Bangladesh Agricultural University (Bengali: বাংলাদেশ কৃষি বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়, romanized: Bangladesh Krishi Bishshobiddalôe, abbreviated as BAU), was established in 1961. It is the first agricultural university and the second-largest public university in Bangladesh. The university is located in Mymensingh and comprises 44 departments.

History

The Pakistani government set up the Commission on National Education at the end of 1958 to propose how to reorganize the country's education system. One recommendation in the commission's 1959 report was to set up an agricultural university in East Pakistan. There was already the East Pakistan College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry in Mymensingh. The government chose to upgrade the college to East Pakistan Agricultural University. On 18 August 1961, the government did so by promulgating the East Pakistan Agricultural University Ordinance, 1961. Soil scientist M Osman Ghani was appointed the university's first vice-chancellor on 2 September 1961.

The university started with 30 teachers and 444 students. There were 23 departments under 2 faculties, the Faculty of Agriculture and the Faculty of Veterinary Science. The Faculty of Animal Husbandry was added in 1962.

In February 1963, Ghani left to become vice-chancellor of the University of Dacca. S.D. Chaudhuri took over from him at the agricultural university. The Faculty of Agricultural Economics and Rural Sociology was added in 1963. It was followed by the Faculty of Agricultural Engineering and Technology in 1964. A sixth faculty was started in 1967, the Faculty of Fisheries.

BAU Agricultural Museum was established in 2007 and it was the country's first agricultural museum.

Campus

BAU's 1,200-acre (490 ha) campus is in Mymensingh, Bangladesh, 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) southeast of the city center. It is bounded on the east by the Old Brahmaputra River. The master campus plan and key buildings were designed by modernist architect Paul Rudolph.

A palm-lined east-west avenue divides the main academic and administrative buildings to its north from mostly residential and recreational facilities to its south. At its east end is BAU's Shaheed Minar, memorializing those killed during the 1952 Bengali language movement. Nearby is a 2000 sculpture by Shaymol Chowdhury of three standing figures called Bijoy '71. It pays tribute to the sacrifices made during the Bangladesh Liberation War.

Shilpacharya Zainul Abedin Auditorium has a capacity of nearly 2,000. It is used for cultural programmes. The Teacher Students Centre (TSC) is intended to be a focal point of student life and extra-curricular activities. It has dining facilities, newspaper reading rooms, and other common areas. It contains the offices of such student organisations as the debating, drama, and music societies.

The Botanical Garden is set on 25 acres (10 ha) on the bank of the Old Brahmaputra River. As of 2025, it contains 1,500 species, representing about 300 genera and 200 families. The garden is divided into 30 zones by plant type, and includes rock gardens, water gardens, and an orchid house. The Department of Crop Botany manages the garden. The university operates the Agriculture Museum. Opened in 2007, it is the first of its kind in the country and has a collection of approximately 500 agricultural implements. The Fish Museum & Biodiversity Centre was founded in 2009 by Stirling University in a building donated by BAU. It has a collection of riverine species from Bangladesh. BAU also operates ten major farms, including dairy and poultry ones.

In addition to the university's institutes and centres, the campus is home to two national research institutes: Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA) and Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute (BFRI).

Libraries

The library was originally located in one room of the administration building. It contained just 5,000 volumes taken over from the East Pakistan College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry. Since 1969, the central library has been housed in a purpose-built modernist building designed by architect Richard J. Neutra. Originally two-storied, in 2001 it underwent an expansion that added a third story, bringing its size to 66,000 square feet (6,100 m). As of 2025, the library holds 185,000 volumes and 2,000 periodicals, as well as dissertations, microforms, and audiovisual items. The Faculty of Agricultural Economics & Rural Sociology has its own library.

Halls of residence (student dormitories)

As of 2024, BAU has fourteen gender-segregated halls of residence. Nine are for men: Ashraful Haque Hall, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Hall, Fazlul Haque Hall, Hossain Shaheed Suhrawardy Hall, Isha Khan Hall, Shaheed Nazmul Ahsan Hall, Shaheed Shamsul Haque Hall, Shaheed Jamal Hossain Hall, and Shahjalal Hall. Three of these are named after fighters for independence who were killed during the Bangladesh Liberation War and are termed shaheed (martyrs).

Five halls are for women: Begum Rokeya Hall, July 36 Hall, Krishi Kanya Hall, Sultana Razia Hall, and Taposhi Rabeya Hall. The two newest were previously named in honour of then-prime minister Sheikh Hasina and her late sister-in-law, Rosy Jamal. The latter was renamed Krishi Kanya Hall in January 2025. As of 2025, the former is shown on BAU's website as July 36 Hall, a reference to 5 August 2024, the day the Student–People's uprising forced Sheikh Hasina to resign.

There is also a dormitory for PhD students.

Administration

The university is governed by the statutes put in place by the East Pakistan Agricultural University Ordinance, 1961, and subsequently amended by the governments of East Pakistan and Bangladesh. The President of Bangladesh or their designate is the chancellor of the university, and appoints the vice chancellor. The vice-chancellor is the chief executive officer of the university. In September 2024, A K Fazlul Haque Bhuiyan became the vice-chancellor.

Reputation and rankings

The 2024 U.S. News & World Report Best Global University Ranking placed BAU 5th among 5 in Bangladesh and tied for 1775th in the world. The July 2024 Webometrics Ranking of World Universities placed BAU 9th out of 170 in Bangladesh and 2323rd in the world. BAU was ranked 1001–1200 globally in the 2025 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.

Admissions and costs

Admission requires a Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) or foreign equivalent and an entrance exam.

Starting in 2019, all public agricultural universities adopted a cluster system for undergraduate admissions. Under the system, an annual integrated entry exam takes place simultaneously at multiple locations around the country. In October 2024, 51,836 candidates sat the exam for 3,718 available seats. Of those, 1,116 seats were at BAU, with the remainder spread among the other public universities offering agricultural degrees. After the exam, BAU's academic council decided to pull the university out of the cluster admissions system. At the request of the Ministry of Education, the university agreed to continue with the cluster system for the 2024-2025 academic year to avoid confusion and disruption.

BAU charges admission and residential hall fees, plus variable fees for each semester. There are different fees at the undergraduate and graduate levels, and different ones for international students.

Publications

The Journal of the Bangladesh Agricultural University is published on behalf of the Bangladesh Agricultural University Research System. It is a peer-reviewed, open access journal, published quarterly. It accepts original research articles and review articles on all fields of agricultural science. The first volume was published in 2003.
