As per the information provided in the website of UNIVERSITY GRANTS COMMISSION OF BANGLADESH, few Universities started their journey following the inception of the Private University Act 1992. The website says, University of Science & Technology Chittagong also got established in 1992, however IUBAT did not start its journey in 1992. It started its journey in 1993, here is the link:
USTC: http://www.ugc.gov.bd/en/home/universityDetails/123 IUBAT: http://www.ugc.gov.bd/en/home/universityDetails/101
Any information given in any website other than the website of UNIVERSITY GRANTS COMMISSION must be considered INVALID. Therefore the claim of IUBAT being the first private university of Bangladesh is invalid.
Few University started its journey in 1992, whoever started its journey before the inception of PRIVATE UNIVERSITY ACT 1992 should not be counted as valid one as they did not have any recognition from government.
Therefore, it can be said that NSU is one of the few universities those started its journey just after the ACT got passed in parliament.
The question arises because I have seen claims by Darul Ihsan Univ, and some other Universities that those are the first pvt univs..... Can anyone cite a definitive reference on this? Until then, I guess we can omit the fact. -- Ragib 07:15, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I agree that many other Universities claim that theirs are the first, But the thing is that they might have started operating without the approval of the UGC of Bangladesh. North South University is the First one to get the approval as a Private university. So, officially North South University is the First Private University of Bangladesh and also holds the first position in the UGC ranking. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bakedcaked ( talk • contribs) 07:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC).
Lamea and Nahid, I think a separate section for Accreditation and Collaboration will be more appropriate than just putting all the names (affiliated universities) in the info box. Please think about it. Niaz bd 10:05, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Nahid, I do agree that I was too harsh on this article but there was a reason. Some of the NSU guy created NSUSS page and uploaded their pictures without any text. They are using WP as a self-promoting site. Moreover, it became a common trend that people associated with NSU are including their website links as an External Link where there is no direct connection with the main article. Simply self-promotion, nothing else. By adding those tag I tried to draw their attention and convey a message that Stop self-promotion and try to improve your university article. Anyway, soon after I felt that I was too rude on that article and tried to remove few of the tags but due to internet connection shutdown I couldn't. Thanks for removing extra tags. Niaz (Talk • Contribs) 02:24, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
Whenever I visit this page, I wonder, is it a university page or a club page? I guess it became a duty for all the NSU club excom to create a separate section on their club and write anything with extravagant citationless (not even primary) claims. I would like to draw attention of the members from WikiProject Bangladesh and Bangladeshi Universities to have a look at this article. Waiting for your replu...! Cheers. -- Niaz (Talk • Contribs) 16:41, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
I tried to clean up the section, but halfway through fixing the "cut-pasted" club-cruft, I gave up. Removal of all such club advertisement (some of it seems to be pasted from club websites) is the only solution I can think of now. -- Ragib ( talk) 04:56, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
Due to recent vandalism and edit war among several anon IPs and new users, I have semi-protected the article. It also needs massive cleanup, references, and wikification. -- Ragib ( talk) 19:52, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Just want to remind everyone of the following:
Now, given the above discussion and the newspaper reports, I think the following may be a compromise to both the parties here:
It is incorrect that we need to "censor" information about a rape happening at NSU if that has gained widespread media coverage. As mentioned above, wikipedia is not censored. Barring undue weight, any such significant incident can and should be included in the article. Wikipedia is NOT a student recruitment brochure for NSU. -- Ragib ( talk) 19:10, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

consensus for this alteration before using the

The first thing we need to agree on is whether this should be included in the article and then we can worry about how to include it.
The main policies and guidelines that apply to this are:
I have read comments stating other articles do not contain similar incidents, therefore this article should not do so either. This is not a valid argument as whatever is or is not included in other articles doesn't matter (see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS and Wikipedia:I just don't like it). If this incident is notable then there is no reason why it should not be included in the article but it has to be covered in a neutral manner providing all viewpoints. We can only use valid sources and things like facebook and blogs are not reliable sources and should be avoided. I would like to hear opinions particularly from those who suggest this incident should not be included, citing Wikipedia policies in their arguments and remembering that Wikipedia is not censored. → AA ( talk) — 01:12, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
On the other side, can all who advocate including this topic in the article list all the sources to be used as reference. → AA ( talk) — 01:30, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
The section is highly exaggerated. I think students should immediately inform NSU authority to work with Wikipedia. The content is written in a way that amplifies the one incident into something very big. It also refers to rape "incidents" - plural, there are no such evidences of multiple events either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saquib h ( talk • contribs) 18:07, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
Firstly, I've been a bit busy lately so haven't been able to help you folks out following the various comments above until now.
Secondly, remember no personal attacks. I will block anyone who makes any personal attacks directed towards another editor.
Before we continue, everyone should read up on what a reliable source is. Being online or in english is not a fundamental requirement so newspapers in Bangla can be equally reliable as online versions provided they can be verified. We will assume good faith on the part of those who provide references and if scans can be provided then it will certainly add an extra level of comfort for acceptance.
We are discussing here whether to include this topic in the article or not. Until there is consensus, do not add the information. There is no rush.
Now onto the issue, Nmuid has made a good case for the topic not to be included in the article. I have asked those of you who think this warrants inclusion for a list of references. Saikhrahmed has provided a scan of The Daily Star. I am unable to see the date/volume of the issue. Can you cite the date, volume, page no. please so that it can be verified on their site (since they have an online presence). I am still waiting for a list of other reliable sources. Please list them here so that we can discuss their acceptance. → AA ( talk) — 20:23, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
29 November, 2009 was a government holiday. I am not pointing fingers here when I say that may be there have been some misunderstanding. Moreover, I have never seen any newspaper to publish headline without capitalizing each word. 119.30.39.34 ( talk) 22:02, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
The Criticism and Controversy Section is Back. No explanations necessary unless similar section is removed from Rajshahi University. The Daily Star and The New Age are the highest circulating English newspaper in Bangladesh.

This section is overly complex listing all the courses that are on offer. The section needs to be trimmed in accordance with the guidelines on college and university articles (see Duke University, Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur). → AA ( talk) — 01:27, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
For trimming the academic listing without removing necessary information, I prefer the model used in Chittagong University of Engineering & Technology. All the schools and department names should be listed under "Schools and Departments" section and a separate section "Academic Programs" should include very short description like this... "NSU offers a number of Undergraduate and Masters degrees in the fields of Business Administration, Computer Science,........" What do u think?-- Nsuuser ( talk) 00:44, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
CUET is not a good example either. That article is not formatted well, and have unnecessary information presented in haphazard manner. A better example is Rajshahi_University, which used to be a featured article, but is still in very good shape, and shows what a university page should look like. -- Ragib ( talk) 01:34, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
I am trying to write a brief but informative description for the academic section. Given that these schools of NSU does not have a 50 years' history and the university's website is not that much informative, the description might not be as good as RU, but it will not contain any unnecessary information. I will also try to collect the catalogs and publications of each individual school to find new information. It might take some time. In the meantime, if anyone has any suggestions or anyone rewrites this section, please post it here first before posting it to the main page. Discussing would make the work much better. -- Nsuuser ( talk) 22:46, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
I would like to add some more information about nsu library.if u give me permission it will be helpful for me Masud nsu ( talk) 13:17, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Deleted portions which seem to be copy-paste from university websites. Now the departments section only list the departments and courses offered, nothing superficial like "follows American curriculum" or "offers skills and knowledge" Esha795 ( talk) 11:32, 20 November 2010 (UTC)
If Club Activities are so much highlighted. Then I would request you to add IIUPE (International Inter University Photography Exhibition) under NSU Photography Club's activities. After all this is a huge platform provided to the student photographs internationally, since 2000.
For details you can log into North South University Photography Club's website: http://www.nsupc.org/iiupe.html
Thank You.
Dear all,
There is a network of NSU Graduates that should be mentioned in the North South University page in Wikipedia. There is a link from North South University's official page to AANSU website. AANSU official website is http://www.aansu.org/
