International University of Business Agriculture and Technology (IUBAT) has achieved a significant milestone as all four of its engineering programs have been awarded international accreditation by the Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education (BAETE).

The accredited programs include Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE), Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Civil Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. According to university sources, this accreditation has been granted for a period of six years.

University authorities stated that a total of four programs were submitted for accreditation this year, and all of them successfully met the required standards. Notably, IUBAT has become the first university in Bangladesh to receive international accreditation simultaneously for all of its engineering programs, marking a remarkable achievement in the country’s higher education sector.

This accreditation formally recognizes that the academic programs meet international standards of quality and excellence. As a result, students will benefit from increased global recognition when applying for higher education abroad, enhanced opportunities for scholarships, and stronger competitiveness in multinational job markets. Furthermore, continuous monitoring of curriculum and teaching quality under the accreditation framework will ensure sustained academic improvement.

The accreditation also strengthens the potential for future alignment with global agreements such as the Washington Accord, which will further facilitate international mobility, professional recognition, and employment opportunities for IUBAT graduates worldwide.

The Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education (BAETE), operating under the Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB), plays a crucial role in ensuring the quality of engineering and technical education in the country. The board evaluates academic programs of higher education institutions and grants accreditation based on established national and international standards.

Established in 1991, IUBAT is one of the pioneering private universities in Bangladesh. Founded by the renowned educationist and former Director of IBA, University of Dhaka, Professor Dr. M. Alimullah Miyan, the university has consistently demonstrated excellence in academics, research, and innovation, earning both national and international recognition.
