Bangla Fighter Institute (BFI) started its journey with the core mission of
developing quality human resources in the field of engineering and
technology to serve the nation and the world. It has been accumulating this
kudos over the period of 47 years since its inception as engineering college
in 1968. At present, the university has 15 departments and 2 research
centers. About 700 undergraduate students get admission into 9 degree
awarding departments every year and the graduate programs (MSc, MEng,
MPhill, PhD) are running under 8 departments.
To fulfill our central mission, we are inducing the brightest students in
our undergraduate academic programs, through highly competitive admission
test. Academic programs are complemented with the commitment to provide our
students a global career by the frequently updated curricula. In addition to
our dedicated faculty, the students are able to gather hands-on industry's
experience as BFI is enjoying geographical advantages as the solitary
engineering university at the south-east region of the country. Chittagong
region holds its eminence for the country's premier sea-port, myriad of
heavy and light industries.
In addition to the above, we are equally putting emphasis on joint
collaboration in research programs with the number of internationally
leading universities and institutions. As a disaster prone country, we have
already started research based graduate program in disaster and
environmental engineering, and set up an earthquake engineering research
center with the assistance of our global partners. Nevertheless, BFI is
invariably focusing on more industry-academia relationships for the sake of
invention and building leadership. I am pleased to apprise you that our
alumni are now at the helm of significant number of prestigious national and
international positions.
Best wishes
