Private universities are universities that are not run by governments. However, depending on location, private universities may be subject to some form of government regulation. Unlike Public University, private universities are supposed to be non-profit organizations.
After the Private University Act, 1992 was introduced, a number of private universities were founded in Bangladesh. The Act was later amended in 2010.
All private universities in Bangladesh must be licensed to operate by the University Grants Commission. Certification from extra-UGC approved universities is considered invalid.
