Curriculum of Private universities
Istiaque Uddin Rifat, RUET
From the very beginning private universities of our country opted only for the subjects having great demand. At first it was very common to set up a private varsity with only two subjects: BBA and Computer Science. After some time they moved to Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) with the change of trend. This entry to the arena of engineering was almost sound, as the lab facilities for CSE is not that expensive or bulky. But over the last few years, those universities are launching subjects like Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) and Electronic and Communication Engineering (ECE) following the recent boom in mobile and telecommunication industry. Subjects like EEE and ECE demand high-tech labs with bulky and expensive equipment, which most of the private universities cannot provide. On the question of education quality, it is rarely satisfactory in a few varsities only. Most of the varsities never had their own teachers. Those hired teachers can't make quality engineers. So before allowing private universities to launch engineering subjects the authorities should ensure a sufficient number of teachers and proper lab facilities.
