BanBuzz: CU job circular in January 2017

Chittagong University: The Grand Port City of Chittagong, once called the Porte Grande by the Portuguese sailor-merchants, in Bangladesh did not have a public university for long to gather the higher educational needs of the students of Chittagong division. There was a growing demand for a public university among the people of this region in which various modern educational disciplines would be set up in order to enlarge skilled and knowledgeable human resources. Keeping this in view, the then Government of Pakistan decided to establish a university, to be called the University of Chittagong in the mid-sixties. The decision was gradually implemented at dissimilar phases. The major growth of this university occurred during the period following the emergence of Bangladesh as a ruler country in 1971. Originally, the Government of Pakistan planned to develop it as a fully residential public university, but this goal could not be materialized at any point of time due to non-availability of adequate funds from relevant sources. The campus is quite big, stretching over 1754 acres of land decked with hills and dales’ lakes and ponds and stunningly green tall trees. On the softer flat lands grass grows for cattle to graze-a lot of them come from the nearby villages. The campus’s peaceful setting is played up further on bright luminous days by the magnificent milieu of the remote ranges of the Rangamati – Kaptai Hills.
