Student review [#103515] for Electrical and Electronics Engineering
at Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology - CUET

I studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) at Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) from 2014 to 2018. Overall, I would rate my experience 3 out of 5.

One of the strongest aspects of CUET is its campus environment and the friendships you build during your time there. I also had the opportunity to learn from a few excellent teachers who were knowledgeable and supportive. In addition, many of my classmates were highly talented and motivated, creating a competitive and inspiring academic atmosphere.

However, there were several areas that I believe need significant improvement. Laboratory facilities were often inadequate, with as many as eight students sharing a single test bench, and in some cases even larger groups sharing one piece of equipment. This limited the amount of hands-on experience students could gain. I also felt that some teachers were less supportive of students who struggled academically, rather than helping them improve.

The teaching approach was generally traditional and theory-oriented, with limited use of real-world examples to explain engineering concepts. Laboratory sessions often lacked effective instruction, and programming education was weaker than I expected for an engineering curriculum. Another drawback was the lack of structured guidance for students interested in research. Unless students actively sought opportunities themselves, they received little direction on how to get involved.

That said, I believe some of these challenges are common across many public universities in Bangladesh rather than being unique to CUET.

I would still recommend CUET to prospective students, but with realistic expectations. Students who are self-motivated, willing to learn independently, and proactive in seeking opportunities can build a strong engineering foundation and have a rewarding university experience.
