International Islamic University Chittagong (IIUC) is one of the Government Approved private Universities in Bangladesh. The credit for the idea of establishing this University goes to Islamic University Chittagong Trust (IUCT), which is the founder organization of the University. The Trust is a non-political and non-profit voluntary organization, registered with the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh under the Societies Act XXI of 1860. Under the aegis of IUCT and the grace of Allah (Swt), Islamic University Chittagong got the Government Approval on February 11, 1995 and the University was founded in the same year accordingly. In 2004 IIUC was recognized as one of the 9 Top-graded (out of 52) Private Universities by Government-appointed High Powered Team led by the UGC Chairman. At present it is the largest private University with 287 (183 Full Time) teachers and around 6000 students from home and abroad. The total space used for academic and administrative purposes is around 4,59,990 sft. A good number of full time teachers are studying abroad for higher degrees with IIUC scholarship.

http://www.iiuc.ac.bd History Private university culture in Bangladesh started in the early 1990s. During that period, the government and the intellectual and civil society in Bangladesh started to feel that the existing public universities were not sufficient to meet the increasing demand for tertiary education in the country. To maintain their quality of education, most of the reputed public universities in Bangladesh kept themselves selective and, as a result, a large number of students failed to get admitted into higher education institutions. These issues led the government to permit the establishment of private universities. On 9 August 1992, the Private University Act (Act 34) 1992 was passed. Within the next five years, a number of private universities were established. The International Islamic University Chittagong has been one of them. The students get here moral education with the courses they demand.
