Provenance & notes
Inaugurated in February 2019 (sources vary on the exact day, 7 vs 19 Feb). Described as the first semi-public / public-private partnership (PPP) university in Bandarban district: funded by the Bandarban Education and Development Foundation (75%) and Bandarban Hill District Council (25%). Listed by UGC under approved private universities (entry 181), so ownership recorded as private per schema, but note it is a PPP/semi-public institution rather than a purely private one. Schools: Science and Technology; Business Studies; Arts, Social Sciences and Law. VC M. Nurul Islam per Wikipedia; appointment date not published. Permanent 100-acre campus under development at Suyalok.
