KUET offers B. Sc. Engineering degree in undergraduate program as well as M. Sc. Engineering, M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees.
History
With a view to providing more opportunity and autonomy for improvement in the quality of higher education and research in engineering and technology, the Institute was upgraded and renamed as Khulna University of Engineering and Technology in September 2003 under the “Khulna University of Engineering and Technology Act, 2003.” KUET is financed by the government through the University Grants Commission
University Grants Commission (Bangladesh)
The University Grants Commission of Bangladesh was established on 16 December 1972. It was created according to the Presidential Order of the Government of People's Republic of Bangladesh.-Purpose:...
. The university is an autonomous statutory organization of the Government of Bangladesh. There are various statutory bodies like Syndicate, Academic Council, Finance Committee, Planning and Development Committee, Committee for Advance studies and Research, Academic Committees, etc. for policy- and decision-making on aspects of the university under the frame work of the Act.
There are several national and international research projects running in KUET. Among them in the Department of Civil Engineering European Commission (EC) funded four projects are running now successfully.

Library
The university operates two libraries: the General Library and the Reference Library. The General Library provides in-house reading and short-time borrowing of books and other reference material. The Reference Library provides the in-place reading.All students and faculty can enjoy these facilities for more than 10 hours per working day. Audio-visual systems are available for audio and video documents. The General Library System has more than 30,000 books and 5,000 journals and periodicals in its collection. A library automation process will be available within short time. Moreover, the library is enriched every year by collecting recent books and journals.
Besides the general library system each academic department maintains a rent-based library from which students can borrow textbooks at a nominal rate for the whole semester.
Central Computer Center
KUET has its own VSAT facility with a bandwidth of 512 KByte/s for upload and 1024 KByte/s for download. It operates a large computing network equipped with six IBM servers. The system has more than 250 workstations interconnected by 1 GB optical fiber line and six optical switches. All stations are equipped with latest version computers with necessary printing, scanning and CD writing facilities. All students and faculty have easy access to the network.Each academic department maintains Local Area Network (LAN

Admissions
Candidate for admission into the first-year class must have passed the H.S.C. Examination from an Education Board in Bangladesh (after 12 years of schooling) with Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics as his/her subjects of examination in Higher Secondary level or examination recognized as equivalent thereto and must also fulfill all other requirements as may be prescribed by the Academic Council on the recommendation of the Admission Committee. In case of confusion regarding the equivalence the case may be referred to the central Equivalence Committee.The rules and conditions for admission into each department shall be framed by the Academic Council on the recommendation of the Admission Committee in each year.
All candidates for admission into the courses of B.Sc. Eng. must be citizens of Bangladesh unless the candidature is against the seats that are reserved for foreign students. Candidates for all seats except the reserved ones, if any, shall be selected on the basis of merit. The rules for admission into the reserved seats shall be framed by the Academic Council on the recommendation of the Admission Committee.
Halls of residence
Halls of residence at KUET are important features in campus life. There are six residential halls (1 female, 5 male). The administrative heads of a hall are its provostProvost (education)
