Military Institute of Science and Technology
Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST) is a public engineering university in Dhaka, Bangladesh. It is located at Mirpur Cantonment and is a government engineering and technological research institution under the Ministry of Defence. The Government of Bangladesh established MIST in 1998 for offering programmes with B.Sc., M.Sc., M.Phil. and PhD degrees in engineering. MIST is a PhD granting public research institution in Bangladesh specialized in engineering.
MIST is the only government engineering institution of the Ministry of Defence of Bangladesh. MIST conducts twelve engineering and architecture departments under four faculties.Major departments have achieved accreditation from the Board of Accreditation for Engineering & Technical Education (BAETE), Institution of Engineers, Bangladesh (IEB) and accreditation work for other departments is ongoing.
A large number of MIST alumni are active in notable engineering, research and non-engineering roles in Bangladesh and abroad.
A student has to go through a rigorous written admission test examination to get a chance of admission into MIST. A shortlisted number of candidates are selected each year based on the results of Secondary (SSC) and Higher Secondary (HSC) board examinations for participating in the admission test. The eligible candidates for written admission test are selected on the basis of top GPA and marks obtained.
On 19 April 1998, the then Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina established MIST for studying engineering in BSc level at Mirpur Cantonment, Dhaka. Academic programs were launched in 31 January 1999. The initial batches included only selected military students. However, feeling the necessity of spreading quality engineering education, the authority decided to admit civil students (both male and female) and from 2002, civilian students were admitted in different departments through passing an admission test. Foreign students were admitted for the first time in session 2008-09.
The maiden department of the institute was the Civil Engineering department, which started functioning in 1999. In 2001, Computer Science & Engineering (CSE) department was established. Mechanical Engineering (ME) department and Electrical & Electronic Engineering department (EEE) which was later renamed as Electrical, Electronic & Communication Engineering (EECE) department were established in the year 2003. Aeronautical engineering department was introduced in 2009. In 2013, naval architecture and marine engineering started its operation. Next three years, other six departments started the academic activities with full swing. MIST started its Masters program in different disciplines from 2012 and MPhil/PhD from year 2014.
MIST is located at Mirpur Cantonment, on the northwest part of Dhaka. The total area confines student's residence, teacher's residence, lakes, sports field, labs, cafe, library, and several towers. Student's hall (Osmany Hall) and teacher's residence (Shapla, Polash) are located at the beginning of the campus. Upon passing the residential area, one can discover a magnificent expanse comprising a beautiful lake and a sports field nestled within the MIST towers. The hallmark of MIST is four academic towers (twelve-storied), and these four towers presents four faculties of MIST. The name of these towers are Faculty of Civil Engineering (Tower-1), Faculty of Mechanical Engineering (Tower-2), Faculty of Electrical and Computer Engineering (Tower-3), and Faculty of Science and Engineering (Tower-4).All departments conduct their academic and other activities within these four faculties. Adjacent to the MIST sports field, there are essential structures including the architecture building, cafeteria, old library(Which is now Officer's Mess), workshops, basketball ground, Physics and Chemistry labs, medical and physical centers, and the administrative tower. These facilities create a dynamic and convenient environment at the heart of the MIST campus. Moreover, this campus has also a beautiful two-storied new library inside the admin tower. The MIST campus further boasts the presence of two enchanting lakes. One lake graces the entrance of the campus, stretching from Osmany Hall to the MIST sports field. The second lake is situated at the rear side of the MIST academic towers, named Monpura Lake, which also connects to BUP.
MIST has two distinct types of students such as Military officer students (including Bangladesh Army, Navy, Air Force) and civil students. Therefore, military students put on uniform as per dress regulation of respective services. And, undergrad civil students should wear uniform with displayed identity card as per 'Dress Code' prescribed by MIST authority. No uniform required for MIST graduate students (M.Sc./M.Engg./PhD.). Only Thursday civil students can wear a casual dress that authority permits. MIST is very strict about student's dress-ups.
