Bangladesh University of Textiles (BUTEX) – Admission Details
Bangladesh University of Textiles (BUTEX) is the premier public university in Bangladesh dedicated to textile and engineering education, research, and industry development. It offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs primarily in textile engineering and related fields. Admission to BUTEX is highly competitive and based on academic performance and a comprehensive admission test.
1. Introduction to BUTEX
BUTEX originated as a specialized institute to meet the human resource needs of Bangladesh’s textile sector, which is one of the country’s largest industrial and export contributors. Over time, it became a full university offering Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees designed to equip students with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills relevant to the textile industry.
Admission to BUTEX is competitive because it focuses on engineering disciplines where demand exceeds supply and because the textile sector plays a vital role in Bangladesh’s economy.
2. Undergraduate Admission (B.Sc. in Textile Engineering)
