It is unfathomable that an engineering college that has been in operation since 2009 has neither permanent faculty nor requisite staff. Indeed, guest faculty and staff from other colleges on deputation run the college, which is greatly detrimental to offering standard education to its students. We see this sort of neglect across the board at different levels of our educational system where physical infrastructure often gets priority in planning. However, it seems that when it comes to planning and allocating human resources, there is often a mismatch. The college was envisaged originally to run three departments, viz. electrical and electronic engineering, civil engineering and computer engineering. The first two departments are in operation whilst the third never got off the ground. 

Yet we find that when it comes to procurement, all requisite equipment, including a laboratory has been set up. All this naturally comes at a cost to the national exchequer but remains inoperable due to lack of personnel. So, for the past eight years, the college has not been able to open its doors to students in that department. The fact that guest faculty have to be hired in lieu of regular teachers, the onus of bearing their cost lands on the average student who pay an extra Tk. 3,100 every six months on top of the regular fees. If it is the intention of authorities to impart quality education, this anomaly has to be addressed immediately. There is no point in opening technical institutes if it is not staffed properly.
