Recent activity

Provenance & notes

verification_status=partial: (1) vc_since is October 28, 2024 -- the date the BUTEX official announcement was published (textilefocus.com reports appointment gazette as October 27, 2024); appointment date is internally consistent across two sources. (2) pro_vice_chancellor and treasurer null -- the official BUTEX officers page (newsite.butex.edu.bd/officers) does not list a Pro-VC or Treasurer; these positions may be vacant or unfilled; no press record found. (3) registrar Dr. Rasheda Begum Dina sourced directly from the BUTEX officers page. (4) student_count 3,039 is from Wikipedia citing university data (2,943 undergraduates + 96 postgraduates); this predates current 630-seat intake cycle so likely understates current enrolment slightly; annual intake alone is 630 UG + postgraduate cohort. (5) faculty_count 149 academic staff from Wikipedia. (6) annual_budget_bdt null -- no verifiable primary budget figure found; UGC annual report PDF exists (butex.portal.gov.bd) but not accessible in this session. (7) BUTEX was NOT in either the March 16, 2026 or May 14, 2026 government VC reshuffle batches (both batches confirmed via unb.com.bd and multiple sources; BUTEX VC was appointed October 2024). (8) campus_count 1 main campus at 92 Shaheed Tajuddin Ahmed Avenue, Tejgaon Industrial Area, Dhaka-1208 (11.67 acres); oversees 10 affiliated textile engineering colleges (Tangail, Gopalganj, Jhenaidah, Rangpur, Begumganj, Pabna, Barisal, Chittagong, Narsingdi, Jamalpur) and 1 training institute -- these are affiliates, not campuses. (9) Bangla name বাংলাদেশ টেক্সটাইল বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় confirmed by butex.portal.gov.bd (official govt portal) and butex.edu.bd homepage.
