People's University Of Bangladesh
History
People's University of Bangladesh was established on 14 May 1996 as a private university under the Private University Act 1992. The university has two own campuses, one at Mohammadpur and the other one located at Sristighar, Shibpur, Narsingdi.
Shirazul Islam Mollah, chairman of Prime Bank and member of parliament, is the chairman of PUB. The University Grants Commission (UGC) of Bangladesh has approved its syllabi and curricula. The first convocation was held on 29 October 2007 at Bangladesh China Friendship Conference Centre.
In 2016, University Grants Commission (UGC) said that it would not recognize certificates from the People's University of Bangladesh as it did not have a vice-chancellor. In 2015, The Daily Star reported that members of the board of directors had filed cases against each other over internal disputes. The report also stated the university was running illegal campuses outside of Dhaka using a stay order from Bangladesh High Court. In 2018, UGC issued a red notice against the university as a warning to potential students.
