What does National Institute of Textile Engineering and Research - NITER do?

National Institute of Textile Engineering and Research is also known as NITER located in Nayarhat, Savar, Dhaka. It is the largest Textile Engineering campus in Bangladesh. It offers the Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) degree in Textile Engineering (TE), Industrial and Production Engineering (IPE), Fashion Design and Apparel Engineering (FDAE), Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE) & Master of Science (M.Sc) degree in Textile Engineering & Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree in Textile and Apparel Value Chain in coordination with the University of Dhaka. It is an education and research organization and a constituent institute of the University of Dhaka. The institute is a partnership between the Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA) and the Ministry of Textiles and Jute, Govt. of Bangladesh. NITER was previously evolved from Textile Industry Development Center (TIDC) which was established in January 1979 and once emerged as the only training centre capable of imparting practical oriented quality training for professionals engaged in the textile manufacturing industry. The main objective was to provide skilled manpower for the government-owned textile industries. Later on, from 1994 to 2007 this organization was known as ‘National Institute of Textile Training Research and Design (NITTRAD)’. To meet the upward demand for skilled textile engineers for the textiles and allied sector of Bangladesh, the objective was changed. In this continuance, the operational management of the institute was handed over to Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA) on September 2008. From 1st January 2013, the Ministry of Textiles and Jute, according to a suggestion from the University of Dhaka, changed the name of the Institute to National Institute of Textile Engineering and Research (NITER). From 2010 to 2011 session NITER started Bachelor of Science (B.Sc) in Textile engineering course under the University of Dhaka.
