Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education

BAETE provides accreditation to programs offered by institutions of higher learning approved in Bangladesh. In general, the accreditation of a program recognizes and acknowledges the value of transforming a student into a capable engineer with sound knowledge of fundamentals and an acceptable level of professional competence. Accreditation is granted only to programs and not to the institution as a whole. The same program offered at different campuses of an institution must be accredited separately at each campus. The evaluation of a program will include assessment of both qualitative as well as quantitative factors in the process leading to an accreditation decision. Both Self-Study Reports and On-site Visits are part of the review process. In 2016, BAETE became a provisional signatory of the Washington Accord.
