Bangladesh University of Business and Technology

Bangladesh University of Business and Technology (BUBT) is a private university in Mirpur, Dhaka, established in 2003. Business is its starting point, with engineering, law and humanities alongside. The Ulkaa Edu Rank 2027 places Bangladesh University of Business and Technology in the 41-50 band. The position is computed from the published methodology. In the QS Asia University Rankings 2026 it sits in the 1401-1500 band. UGC figures record 8,739 students (2023) and 428 teachers, 40 of them with a PhD (2023).

The Ulkaa Edu Rank draws on indicators such as first-year intake, research output and citations per work, the share of teachers with a PhD, students per teacher and recognition in QS and THE tables. Each indicator has a published weight and a stated data year, so a band is a summary of public data and not a verdict on any one programme.

BUBT started in 2003 and operated for years from rented premises, including Dhaka Commerce College. In 2019 it moved to its own campus in the Rupnagar Residential Area, Mirpur-2. Wikipedia describes its model as drawn from North American universities.

Bangladesh University of Business and Technology admits students at the undergraduate level for the programmes listed on its official website (http://www.bubt.edu.bd). UGC data records 3,187 new admissions in 2023. Entry requirements, test dates, seat numbers and deadlines change every session, so confirm them with the admissions office or the official notice before you apply. Applicants generally need an HSC or equivalent result. Before you apply, compare the programme you want against the current UGC and accreditation information, ask the department about class schedules and lab access, and visit the campus if you can. Tuition and other costs are not covered on this page, so ask the admissions office for the current fee schedule.

There are six faculties: Business, Engineering and Applied Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Social Sciences, Law, and Mathematical and Physical Science. Undergraduate degrees include BBA, B.Sc. in civil, electrical and electronic, computer science and textile engineering, English, economics and LL.B. (Hons). Graduate options include EMBA, MBA, MBM and LL.M. Ulkaa counts 11 programmes for 2027 and two with recorded accreditation in 2026.

OpenAlex data records 1,269 works in the five years to 2025 and an h-index of 119 in 2026 for BUBT. These are bibliometric counts and say little about any single department, so read them as a rough indicator of publishing activity.

The urban campus in Mirpur-2 covers about seven acres and includes a sports complex. With a student body of close to nine thousand in the UGC data, it is among the larger private campuses in the capital.
