC Chairman. At present, it is the largest private university with teachers about 400 (Full time: 270 & Adjunct: 100) and students around 12000 from home and abroad. A good number of full-time teachers and students are studying abroad for pursuing higher studies with IIUC’s scholarship or financial assistance .The Graduation degrees of CSE & CCE are accredited by the BAETE. IIUC grants waiver, generous financial assistances and scholarships to the students at different rates depending on the results of their previous examinations and financial condition. IIUC participated in different national and international contests, winning prizes for obtaining prestigious positions. IIUC successfully organized ten International Conferences on different important issues relating to education, ethics and Islamization of knowledge. It also arranged ‘National Computer Programming Contest’ (NCPC-2004) in collaboration with the Ministry of Science & ICT and Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) as part of its regular programs.

Legal Aspect: IIUC framed its own Statutes, Ordinances and Regulations governing the manifold activities of IIUC – academic, administrative, financial, student welfare, discipline etc. as per the Private University Act, 1992, 1998 and revised Act, 2010.
