ORDINANCE

A well-established academic ordinance approved by the Academic Council of K UET controls the undergraduate and post-graduate programs of this university.

ACADEMIC FACILITIES

To support the excellent and high quality academic environment, Khulna University of Engineering & Technology maintains a number of academic units.

Central Computer Center

KUET has its own VSAT facility with a bandwidth of 268 kbps for upload and 728 kbps for download. It operates a large computing network equipped with IBM server. The system has more than 80 workstations along with 20 remote stations. All stations are equipped with latest version computers. All under- graduate and post-graduate students as well as faculties have easy access to the network. Besides this, each academic department maintains Local Area Networks (LAN) which are further connected with the central network backbone. The central computer network provides state-of-art computing software for researchers of various disciplines.

The Central Library KUET operates two types of library system, General Library and Reference semester/term to offer breaks in tedious study routine. One Provost and one/two Library. The General Library provides in house reading and short duration Assistant Provost are appointed from the faculty members to look after the borrowing opportunity of book and other3 reference material to the students and administration of each hall. faculties. The Reference Library provides the in place reading. All students and Sports and Entertainment Faculties can enjoy these facilities for more than 10 hours in every working day. Audio-visual systems are available for studying audio and video documents. Both indoor and outdoor sports facilities are available for refreshment of the Right now the General Library System has more than 39,000 books and 5,000 students. The physical education section of the university, under the control of Journals and periodicals in its collection. The library automation process is on Director (Students Welfare), arranges central indoor and outdoor sports its way and is available in a improvised way. Moreover, Central Library competition annually. The university also organizes annual cultural competitions enriches every year by collecting recent books and journals. Besides the general and occasional cultural programs on some special events like celebration of library system, each academic department maintains rent-based library from different national days, university foundation day, New Year's Eve etc. Besides, which students can borrow textbooks at a nominal rate for the whole semester. a number of cultural and social groups like theater group, debating society etc. Departments also provide Association library, having books donated by old are also active in the campus. students, from where students can borrow books for a semester like rental library.

Where n is the total number of courses passed by the student, Ci is the number of credits allotted to a particular course i and Gi is the grade point corresponding to the grade awarded for i-th course.
