Following mismanagement on the part of the original governing body, it was one of the eight universities the University Grants Commission of Bangladesh recommended for shutting down due to poor quality of academic standards.[2] The university was also served with show-cause notice by judicial authorities asking why it would not be closed down.[3]

As of August, 2010, the University received legal permission from the court to continue its educational activities under a new governing body and with new academic faculty and expanded academic offerings.[4]

It is the first university in Bangladesh to run all student and staff computers on Linux software.[5]

gollark: Oops, it turns out I'm accidentally sorting by it instead of the rank, but it's equally slow after fixing that.
