The mission of the Office of Student Welfare

Khulna University of Engineering & Technology is committed to providing its students with a holistic and balanced education, consisting of both formal and non-formal elements. The formal element is primarily academic pursuit, while the non-formal element includes non-academic and extracurricular activities.

The Office of Student Welfare aims to facilitate the all-round personal development and growth of students of the University. We work with other functional units within the University and external resources to provide quality non-formal educational experience to our students. It is our goal to meet students’ progressive needs and help them realize their potential as they advance along their educational path at the University.
