The government has appointed two new members to the syndicate of Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology (Cuet) for a two-year term.
The Ministry of Education issued a notification in this regard on Sunday, through its Secondary and Higher Education Division.
The appointees are Engineer Md Iqbal Karim, additional chief engineer of the Public Works Department, and Engineer Shafiqul Islam Khan, a retired senior mechanical engineer of the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) under the Local Government Division.
Both have been nominated under the category of representatives from research or industrial organisations related to science and technology.
The notification, signed by Education Ministry Assistant Secretary Md Sultan Ahmed, said the appointments were made under Section 18(1)(cha) and Section 18(2) of the Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology Act, 2003.
It also cancelled an earlier order issued on 16 February 2025, replacing the previous nominations with the two new appointments.
The newly appointed members will serve on the university’s syndicate for two years.
The ministry has notified the Cuet vice-chancellor and other relevant offices to take necessary steps regarding the appointments.
