Z.H Sikder University of Science and Technology

Z.H Sikder University of Science and Technology, shortened to ZHSUST, is a private university in Shariatpur, established in 2012. Its tagline is "Making Future Leaders from Rural Bangladesh". The Ulkaa Edu Rank 2027 places it in the 51-75 band overall and in the 31-40 band among private universities. The position is computed from the published methodology.

UGC figures record 746 students and 57 teachers in 2023, of whom 4 held a PhD. New admissions that year were 329. That is about 13 students per teacher. Ulkaa has no matched research record for the university, so its score rests on intake, faculty, teaching ratio and accreditation data, with about 65 per cent of indicators covered. A band is a summary of public data, not a verdict on any one programme.

Ulkaa holds no QS or THE entry for ZHSUST.

The university was established in 2012. Its official website says it was created to advance the backward southern districts of Bangladesh and to reduce poverty there, and that it aims to give rural students modern facilities in higher education. The institution is named after its founder, Zainul Haque Sikder.

UGC counts for the years Ulkaa has show steady numbers: 295 new admissions in 2021, 344 in 2022 and 329 in 2023, with total enrolment of 766, 790 and 746 over the same years.

Z.H Sikder University of Science and Technology admits students at the undergraduate and MBA level for the programmes listed on its official website (https://zhsust.ac.bd). UGC data records 329 new admissions in 2023. Entry requirements, test dates, seat numbers and deadlines change every session, so confirm them with the admissions office or the current notice before you apply. Applicants generally need an HSC or equivalent result.

Before you apply, compare the programme you want with the current UGC and accreditation information, ask the department about class schedules and laboratory access, and visit if you can. Tuition and other costs are not covered on this page, so ask the admissions office for the current fee schedule.

The official website lists three faculties. The Faculty of Business Studies covers Business Administration. The Faculty of Engineering and Technology has Chemical, Civil, Computer Science and Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences has English and Law. The site mentions seven undergraduate degrees and three MBA options: a regular one-year, a regular two-year and an executive programme.

Ulkaa holds one programme record for 2027, the LLB (Honours), which is listed as accredited by the Bangladesh Bar Council in 2026. Ask the engineering and business departments about their current approval status before you decide.

The official website places the university at Madhupur village in Bhedarganj upazila, Shariatpur, and describes a campus of 6 acres with about 200,000 square feet of floor space in a green environment. Beyond that, this page has no verified detail on halls, laboratories or clubs, so it makes no claims about them. The law department's own page mentions a clinical legal education programme and moot court competitions, which is worth asking about if you plan to study law. Visit and ask about transport, hostel places and laboratory access.
