Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology - CUET Speciality : Electrical Engineering
programme: Electrical and Electronics Engineering

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.

CUET is about 20 km far from the main Chittagong city. Personally I like the nature, the green, the rain of my campus. At the same time I also enjoy the residential life of CUET. We live together, study together. The atmosphere of study is good. But students are not always interested in extra curricular activities. The teachers are not always helpful many of them are quiet arrogant. The syllabus isn’t also up to date. In emergency case there may should be taken online class but this type of infrastructure isn’t rare. University provide a mail but it deactivate automatically after using five/six years ; students might have important academic material. There are many problems in CUET which should be fixed. But now CUET authority is trying to do something really good- providing free wifi, building dedicated research center, solve residential crisis and so on.
If someone who grew up and used to in urban life this might not be the place they wanted. Also the lab equipments most of them are old. University don’t have paid subscriptions of software we need to use instead of those labs. Most of the softwares are cracked. Also most of the student don’t get enough protien in there food which might be a major concern. Due to academic pressure and other issues most of the students can’t lead a healthy Lifestyle.
As a senior I won’t recommended CUET.

Studying at Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology (CUET) was a life-changing journey for me. It wasn’t always easy—the academic pressure was tough—but it made me stronger, more disciplined, and confident in my abilities. The peaceful campus and supportive teachers really helped me grow, not just as a student but as a person. CUET will always have a special place in my heart.

This is one of the most prestigious engineering universities in Bangladesh. The environment,classroom,,labs, professors everything is very rich and suitable in most of the departments. There is also a good scope for students to join extra curricular activities. And every year many campaigns takes place in the campus which is very helpful for the students for their upcoming job life. This varsity is rich in every aspect expect for the research facilities. Although this sector is also improving day by day,but the lab instruments and research facilities should be more abundant for the students to shine more. Student accommodation along with the food of cafeteria is also day by day upgrading. Overall,as an Engineering University Cuet is successfully producing many talent and promising engineers every year.

Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (CUET) is a premier public institution in Bangladesh that provides a rigorous academic environment and a strong foundation in engineering principles. Having experienced the curriculum firsthand, I can attest to the high quality of the faculty and their dedication to research, particularly within the core engineering departments. The campus itself is a significant highlight; often referred to as a “green heaven,” its serene landscape of hills and lakes offers an ideal atmosphere for academic focus. However, as is common in a developing nation, the university faces certain challenges, including a lack of the latest high-end technologies and modern laboratory instruments compared to global standards.
Overall, CUET is a top choice for students seeking a challenging engineering education within a beautiful, nature-oriented setting.

This public enginnering university has a green campus which attracts the students from all over the country, it has adventurous hall life also. But the departments,classrooms are deprived of basic student friendly resources,smartboards,ACs. It is due to mismanagement of govt. funds which are not implemented and misused by the authority. The location is also in one side of the city that’s why modern facilities aren’t reachable easily. Overall i would recommend this varsity if someone has passion in any subject offered here.

CUET offers a solid academic environment, especially for engineering students who are serious about building strong technical fundamentals. The faculty members are generally knowledgeable and supportive, and the curriculum is well-structured for core engineering subjects. Lab facilities are decent, though some departments could benefit from updated equipment.
Campus life is শান্ত and focused, which is great for study but may feel limited in terms of extracurricular diversity compared to larger universities. Hostel life is manageable, though improvements in food quality and facilities would make a big difference.
One of the strongest aspects is the peer group—motivated and competitive, which pushes you to grow. However, administrative processes can sometimes be slow.
Overall, I would recommend CUET to students who prioritize academics and a disciplined environment over a very vibrant social life.

I am a student of Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology. The university has a large campus of about 173 acres, which provides a calm for studying. Our classes are helpful, and the faculty members are generally of good quality and supportive.
However, the laboratory equipment is not always in perfect condition, although all the necessary equipment for our courses is available. Apart from academics, the transport system is a major drawback, as there are not enough buses to accommodate all students.
On the positive side, the hall (residential) system is quite good compared to other public universities.

Studying EEE at CUET is honestly a mix of excitement, stress, and personal growth. As a student, I can say the department has a strong academic reputation, and the courses are well-structured if you’re genuinely interested in electrical systems, electronics, power, and communication-related subjects. The teachers are knowledgeable, and many of them are supportive if you show real interest in learning.
That said, it’s definitely not an easy ride. The workload can get intense, especially during lab reports, assignments, and exam weeks when everything seems to come at once. Some courses are quite challenging and require consistent effort rather than last-minute studying. If you’re someone who enjoys problem-solving and can stay disciplined, you’ll do well here.
The lab facilities are decent, though like most public engineering universities, there’s room for modernization in some areas. What really makes the experience memorable is the environment — late-night study sessions with friends, group project struggles, and the satisfaction of finally understanding a difficult concept after hours of effort.
Student life at CUET is balanced. There’s academic pressure, but there are also clubs, events, and a close-knit campus culture that help you grow beyond academics. EEE here teaches more than technical knowledge; it builds patience, resilience, and analytical thinking.
Overall, CUET EEE is challenging but worth it if you’re passionate about engineering and ready to work hard. It’s not a smooth journey, but it’s one that shapes you for the future.

Mixed experience. There have limited opportunities but a co-operative environment for doing something better. Some teachers have ego issues but instead of some lackings there’s some student friendly Professors also.
Need to improve lab facilities and researche facilities.
Best campus life experience ever, i will definitely cherish my campus life.
Yeah moderately recommended for mid level students.
