Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University

Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University (JKKNIU) is a public university at Trishal in Mymensingh, established in 2006. It is named after the national poet and has a liberal arts leaning. The Ulkaa Edu Rank 2027 places Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University in the 41-50 band. The position is computed from the published methodology. UGC figures record 7,275 students (2023) and 293 teachers, 68 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.

The university was first conceived as a culture-based university, but it developed as a general one with a particular focus on liberal arts education and activities. Its first batch of 185 students arrived in 2007.

Jatiya Kabi Kazi Nazrul Islam University admits students at the undergraduate level for the programmes listed on its official website (http://www.jkkniu.edu.bd). UGC data records 1,090 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.

Wikipedia lists six faculties and 25 departments, in arts, science and engineering, business administration, social science, fine arts and law. Ulkaa counts 10 programmes for 2027. Postgraduate research degrees exist as well, with 33 doctoral candidates noted on Wikipedia.

OpenAlex data records 808 works in the five years to 2025 and an h-index of 56 in 2026 for JKKNIU. These are bibliometric counts and say little about any single department, so read them as a rough indicator of publishing activity.

The 57-acre campus is in a rural setting at Namapara-Battala, about 22 km from Mymensingh city and about 100 km from Dhaka. Culture is part of student life. The university holds the two-day Kuyasha Utshab around Nazrul's birthday and has a student-run radio station, Radio JKKNIU.
