Pabna University of Science and Technology

Pabna University of Science and Technology (PUST) is a public university in Pabna. Its campus is at Rajapur village in Pabna Sadar Upazila, about 5 km northeast of the town centre, and it was established in 2008.

In Ulkaa Edu Rank 2027 it sits in the 31-40 band. That placement is computed from the published methodology. QS Asia University Rankings 2026 place it in the 1201-1300 band. Ulkaa's research data for 2026 gives it an h-index of 79.

Ulkaa's ranking compares institutions inside Bangladesh. The 31-40 band means the institution sits in that group of ten, and no exact order within the band is published. Read it next to the QS band where one exists, because QS compares universities across Asia with a different method.

PUST began teaching in 2008 as one of the government-funded science and technology universities opened in the second half of the 2000s. It has grown from a small set of engineering and science departments into an institution with five faculties and 21 departments.

The campus covers about 30 acres. Wikipedia notes that construction of new multi-storey academic buildings was under way when its article was last updated, so the physical footprint is still changing.

Ulkaa lists 20 programmes for 2027, while Wikipedia counts 21 departments. The two numbers count different things, since one department can run several programmes and some programmes sit across departments.

PUST is a public university, so undergraduate seats are filled through a centrally announced admission process with a published circular, application window and test schedule. Faculty-wise seat numbers and eligibility rules change every year.

Check the admission notice on the official website before you apply. Ulkaa has no verified figure for applicants per seat at PUST, so none is given here.

Teaching is organised into five faculties: Engineering and Technology, Science, Business Studies, Humanities and Social Science, and Life and Earth Science. Engineering and Technology is the largest, with departments that include Computer Science and Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Civil Engineering and Architecture.

Ulkaa's data lists 20 programmes for 2027. The science side covers Pharmacy, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, while the arts and social science side includes English and Economics. Business Administration also offers an MBA (Regular). Bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees are offered, and instruction is in English.

One programme is recorded as accredited in 2026.

The campus has a Central Library, an open area called Independence Square and four student halls. Because the university is on the edge of Pabna rather than in the centre, most students live in halls or nearby rented rooms, and daily life revolves around the campus.

Research output is modest but visible. Ulkaa's figures show 513 works in 2025 and 1,778 works over the five years to 2025, with 19,700 citations over that window, or about 11.1 citations per work.

The five-year publication window grew from 1,419 works in the 2024 data to 1,778 in the 2025 data. Mean citedness over two years was 4.13 in 2026.
