verification_status=partial: (1) established_year=2015 is the year the Act was passed; academic operations commenced January 2019 from temporary premises in Deana, Daulatpur, Khulna -- the university lists 2019 as its operational start in some sources. (2) vc_since=2024-10-30 based on BSS News report of joining date; dainikshiksha.com and Wikipedia cite October 29, 2024 as the appointment date -- one-day discrepancy between gazette/appointment (Oct 29) and physical joining (Oct 30); Oct 30 used as it reflects when Nazmul Ahsan physically assumed office.
