Today I will talk about another university, which is ranked 5th in Bangladesh, give a little hint, it has military in its name. What did you catch? Yes, today I will talk about the Military Institute of Science and Technology.
Military Institute of Science and Technology (abbreviated as MIST) is a government engineering university in Bangladesh, located in Mirpur Cantonment. It is an autonomous body of the Ministry of Defense which imparts higher education in engineering. After independence, Bangabandhu expressed optimism at the Bangladesh Military Academy that one day researchers and engineers from the developed world would come to Bangladesh. He first envisioned a state-of-the-art engineering education and research institute for the Bangladesh Armed Forces.
On April 19, 1998, the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina laid the foundation stone of MIST to study BSc engineering for the officers of the Bangladesh military at Mirpur cantonment in Dhaka for the realization of that dream and for the technical development of the Bangladesh military. Initially, education programs were conducted from civil engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, mechanical engineering and computer science and engineering departments, but later other new engineering departments were opened.

Since 2002, it has offered civilian students the opportunity to participate in the entrance examination and study here.
MIST currently has 4 faculties and 12 departments of engineering and architecture. BSc in Engineering, MSc/M. Engineering, M. Phil. and PhD degrees are awarded. MIST has established state-of-the-art laboratories and research centers for excellence in engineering education, which the Government of Bangladesh considers an important part of MIST.
Before 2008, MIST was part of Dhaka University. Currently it is affiliated to BUP. Previously only military officers participated, since 2002 civilian students have the opportunity to study here by participating in the entrance examination. MIST currently has 12 departments of engineering and architecture in 4 faculties. BSc Engineering, MSc Engineering /M. Engineering, M. Phil. and Ph.D. Engineering degrees are offered by MIST. Its authority is the Ministry of Defense and the Directorate (Board of Directors) of the military (Army, Navy, Air Force).
There are a total of 350 teachers including 130 PhD holders. 20 teachers are doing Ph.D. Current student strength is 3400+ at undergraduate level, 600+ students at postgraduate level and 50 students at PhD level. Number of Graduate Engineers (2022) is 7200+. The Government of Bangladesh has established state-of-the-art laboratories and research centers at MIST for excellence in engineering education. Currently all engineering departments are accredited by Bangladesh Engineering and Technical Accreditation Board (BATE), Institution of Engineers Bangladesh (IEB).
