Foreword by the Vice-Chancellor

Welcome to IUBAT, the first non-government institution of its kind in Bangladesh.

Established in 1991, IUBAT is a government approved university, which has forged
a reputation of quality and commitment among education institutions at home
and abroad.

When IUBAT was originally established, it set out to create an institution of

higher learning which would focus on business administration, agriculture and
technology aspects that could effectively contribute to the agro-economic and
social development of Bangladesh. We believe that we have achieved this by
emphasizing investment in human resource development.

IUBAT has shown dedication and determination to making students hardworking

full-fledged citizens of a fast growing economy. In trying to achieve a career and status, it is all too easy for
students to forget the responsibilities that they have to each other and to society. In today’s world, it is vital
that students realize that the norms and values transcend the individual and the group. IUBAT encourages its
students to study objectively different branches of knowledge and then make choices themselves.

Academic standards of IUBAT are accepted worldwide, enjoying close links with many universities, institutions
and scholarly bodies from all over the world, giving students the opportunity to transfer to relevant programs
and higher education in other countries. We are also privileged to receive professors and academics from other
countries as visiting faculty as well as host students from the collaborating institutions.

At present, the permanent campus of the university on 6 acres of land area with scenic beauty on the bank of
river Turag provides a wide range of facilities for computer science, engineering, science, nursing, hospitality
and agriculture including labs, libraries, classrooms, full-time student counselors, cafeterias and playgrounds
all of which help give IUBAT An Environment Designed for Learning.

At IUBAT, we aim to make you self-confident and flexible so that you are enabled to realize your true potential.
We believe that by attaining your qualifications with us you will undoubtedly enhance prospects of employment
and opportunity to play a key role in a rapidly changing social and economic environment. We hope you will
choose to take your course with us and we look forward to seeing you in the future.

HISTORY
International University of Business Agriculture and
Technology (IUBAT)is the first non-government
university established in Bangladesh. The initial
planning began in 1989 and the university was
established in 1991. Degree programs started in
1992 with agreement with Assumption University
of Bangkok, Thailand. IUBAT strongly lobbied
for the creation of non-government universities
and supported the initiative of the Government
of Bangladesh in passing legislation for formal
establishment of non-government universities in
the country. IUBAT now operates as a government
approved university under the Non-Government
University Act of 1992. The university moved to its
permanent campus on 6 acres of land in December
2004 and began full academic operation in the
permanent campus from Spring 2005.
The tremendous need for developing human
resources of the society to bring in socio economic
transformation through the agro economic
industrial development process constituted the
background for establishing IUBAT. The less than
satisfactory condition of existing universities and
the wide gap between demand and supply (in
quantity, quality and variety) provided additional
basis to think of making an investment in
human resources development through which
fundamental economic and social problems of
the society can be tackled by the people on a self-
reliant basis. This thought process was accelerated
in March, 1989 during a 3 week visit to Kansas State
University by Dr. M. Alimullah Miyan, Director of
Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Dhaka
University, where research and consultation led
to development of a paper incorporating the idea
of a non-government university and also that of
a cooperative agreement with the Kansas State
University to support the realization of the idea.
A formal representation was made to the Ministry
of Education, Government of Bangladesh in June,
1989 on the establishment of this new university.
IUBAT is geared to effectively contribute to agro
economic, technological and social development
of Bangladesh. The aim is to promote higher
46
professional education with relevance to those
growth areas of the economy which require
qualified human resources and create a climate
of professionalism and scholasticism to promote
further development of the society. It is contended
that the fundamental economic problems of
the society can be tackled by people through an
investment in human resources development
and in the process promote self-reliance in agro
economic development and higher education.
Since establishment, IUBAT has grown steadily.
IUBAT now offers one program leading to a post
graduate degree, nine programs leading to
professional bachelor degrees and two programs
leading to professional diplomas. In the short
run, IUBAT has plans to add a few new programs.
In the long run, IUBAT plans to offer programs in
most of the professional disciplines relevant to a
developing society. IUBAT operates as a non-profit
institution and offers academically rigorous, but
practical, instruction in professional disciplines.
Md. Alimullah Miyan is the Founder of IUBAT and
recognized by the Government of Bangladesh
as the Founder of the university. The institution
derived inspiration from a group of educationists
and professionals from within the country and
abroad.
VISION
IUBAT has set out the long-term vision of
producing one professional graduate from each
village/ward/moholla of Bangladesh to contribute
towards creation of a knowledge-based society. To
materialize this vision IUBAT has special provision
for supplementing the family resources of a student
through scholarship, grant, fee waiver, deferred
payment, campus job, student loan and the like.
It is IUBAT policy to cater to needs of all qualified
students who aspire for higher professional
education regardless of the income level of his/her
family through appropriate educational financing
arrangements.
MISSION
The overall mission of IUBAT is human resources
development through appropriate teaching,
training and guidance as well as creation of
knowledge conducive to socio-agro-economic
development of developing societies in general
and that of Bangladesh in particular. This overall
mission is being attained through offering courses
and curricula relating to various aspects of
knowledge as well as providing opportunities for
individuals to acquire skill and relevant experience
in the chosen field of specialization.
ACCREDITATION
IUBAT is approved by the Government of
Bangladesh as a degree granting institution
under the Non-Government University Act of
1992. IUBAT curriculums have been approved
by the University Grants Commission (UGC) of
Bangladesh and vetted by cooperating universities
abroad. Its academic standards are accepted by
the Bangladesh Public Service Commission. IUBAT
is a full member of Association of Commonwealth
Universities (ACU), London and this extended
formal recognition of IUBAT degrees in 35 countries
or regions of the Commonwealth. The College
of Business Administration of IUBAT has been
accepted as a Member of Graduate Management
Admission Council of USA. IUBAT is also a

The Admissions Office and Financial Assistance
Office coordinate and administer student financial

educational fees and what individual students or
their families can pay towards these fees, besides
those made on the basis of scholastic achievement.
The financial need is assessed on the basis of
information provided by the students and their
families in their financial aid applications.
Financial aid consists of money provided to
students and their families as either “gift aid” or
“self help” to help to pay university fees. “Gift aid”
takes the form of scholarship and grants and the
students are not required to repay these awards.
“Self-help” includes deferred payments and loans,
which the students must repay or money awarded
through employment programs. Thus, awards to
students include scholarships, grants, deferred
payment, loans and work, singly or as a package.
IUBAT financial assistance service to students
includes all four types of financial aid and
the assistance program is administered by
the university under different umbrellas like
the Financial Assistance Fund (FAF), IUBAT
66
Multipurpose Cooperative Society Limited (IMCSL)
deferred payment facilities etc. on referral and
recommendation by the Admissions Office.
Students receiving financial aid are required to be
in good standing with the university and maintain
satisfactory academic progress both in qualitative
measure of progress and time frame for completing
the degree objectives. The qualitative measure
of progress shall be in line with the academic
standards of IUBAT and any student receiving
financial aid who is placed on academic suspension
may be suspended from receiving financial aid until
the good standing is restored. As to the time frame,
financial aid recipients will be required to enroll
on a full time basis, every semester, to graduate in
the time prescribed as per the course sequence.
Students who withdraw from the university once
while receiving financial aid will be subjected to
financial aid warning. Students who withdraw
from the university more than once while receiving
financial aid may not be eligible for financial aid.
However, any aid recipient who exceeds 25% of
the required time for graduation will be subjected
to suspension from receiving financial aid.
Students facing extenuating circumstance which
contributed to their failure to maintain satisfactory
progress may appeal to the university for waiving
financial aid suspension.
Long Term Assistance Goals
IUBAT has set out the long term vision of producing
one professional graduate from each village/
ward/moholla of Bangladesh to contribute
towards creation of a knowledge based society. To
materialize this vision, IUBAT has special provision
for supplementing the family resources of a student
through scholarship, grant, fee waiver, deferred
payment, campus job, student loan and the like.
It is IUBAT policy to cater to needs of all qualified
students who aspire for higher professional
education regardless of the income level of his/her
family through appropriate educational financing
arrangements.
Institutional Arrangement for Assistance
To institutionalize the educational financing, IUBAT
has established an educational cooperative in the
form of IUBAT Multipurpose Cooperative Society
Ltd. (IMCSL), with a share capital of 50 million taka
divided in 500 thousand shares of Tk 100 each. One
of the prime objectives of IMCSL is to mobilize funds
for providing educational loan and scholarship
to the members and their dependents to help
them pursue higher education and professional
training. IMCSL is a prelude to establishment of an
Educational Bank with a wider mandate. Anyone
can contribute to the share capital by becoming
a member and pave the way for educational
financing.
IUBAT has also introduced Career Development
Loan scheme for students out of the IMCSL as well
as Financial Assistance Fund (FAF) established at
IUBAT. Besides, facilities of deferred fees payment
have been introduced at IUBAT. Loan under FAF is

procedures.

 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
ACADEMIC ORIENTATION
Education at IUBAT is oriented towards developing
a person in a holistic manner. This entails
developing in the individual an approach to life that
is productive, stimulating, rewarding and beneficial
to the immediate society as well as to mankind.
The General Education Curriculum at IUBAT has
been developed to address this orientation. This
General Education component is common to all
degree programs at IUBAT and is in sharp contrast
to the prevailing curriculum orientation of the
conventional universities of Bangladesh. Thus,
there is a need to specify the goals of the General
Education component along with its rationale.
GENERAL EDUCATION CURRICULA
Language Skills
Besides the mother tongue, students must gain
proficiency in the English language. English is the
medium of most academic discourses and literature.
Students must develop adequate communicative
skills to understand the materials covered by the
university curriculum and function effectively in
an English language oriented environment. Thus,
IUBAT graduates must be able to read, write and
speak effectively in English.
The English language requirement may be satisfied
by passing ENG 101 Basic English Composition,
ENG102 English Comprehension and Speaking,
ENG 203 Advanced English Composition, ELP 02
Intermediate English and ENG 250 Public Speaking
with at least a grade of C by all degree students. All
these are to be taken in sequence and completed
in the initial four semesters in the university.
Students in the post graduate program may meet
the English language requirement by passing ENG
101 Basic English Composition (non-credit), ENG
203 Advanced English Composition and ELP 02
Intermediate English (non-credit lab) with at least
grade C.
IUBAT policy requires that every graduate must
68
demonstrate competence in reading, writing,
and speaking in English in academic and other
contexts. Written work involving examinations,
assignments, and other submissions in all courses
must meet minimum standards of English literacy.
If any student is found to be significantly deficient
in writing in English, s/he may be required to take
remedial work in English, unless the student is
enrolled in freshman English. Such deficiency may
be pointed out by any faculty and shall be made
effective on recommendation of the Department
of Languages or of the Dean of the concerned
College of IUBAT. Meeting the English language
requirement shall be a condition of graduation.
Oral communication skills are of critical importance
in classroom situation and work life and therefore,
students are strongly advised (though not
mandated) to take a course on public speaking,
interpersonal communication or business
communication as an elective during the freshman
or sophomore year.
Students are required to demonstrate competency
in English by undergoing an English Language
Competency Test (ELCT) after successful
completion of all required English courses. ELCT
is conducted in every semester along with the
semester final examination and passing ELCT is a
graduation requirement.
To assist the students in gaining proficiency, English
has been made the First language of the IUBAT
campus. Besides, English Learning Centre has been
established under the Department of Languages
to conduct help sessions for students requiring
special attention.
Quantitative Skills
Basic mathematical skills are required to pursue
university level education and to increase the
power of reasoning at a higher level of abstraction,
inference and precision. All graduates are expected
to demonstrate adequate quantitative skills.
The basic quantitative skills requirement may
be satisfied by successfully completing MAT 107
Mathematics and MAT 147 Applied Calculus
for non-engineering students. For engineering
programs, students are required to undertake MAT
147 Applied Calculus as a basic course. Successful
performance on a Mathematics competency
examination may also meet such requirements.
In addition, some of the Colleges and programs
require successful completion of appropriate
applied and advanced mathematics courses.
To assist students facing difficulty in quantitative
areas, Mathematics Learning Centre has been
established under the Department of Quantitative
Sciences to conduct help sessions.
Information Technology
Information technology is essential to gaining
access to knowledge and such technology is
integrated into the learning process at IUBAT.
Students are required to have adequate
competency in computer use to gain access to
information through Internet and multimedia.
The basic requirement for information technology
is met through successful completion of CSC 103
Fundamentals of Computer and Applications and
CSC 104 Computer Applications Laboratory. In
addition, a College or a program may establish
specific departmental requirements to ensure that
its graduates attain a level of competency covering
the accessing, processing, and presentation of
information using a computer. Such a requirement
must be met by the relevant area student.
IUBAT emphasizes integration of information
technology, particularly use of computer in all
its educational programs and also in the life
experience of each graduate. To take full advantage
of information technology-oriented environment
at IUBAT, students will find it worthwhile to own a
computer.
An Information Technology (IT) Learning Centre
has been established under the Department of
Computer Science and Engineering to provide
69
additional support to students to gain strong
foothold in IT.
Scientific Process
Understanding of scientific principles and
processes is essential to development of a rational
mind. As such, students are required to understand
the processes, rationales, protocols, benefits and
limitations of science and influence of science on
society.
The basic requirements of familiarity with
scientific processes can be met through successful
completion of PHY 109 General Physics, PHY
110 Physics Laboratory Lab by students of non-
engineering programs and PHY 111 Physics and
PHY 112 Physics Lab by students of engineering
programs as well as CHM 115 Non-Engineering
General Chemistry, CHM 116 Non-Engineering
General Chemistry Lab [1], CHM 117 Engineering
General Chemistry [3], CHM 118 Engineering
General Chemistry Lab [1], CHM 145 Organic
Chemistry [3] and CHM 146 Organic Chemistry Lab
[1] courses. Courses in Biology and Geology may
also meet such requirements. A total of 6 credit
hours is the minimum requirement.
Certain programs may require substantially
more course work in sciences, while in some of
the diploma programs, the basic requirement in
science may be waived.
Social Science
Understanding the social, political and economic
systems that shape up a society and the role of an
individual in the community is of central concern
to any educated person. Thus, IUBAT students are
required to be exposed to knowledge relating to
social, political, and economic systems to function
effectively in the contemporary world.
This requirement may be satisfied by taking courses
in economics, psychology, sociology, anthropology,
geography, political science, social work, and
public administration. Presently, the social
science requirement is met through successfully
completing ECO 101 Principles of Microeconomics,
ECO 102 Principles of Macroeconomics, and PSY
105 General Psychology.
Additional requirements may be imposed in
some programs, while in diploma programs such
requirements may be waived.
Distinctive Philosophy
Students are encouraged to develop a distinctive
philosophical orientation to deal with ethical
dilemmas that they face in their profession and
in life at the present, and as those that evolve in
future through innovations in ideas and thoughts.
This requirement is met through successfully
completing PHI 114 Introduction to Philosophy.
Diploma programs have no such requirement.
Grooming
Students are required to demonstrate professional
grooming. To develop professional grooming of
the students, the university offers a course on
grooming which is mandatory non-credit course
for all students and passing in this course is a
requirement for graduation from the university.
ACADEMIC SESSION
The academic year is divided into 3 semesters
namely Spring, Summer and Fall. Spring semester
starts in January and ends in April, Summer

two times a week for 90 minutes. The minimum
number of contact hours in a 3 credit course is
40 clock hours in a semester. Additional practice,

student’s work in a course to determine the
competence as manifested by work and to award
interim and final course grades. The academic
decisions made by a teacher in the performance of
this function are final.
EXAMINATION SYSTEM
In addition to class work, home assignments, term
papers, project works, case studies, quizzes, weekly
tests, presentations, etc., there shall be three
compulsory examinations in each semester for
each course, a first-term, a mid term and the final
examination. First-term and mid-term examination
scripts are returned to students with feedback.
Scripts of semester final examinations are preserved
for 40 days after publication of results.
The general guideline for students is that every
class contact hour is to be backed up by a minimum
of 3 hours of private study. The grade shall be
determined and given by the teacher who is
responsible for the course, keeping in view overall

Alimullah Miyan Award is an extraordinarily merit-
based, the most prestigious Award offered by
the university in memory of its founder Prof Dr M
Alimullah Miyan who founded IUBAT in 1991 as
the first non-government university in Bangladesh,
and was the first Vice-Chancellor of the university.
The award is conferred once a year to one of
the Founder’s Gold Medalists who scores the
highest marks and tops the list of Gold Medalists
of that year. The other conditions of eligibility
include standard course-load in every semester,
completion of the degree within 12 semesters,
and no retake in any course during the study. The
Award Prize is Tk. 100,000/- (one lac). The award is
conferred ceremonially in the convocation of the
university.
ATTENDANCE AND PUNCTUALITY
Students are required to attend all classes,
laboratories, clinics, or other class meetings
officially designated for a particular course. They
are also required to complete all assignments.
IUBAT or individual instructors may make specific
requirements about attendance and class
participation. An instructor, therefore, may assign
a final grade of F in the course to a student who
fails to meet any one of the requirements. Such
requirements are made to be known to students
within the first two weeks of the course. It is
the responsibility of a student to ascertain the
requirements of the course.
73
Only three absences in a course with acceptable
reasons may be excused by the instructor in a
semester. Permission of the Dean is required to
remain absent in three or more consecutive classes
for reasons beyond control (e.g. sickness) of the
student. However, neither absence nor leave of
absence relieves students of meeting all course
requirements. Any student remaining absent in any
class of a course without permission will be served
with a notice of warning. Unexcused absences will
lead to reduced course grade, suspension from the
course or dismissal of the student from the course.
Students must be punctual in attending classes.
The student coming late in a class will be
penalized. Habitual late comers may be suspended
or dismissed from the course. Late submission of
assignments etc. will also be penalized by reducing
the grade earned on the assignment.
Students are also required to attend all seminars,
workshops, debates, ceremonies or other officially
designated activities. Failure to do so will reflect on
the conduct of the student.
ACADEMIC OFFENSES
The students and faculty are jointly responsible
for the academic standards and reputation of the
university. It is well recognized that intellectual
honesty is the basic requirement for development
and acquisition of knowledge. Intellectual honesty
is a pre requisite for continued membership in the
university community.
Forms of intellectual dishonesty are plagiarism,
cheating in examinations, aiding and abetting
cheating, use of essay prepared by other
persons, impersonation of another student at an
examination, misrepresentation of information,
falsification of academic records and unruly
behavior with instructor. These have been
elaborated in the Examination Rules adapted by
IUBAT and a student can secure a copy of the same
by making a request to the Office of the Registrar.
If a student is detected by the instructor in
committing academic offense, it may result in an
‘F’ grade for the course or even dismissal of the
student from the university.
STUDENT IDENTIFICATION
The university aims at developing a distinct
and cooperative student body that will create
a favorable impression in the community and
society by their character and conduct. An
unbreakable plastic identity card will be issued to
each student upon registration in the university. A
student is required to display this card while s/he is
in the campus as well as in the university transport
with the objectives of ready identification and
facilitating acquaintance with fellow students and
faculty. The students are required to attend the
university with prescribed dresses.

 FACILITIES AND SERVICES
Over the years, IUBAT has improved and enhanced
its facilities, services and amenities for the university
community. Opportunity for enlarging such
facilities and services have increased manifold with
the shifting of the university at its permanent
campus as of 2004 and the continual development
of the permanent campus. An indication of the
facilities, services and amenities available to the
university community is provided below.
COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE
The facilities of counseling and guidance are
available to students under the leadership of
qualified clinical psychologists. This service is
provided under the Counseling and Guidance
Centre of IUBAT. Although this is primarily a
counseling service, therapy to a limited extent is
provided as and when needed.
STUDENT ADVISORY SERVICE
The Student Advisory Services basically take
two forms, viz. academic advising and personal
advising. Academic advising is designed to
assist students in analyzing and achieving their
educational and career goals through academic
programs in the university. Each student is
provided specific guidance in choosing courses
every semester, selecting major concentration
as well as choosing courses for meeting specific
degree requirements. This academic advisement is
the primary responsibility of the colleges in which
the student is enrolled. For different academic
programs, there are designated advisors in the
university who render academic advisement to
the students during the dates specified in the
academic calendar of the university. Formal
notification is made to make the students aware
of the advisement period and requesting them to
meet their academic advisors to work out, among
other things, the plan of study for the upcoming
semesters. Thus, each student gets the chance to
work with the advisor of the academic program,
to chart out his/her program of study on a firm
76
basis for the next semester as well as on a tentative
basis for the entire period of study in the university.
The advisement is formally communicated to the
student, sometimes to parent, and to other organs
within the university for smooth functioning of the
academic program.
On the aspect of personal advising, each student
is provided with a faculty advisor on enrollment in
the university, with whom, the student is required
to maintain close contact for personal, academic
and other issues. The faculty advisor continues to
advise the students until the student is fully adapted
to make use of the various advising services of
the university on academic matters through the
academic advisor and personal matters through
the counseling and guidance service.
Academic warnings are issued to students whose
work falls below required standards. In such cases,
the student is asked to consult regularly with the
assigned advisor as well as seek assistance from
the counseling and guidance services. Parents or
guardians or sponsors, who regularly receive copies
of class absence notices, transcripts and academic
warnings or probationary notices, are welcome
to meet the advisor of their wards or sponsored
student.
STUDENT GROUP HEALTH INSURANCE

ACADEMIC SUPPORT SERVICES
Academic Support Service is geared towards
providing assistance to students who need help
in making the transition into an English medium
university operated on a semester system of
education, of which students have limited familiarity.
The services offered include a special academic
course, reading and tutorial assistance, counseling,
referral, educational and cultural activities. To
facilitate the transition to this new environment,
the university offers a required course under the
label of Educational Planning. This course helps
students to adjust themselves to make full use of the
university facilities for their personal development
77
and achieving career goals with less psychological
stress. Besides, individual students facing a problem
in adjustment are also be referred to counseling
and guidance services for personal counseling and

POLICIES GOVERNING LAB USE
I. Introduction
IUBAT—International University of Business
Agriculture and Technology Student Computing
Labs are intended to be used for educational
purposes. This policy establishes guidelines for
appropriate use of Students Computing Facilities.
II. Access to Student Computing Labs
• The lab remains open from 8:30 am to 8:00 pm
except on university holidays and semester
breaks.
• Because the lab is network based, each user
is given an account number commonly
known as login number. Along with this login
number, the user uses a secret code called
user password. This password is selected by
the user alone. Only with these two numbers
a user can get access to the network system.
These two numbers are not interchangeable

GROOMING OF STUDENTS
IUBAT mission of human resources development
calls for holistic development of the person through
the combination of the academic, extra academic
activities as well as personal development and
grooming for an independent professional career.
This mission is achieved through providing
opportunity to the students to develop themselves
within the university system.
All programs in the university involving orientation,
seminars, workshops, certificate awarding
ceremonies, convocations, picnic, cultural activities,
games and sports are organized and conducted by
students of the university. Through this process,
they learn organizing skills and achieve leadership
qualities. These also provide opportunities for the
students to make presentation before the VIPs
and professionals; learn to conduct programs at
professional level as well as acquiring etiquette
and manners of presentations in formal situations.
Over the years this tradition of grooming has taken
firm route in the university culture and is looked
up as a process of personal development as well as
recognition within the university system.
To ensure personal development of the students,
the university has adopted a dress and behavior
code for the students as well as personnel during
their presence in the university campus. The dress
and behavior code at IUBAT is given below for
guidance of the students:
DRESS AND BEHAVIORAL CODE FOR
STUDENTS
In order to enforce cleanliness, regularity and
discipline during presence within IUBAT, it is
desirable to observe the Dress Code. It is believed
that through practice of simple rules, all will benefit
personally and also improve the image of IUBAT.
The Dress Code is a guideline that governs the
dress, manner, language and other activities at
IUBAT. IUBAT has no uniform but to maintain the
same spirit and discipline at the university it is
expected that all students will wear simple, neat
and clean dresses with clean shoes that will reflect
the good taste of all.
There is no detailed list of what can or cannot be
worn but certainly students must not wear dresses
like sandals, ragged clothes, worn or torn shoes, and
must not come to IUBAT without properly getting
dressed up. The boys must not wear sandals; they
must button their shirts and not fold their shirt
sleeves. The boys are required to wear trousers with
85
full or half sleeve shirts including half or full sleeve
Golf- shirts. It is required to put on a neck-tie (not
with golf shirt), while in the campus, to encourage
preparation for a professional career. They must
have decent haircuts and shave everyday (except
those who keep beard). Girls should avoid dressing
up excessively and should wear sandal with belt or
shoes.
The medium of instruction at IUBAT is English.
Many individuals are found to be shy to speak
in English, although they may know English
reasonably well. To overcome this situation and to
increase fluency in speaking English, the language
in the campus should be English. All classroom
interactions are to be in English. All interactions
within the IUBAT campus should be in English.
This covers interactions among students, faculty,
administration and staff. English only in the
campus should be observed by all members of
IUBAT Community and enforcement of the same
should be monitored by all.
Students must observe Dress Code carefully and
wear something plain, comfortable and suitable for
the weather and the occasion within the guideline
indicated above. It is expected that students will
observe courtesy, for example not talk loudly,
run around or use offending words or impolite
language. They must remember that IUBAT has
open class rooms and it is a noise free and smoke
free area.
English only in the campus should receive earnest
attention of all to overcome the handicap in spoken
English.
There is also a dress and behavior code for IUBAT
faculty and staff which is also given below for
information and use by present and prospective
IUBAT personnel.
DRESS CODE FOR FACULTY, OFFICERS
AND STAFF
Through enforcing cleanliness, regularity and
discipline, the IUBAT faculty and staff have a role to
play in building up the image of IUBAT.
The faculty and staff are expected to conduct
themselves in all the IUBAT activities in such a way
that it earns them the respect of all. It is expected
that all faculty and staff would communicate
exclusively in English in the campus and dress
appropriately. It is also expected that the male
members of the IUBAT would shave regularly
(except those who keep beard), have decent
haircut, wear shoes and not sandals, conduct
themselves politely with their colleagues and the
students. It is required to put on a neck-tie, while in
the campus, to encourage the students. The female
faculty and staff should dress suitably.
IUBAT promotes an environment of learning
and as such the personnel should refrain from
talking loudly, behaving impolitely with others
and smoking or eating in the office room, office
or the library. The IUBAT personnel should make
optimum use of the telephone and other utilities.
Everyone at the IUBAT should conduct themselves
in a cooperative and friendly manner.
The adoption of dress and behavior code is a way
of creating an atmosphere which is conducive to
grooming of the students with the assistance of
university personnel. This process of grooming has
already brought forward good deal of dividend to
individual students.
MONITORING
The university has adopted a process of monitoring
of all classes held in the premises, and it observes
the attendance record of the students and provides
for feed back to all concerned. Students are
provided with information on absence from classes
with a copy to their parent, guardian or sponsor.
The faculty is informed of any missed class with
proforma provided for informing the makeup of
lost classes so as to ensure the timely and smooth
conduct of academic work in the university.
Besides, the student and their parents/guardians
or sponsors are kept regularly informed on
attendance, participation in specific university
programs and academic performance of their
wards or nominees. Such feedback process
86
provides an opportunity for early correction of
deviation, and also develops a sense of discipline
among the participants of the academic program in
the university. The students are also provided with
regular feedback on their academic performance
involving examinations and other academic work
submitted for evaluation during the progress of
their course work as well as on terminal basis.
Besides, the students are encouraged to participate
in building up a healthy academic atmosphere in
the university by giving feedback on courses taught
in the university by administering a structured
questionnaire on completion of a course in every
semester. This process takes the form of Course
Instruction Survey and provides the opportunity
for the student to provide structured feedback
on the course content, the conduct of the course,
coverage, instructor relating inputs and over
all learning objective realization. Through this
participation, the students gain confidence in the
academic process and at the same time contribute
to development of a healthy environment for
learning.
AUTOMATED TIME AND ATTENDANCE
SYSTEM
IUBAT uses automated time and attendance
system. Automated Time and Attendance Systems
provide an alternative to mechanical time clock
systems or paper-based timesheets. IUBAT has
adopted this approach so that it can reduce
the data collection and processing time of the
existing paper based attendance system. This
also introduces a significant reduction in the
cost of time and attendance records system. This
technology is derived from the latest biometric
devices. These biometric devices deals with the
fingerprint recognition, face recognition and even
voice recognition. IUBAT is now using a fingerprint
recognition based time & attendance system.
Because of Automated Time and Attendance
System, every aspect requires tracking and monitor
employee activities and management processes
are available on a computer.
It is used for keeping track of employee attendance
and the amount of hours they have worked.
By using instant online data processing of the
initial input, any type of report of the attendance
and work hours can be generated whenever
demanded. New Automated Time and attendance
System can be easily integrated with the current
Operating System (Windows XP). The System can
automatically calculate the hours worked by the
employees. It reduces the time spent in capturing,
chasing, correcting, and collating timesheets. It
also reduces the time consumed in queries about
holidays requests, personal details with employee
self service, and schedule monitoring.
RELIGIOUS FACILITIES
IUBAT has respect for all religious groups and
observes all religious festivals in the university
calendar. Presently, a three storied mosque is
available for Muslim students and faculty with
provisions for prayers by male and female Muslim
students and faculty who constitute the majority of
the university community.
FOOD SERVICES
IUBAT cafeterias are equipped with adequate
facilities to provide food services for the academic
community. The cafeterias are separately operated
on self service basis. Snacks and drinks are available
throughout the day along with provision for meals.
The cafeterias are open for service from 8:30am –
8:30pm every day except on university holidays.
ALUMNI ANDPLACEMENT SERVICES
The Alumni and Placement Services of the university
provides the students and graduates assistance
regarding career planning and employment.
This basically takes two forms viz. assistance in
placement to students in their final semester
for practicum work in real life organizations and
assistance in placement to graduate students in
securing career employment. Student placement
takes the form of providing assistance to students
in short listed organizations that may be available
for practicum work, providing support for
placement of practicum and then ensuring smooth
87
attachment of the student in the organization for
successful completion of the practicum work.
Assistance in career placement takes various forms
of services ranging from on campus interviewing
with the employers to resume referral to employers
seeking graduates for employment. Most services
are available for current students, but seniors
or graduates can also register with this office
prior to their graduation for assistance in career
placement. The university offers a course on career
planning and guidance in which the students
are trained in resume writing and critiquing, job
search techniques and interviewing skills. This
course prepares the student to plan and approach
career exploration. Besides, the placement office
provides individualized counseling on a limited
basis on preparing job applications.
Those who would like to make use of the services
of the alumni and placement office are encouraged
to register with the office for one or two semesters
prior to their graduation by providing an up to
date resume/ bio-data for the file. Besides, they
are well advised to keep this file updated so that
the credentials can be referred to prospective
employers on request basis.
The placement service aims at merging the interest
of the graduates and the employers to their mutual
benefits. Placement is organized both for local and
overseas employment. Placement for practicum
in the form of internship is also done on local
and international basis. Practicum placement has
already taken place in Canada, Pakistan, USA and
UK.
Additional information on the placement services
can be obtained from the Director of Alumni and
Placement Affairs who heads the placement office.
COMPUTATIONAL SUPPORT AND
SERVICES
IUBAT Computer Education and Training Center
(CETC) is geared towards practicing and developing
a healthy computer culture and promotes
Information Technology within and outside its
community. The major objectives of the center are
the development of knowledge, skills, technical
capabilities and resource base to facilitate the
promotion of Information Technology. These are
being realized through teaching, training, research,
computational support and services.
IUBAT has its own network-based computer
laboratory where users share the resources.
The CETC personnel are maintaining the
LAN and the PCs of several offices of IUBAT
including PC assembling, hardware and software
troubleshooting, LAN maintenance and trouble
shooting.
IUBAT has highly skilled and experienced graduates,
working at CETC who can assure quick and proper
PC servicing, LAN installation and maintenance on
home, on-site or on contract basis.
INFORMATION SYSTEM BOARD
IUBAT recognizes the need for a “working”
Information System (IS) involving a consistent
system of information flow, storage, analysis,
etc. Development of a functional system for
information processing and management calls for
group efforts and evolution over time. It is expected
that a working group consisting of selected
representatives from each stratum of information
users can successfully guide the designing and
deployment of IS over short, medium, and long
terms.
As a preparatory step towards formation of IS
Board, an IS Working Group has been formed as of
August, 1998:
Vice-Chancellor Chairperson
Chair, CEAT Vice-Chairperson
CETC System
Administrator Secretary
Business Affairs and
IBS representative Member
Language Society/
English Department
representative Member
BCS/DCS/WebDev
representative Member
IT Society representative Member
Registry Department
88
representative Member
Treasury/ Accounts
representative Member
Library representative Member
Admissions representative Member
Design Office
representative Member
Overseas Advisor Member
The IS Working Group initiated consultations
and meetings from the beginning for the IS
development. Such meetings of IS Working Group
were open for participation by all interested
members of IUBAT Community.
The IS Working Group is represented by selected
persons, one from each “group” of information
users. The term “group” here refers to a number of
people having similar needs in terms of information
processing.
The primary function of the eventual IS Board is to
identify respective representative user group, to
define and determine the information processing
needs of those groups and to propose a portable
and feasible solution to their needs. Other than
the mentioned functions, the IS Board is also
responsible for devising means to regularly make
sure that the IS of IUBAT remains state of the
art, in terms of people, procedure, software and
hardware.
The IS Board will be responsible for formulating
short, mid, and long term developmental plans for
the information systems of IUBAT. The policy and
procedures of IS at IUBAT have evolved through
the IS Working Group, which will eventually be
transformed into IS Board. In this process, IUBAT
expects to ensure a user-friendly IS and anyone
in the IUBAT community can contribute to the
process of evolving a state-of-the-art system in the
university.
ORIENTATION
IUBAT organizes orientation of all new students
shortly at the beginning of each semester. All new
students are required and strongly urged to take
advantage of the orientation. At the new student
orientation program, students receive structured
information on academic regulations, academic
orientation of different colleges, campus life-
style and study habits, counseling and guidance,
library regulations, computational and laboratory
facilities, dress code, student organizations, sports
and recreational facilities as well as learn about the
many opportunities available at IUBAT. Orientation
also provides the opportunity for recognizing the
scholars of the previous semesters with citations
and scholarships.
The existing students welcome the freshmen
through presentation of flower buds and thereby
the foundation of a cordial relation is laid between
the freshmen and seniors. A lively cultural program
conducted by the students, where the freshmen
also at times join, follows the structured part of
orientation. Orientation has already become a part
of the IUBAT culture and so far 105 orientations
have been conducted. Further information on
orientation can be obtained by contacting the
university registry.
INTERNATIONAL OFFICE
The International Office, headed by a Director of
International Programs, constitutes the focal point
for all international activities of the university.The
Director is supported by a DeputyDirector and
an Officer. This office develops and nurtures the
international network of the university involving
formal agreements with as many as 93universities
in the 4 continents, membership in academic
bodies, professional test centers, professional
associations and bodies. The International Office
also deals with proposals for inter-university co-
operation, agreements as well as international
projects. Visiting Professors as well as short term
visitors to the university are looked after by this
office.
The International Office provides counseling,
assistance and other services to international
students and professionals of IUBAT, as well
89
as provides overseas study opportunities for
Bangladeshi students. The later service is primarily
geared towards transfer of students from IUBAT to
international collaborating institutions. This office
also facilitates admission of Bangladeshi students
to overseas universities. The university intends to
upgrade this office into a Center for International
Programs to accommodate all the services required
by the ever growing international network of IUBAT.

a student of the College of Agricultural Sciences
of the university. The song is yet to be officially
adopted by the university but it is going through a
process of refinement for consideration for formal
adoption. The IUBAT song is given below:
IUBAT Song
IUBAT, IUBAT
IUBAT says
Develop, develop your calibre
Care for the nation and be the future
IUBAT, IUBAT
You brighten our life now you see.
Study, study and study
