University Watch
public · science and technology · Khulna
The university remains a dormant project that has failed to move past the legislative approval stage, lacking leadership, infrastructure, and academic operations.
Satkhira University of Science and Technology is pre-operational as of May 2026. The enabling legislation (Satkhira University of Science and Technology Act 2023) was passed by the 11th National Parliament on 2 November 2023, with Education Minister Dipu Moni presenting the bill; Cabinet had approved the draft on 4 September 2023. PM Sheikh Hasina had given initial approval on 7 March 2021 following advocacy by local civic groups. No campus land has been acquired; a seminar held on 14 October 2023 by the Satkhira University Implementation Committee called for land acquisition along the Satkhira-Khulna highway and proposed beginning instruction in rented facilities in 2024 -- this has not been confirmed to have occurred. No vice-chancellor has been appointed; the university was absent from both the March 16, 2026 batch (7 universities, including DU, RU, CU, JnU, BOU, KUET, Dhaka Central) and the May 14, 2026 batch (11 universities, including BUET, Comilla, Islamic, Barishal, Noakhali S&T, Pabna S&T, Rangamati S&T, MBSTU, Jamalpur S&T, DUET, JKKNIU). The university is listed as UGC-affiliated on Wikipedia; no independent confirmation from UGC's own site was retrievable due to SSL errors. No official website exists. Student, faculty, and budget figures are all null as the institution has not commenced operations. Acronym SSTU used by local Facebook community page (Satkhira Science & Technology University) and Wikipedia; this record uses that acronym pending any official designation.
