How the Ulkaa Edu Rank works

Overview

Eastern University is a private university at Ashulia Model Town in Savar, Dhaka, established in 2003 under the Private University Act 1992. It teaches through five schools. The Ulkaa Edu Rank 2027 places Eastern University in the 51-75 band. The position is computed from the published methodology. UGC figures record 1,933 students (2023) and 113 teachers, 22 of them with a PhD (2023).

The Ulkaa Edu Rank draws on indicators such as first-year intake, research output and citations per work, the share of teachers with a PhD, students per teacher and recognition in QS and THE tables. Each indicator has a published weight and a stated data year, so a band is a summary of public data and not a verdict on any one programme.

Wikipedia says the curriculum follows a North American model for business and engineering and a UK model for law and English. The university runs three semesters a year: spring, summer and fall. It publishes a biannual Eastern University Journal and has a Centre for Research and Development.

Admission

Eastern University admits students at the undergraduate level for the programmes listed on its official website (http://www.easternuni.edu.bd). UGC data records 714 new admissions in 2023. Entry requirements, test dates, seat numbers and deadlines change every session, so confirm them with the admissions office or the official notice before you apply. Applicants generally need an HSC or equivalent result. Before you apply, compare the programme you want against the current UGC and accreditation information, ask the department about class schedules and lab access, and visit the campus if you can. Tuition and other costs are not covered on this page, so ask the admissions office for the current fee schedule.
