The institute was founded in 1964 as Rajshahi Engineering College with three faculties and a limited number of students. The name of the institute was turned to Bangladesh Institute of Technology (BIT), Rajshahi in 1986 to enhance the technical education, and finally it was upgraded to the status of a university with the new name Rajshahi University of Engineering & Technology (RUET) in 2003 to improve the technical education and research.The university is dedicated to excellence in technical education and research in line with its vision. The university is progressing steadily to be a comprehensive university providing various assortments of under-graduate and post-graduate program.
