Good private University But now a days lots of problems in this university. They pass the golden day..
1st Private university for Pharmacy study in Bangladesh
This University is known to everyone. They have some beautiful buildings with a nice environment. They also have lots of foreign students.
Absolutely no facilities.. It doesn't even have a ground to play. Or a place to sit.. .. How do you call this a university
This is my university. It has passed it's golden days when our founder was alive. The new administration has big shoes to fill & in my opinion has a lot of potential. I hope they reach it. Some facilities are still under construction.
Private University with both Medical and Engineering campus. Educational expenses is bit of expensive I think.
Private medical college and hospital and a university too, with lot of International students from Nepal, India, Maldives, Sri Lanka but the institute is highly expensive.
Private medical university where local and foreign students study in medical science.
Nice place. Nice view. Good service. Familiar university
A reputed hospital in ctg. There services is wonderful.
