Chittagong Independent University (CIU) started its journey in Chittagong in 1999 as an additional campus of Independent University Bangladesh (IUB). IUB and the founding trust pioneered the establishment of private universities in Bangladesh. CIU was formed by the same trust ESTCDT after the amendment by the private university Act. which required that the Chittagong Campus be registered as a separate university. Accordingly, CIU was founded on 6th February, 2013 in succession. CIU is unique among private universities. It has been providing quality education with international setup and world class facilities in Chittagong. CIU has been following North American Course curriculum with open credit system.
