The Port City of Chittagong in Bangladesh was not blessed with a public University for long to meet the higher educational needs of Chittagong division. There was also growing demand of the people of this region to set up a public university with various modern academic disciplines for facilitating the process of skilled and knowledgeable human resource development.
Then the Government decided to establish Chittagong University at Chittagong, the largest port city of Bangladesh during the late sixties. The decision was gradually implemented at different times. The major growth of this university occurred during the period following the emergence of Bangladesh as a sovereign country in 1971.
Originally, the Government planned to develop it as a fully residential public university. But this goal could not be materialized subsequently due to non-availability of adequate fund from the relevant sources.
