Britannia University (BU) ( Bengali: ব্রিটানিয়া বিশ্ববিদ্যালয়) is a private university established in 2010 under the 2010 Private University Act. The university is located at Paduar Bazar, Bishwa Road, Comilla, Bangladesh.
In April 2022, the University Grants Commission (UGC) directed the university to stop enrolling students. The UGC stated that the university has been operating without a vice chancellor appointed by the chancellor since 2017, and has never had a pro-vice chancellor or treasurer. The teaching staff is inadequate in number and qualifications, and no research is being conducted. Furthermore, the university has failed to move to a permanent campus by the statutory deadline, and "the library is useless". [1] [2]
Until permanent facilities are constructed, Britannia University's temporary campus is at Paduar Bazar in Comilla town. [3]
