2. Does the government recognize UITS? Top

Yes. The University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Government of Bangladesh approved the operation of UITS as the first IT-based private university in the country. Moreover, we are very proud to say that though UITS is barely 18 months old, its infrastructure, facilities, programs and performance have been appreciated in the recent report of the high-powered probe body on private universities, headed by the Chairman of the UGC. We are better than most of the other private universities.

3. Who is the Vice Chancellor? Trustee? Top

Vice Chancellor:

Dr. M. A. Aziz, a renowned Bangladeshi-American professor from USA, is the present Vice Chancellor of UITS. He's playing an important role for the improvement of the privates universities in Bangladesh.
Dr. Abdul Majeed Khan was the founding Vice Chancellor of UITS. He was also a former Minister of Education and the founding President of Independent University, Bangladesh. He also received the award of “International Educator of the Year 2003” given by the International Biographical Center, Cambridge. He is an educator by heart and served in the Governing Council of the UNESCO.

Trustee:

The Chairman of the holding company of the University is Mr. Sufi Mohammed Mizanur Rahman, a very religious and dedicated citizen of Bangladesh, and was the recipient of “Bangladesh Business Person of the Year for 2003”. He is also at the helm of PHP Group of Companies.

4. Does UITS have intern facilities? Top

Yes, we do and much more. The principle of education at UITS is that up to the first degree level knowledge imparted must have the potential for immediate application. This means (a) the content is modular and (b) teaching must accompany either project or practice, and in some cases also research. The second feature is that the program is a “staircase” providing recognition at every year or step within the same vertical scheme. It also allows lateral entry or re-entry to complete the undergraduate degree. It allows a student to quit school after successfully completing a number of modules at different stages for any reason, including lack of funds or for employment. Such “drop-outs” shall be employable on the basis of acquired knowledge and skills.

5. Does UITS have credit transfer facilities to other foreign and local universities or from any university to UITS? In which Universities, do you have collaboration? Top

Yes, we do. The courses you have taken from other universities can be credited to your degree at UITS. In fact, we recognize your previous learning and experience. In the same manner, the courses you have taken at UITS can be transferred to other institutions. UITS courses and programs are of international standard and are globally recognized. As of the moment, our academic collaboration extends to

· Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIT) Allahabad, India

· Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, India

· Christian University (CU), Bangkok, Thailand

· Asian Institute of Technology (AIT), Bangkok, Thailand

· Siam University (SU) Bangkok, Thailand

· Technical and Further Education (TAFE) South Western Sydney Institute, Australia

6. What is the total cost of any particular program? Top

The cost of education depends on the program. Our fee structure is comparable to other universities of the same educational quality. We at UITS are highly committed to providing quality education. By quality education, we mean development or enhancement of one’s free mind, attitude and human values, provision of correct information, and the endless quest for truth and knowledge. With this perspective, the University is committed to provide quality education through diversified curriculum, well trained and experienced faculty members using appropriate teaching methods and processes, well-maintained and technologically equipped facilities and quality services. All of these are aimed to shape a complete, more effective, more efficient, and humane person.

The regular fees are given below. Also, we are generous in providing scholarship. Almost every student is given scholarship. Special packages/financial arrangements are given to different types and groups of students.

The total cost is difficult to determine because so much depends on the students. Which courses to enroll? How many units will he take? What will be the level of his performance? What is the level of commitment in getting quality education? However, at every stage, the student can easily work out a cost package primarily based on his/her academic performance and financial needs. The administration will assist in developing such individual packages.
