[edit] History
The university was created out of Engineering College, Chittagong, which was established in 1968. The Engineering College, Chittagong, functioned as the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Chittagong. Through a Government Ordinance in 1986 the college was converted into an institution (BIT, Chittagong). The honorable President of Bangladesh is the visitor of the institute. A Board of Governors headed by a Chairman appointed by the President is the policy-making and administrative authority.There were three other similar institutes of technology in the country: BIT Khulna, BIT Rajshahi and BIT Dhaka which have been converted to Khulna University of Engineering and Technology (KUET), Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET), and Dhaka University of Engineering and Technology (DUET) respectively.
