Annual Report 2012-2013 81
Mr. Zulfiqar Hasan Khan are working on Non Linear Optics and
Laser Spectroscopy.
Prof. Dr. AFM Yusuf Haider is leading the research in laser
spectroscopy, specifically Laser-induced Breakdown
Spectroscopy (LIBS). Prof. Dr. Kazi Monowar Abedin, Prof. Dr.
Aminul Islam Talukder, Dr. Md. Wahadoszamen, and Mr.
Zulfiqar Hasan Khan are also doing research in the same
research group. Using the advanced LIBS system installed in the
Center for Advanced Research (consisting of a high power Q-
switched Nd-YAG Laser with harmonic generators,
computerized scanning monochromator and gated/intensified
CCD), they have worked in the two main topics:
a. Measurement of the Lifetimes of the Upper States of
Different Transitions of Excited Neutral Nitrogen Atom (N
I) by Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy:
Lifetimes of the upper states of different transitions of
excited atom can be estimated by measuring the line
intensity of a transition as a function of delay between the Q-
switching of the laser and the opening of the window of the
ICCD. The lifetimes of the upper level corresponding to the
three transitions from 2P2 (3P) 3p 4S3/2 to 2P2 (3P) 3s 4P1/2
(742.346 nm), 2P2 (3P) 3p 4S3/2 to 2P2 (3P) 3s 4P3/2 (744.27
nm) and 2P2 (3P) 3p 4S3/2 to 2P2 (3P) 3s 4P5/2 (746.851 nm),
were measured by this technique. The corresponding average
lifetimes () of these transitions are 199.2 ns, 92.6 ns and
73.5 ns. These values compare pretty well with the measured
lifetimes of 203.8 ns, 96.7 ns and 59.2 ns for 742.346 nm,
744.27 nm and 746.851 nm as reported by Hibbert et al. The
plasma cooling temperature (excitation temperature) lifetime
was found to be 1225.4 ns.
b. Detection of Trace Amount of Arsenic in Groundwater by
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy and Adsorption:
LIBS technique coupled with adsorption has been applied
for the efficient detection of arsenic in liquid. Several
adsorbents like tea leaves, bamboo slice, charcoal and zinc
oxide have been used to enable sensitive detection of arsenic
presence in water using LIBS. Among these, zinc oxide and
charcoal show the better results. The detection limits for
82 University of Dhaka
arsenic in water were 1 ppm and 8 ppm respectively, when
ZnO and charcoal were used as adsorbents of arsenic. To
date, the determination of 1 ppm of As in water is the lowest
concentration of detected arsenic in water by LIBS
technique. The detection limit of As was lowered to even
less than 100 ppb by a combination of LIBS technique,
adsorption by ZnO and concentration enhancement
technique. Using the combination of these three techniques
the ultimate concentration of arsenic was found to be 0.083
ppm (83 ppb) for arsenic polluted water collected from a
tube-well of Farajikandi union (longitude 90.640, latitude
23.3380) of Matlab Upozila of Chandpur district in
Bangladesh. This result compares fairly well with the finding
of arsenic concentration of 0.078 ppm in the sample by the
AAS technique at the Bangladesh Council of Scientific and
Industrial Research (BCSIR) lab. Such a low detection limit
(1 ppm) of trace elements in liquid matrix has significantly
enhanced the scope of LIBS as an analytical tool.

12. Prof. Dr. Md. Kamrul Hassan: The main research areas of Dr.
Hassan are statistical phenomena which are far from equilibrium.
One of the biggest hurdles in handling problems in such
phenomena is that there hardly exists any systematic standard
theoretical framework for describing them and this is in sharp
contrast to its equilibrium counterpart. However, it has been
found that the stochastic processes and the rate equation
approach in the form of master equation are found to be
increasingly useful in capturing a wide class of non-equilibrium
phenomena and the research work of Dr. Hassans work fall into
this category. To this end, Dr. Hassan recently proposed a model
on condensation-driven aggregation and found the emergence of
fractal analytically for the first time in aggregation process
which has been published in the Physical Review E (Published
by APS, USA). More recently, Dr. Hassan proposed another
model that genetates a stochastic lattice which has scale-free
coordination number disorder and multifractal size disorder
(published in one of leading peer review journals, the New
Jurnal of Physics published by IOP, UK). Dr. Hassan also
presented the work in STATPHYS-KOLKATA VII, 2010 as an
invited speaker (the proceedings will be published in Journal of
Physics Conference Series by IOP, UK).
13. Dr. M. Sahabul Alam is working in the area of Nanophysics. His

Over the last few years Dr. Alam has made nm-scale electrical
measurements using Veeco Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM)
and self-made low-drift STM head equipped with RHK
technology. Using an Omicron UHV variable-temperature
system, he investigated conduction in single molecules between
electrodes, focusing on porphyrins, which are the active
molecules in photosynthesis. Recently, group of Dr. Alam
synthesised Graphene, Graphene Oxide (GO) and Reduced
Graphene Oxide (RGO). They successfully characterized the
structural, electrical as well as optical properties of these two-
dimensional carbon materials. RGO could be a potential
candidate for photovoltaic solar cell as a transparent electrode. In
December 2010, he installed a Scanning Tunneling Microscope
(STM) in the Department of Physics, Curzon Hall, in order to
promote the research work in the area of Nanophysics. The
machine is functioning well. This valuable equipment is donated

Activities
The department of Mathematics started its activity from the
beginning of the university in 1921 with five teachers under the
leadership of Dr. Nalini Mohon Bosu and Mr. Bhupoti Mohon sen,
two renowned Mathematicians of the subcontinent. First it was in the
Secretariat House of the then East Bengal Government, then for
some time, it was in the first floor of the west wing of Kurzon Hall.
Finally, in 1965, it was shifted in the second floor of Science Annexe
Building, Presently named as Kazi Motahar Hossain Bhaban. In the
session 1996-97 4 years integrated Honours Course was introduced.
In the department, there is a seminar Library and a well equipped
computer Lab. The teachers, students and employees of the
department played active role in the Freedom Fight and Liberation
war of Bangladesh. On the wall of the departmental office room,
there is a white stone bearing the names of the martyrs of the
department. The conference hall is named as Shahid Sharafat Ali
Conference Hall and the seminar Library is named as Shahid Azim
Pathagar in memory of the martyr teacher Mr. Sharafat Ali and the
student Mr. Azim respectively. From the very beginning there are
two streams namely Pure Mathematics and Applied Mathematics in
the Masters programme. From the session 1974-75 M.Sc. (Thesis
Group) in Pure and Applied Mathematics, M.Phill. and Ph.D.
Programmes are regularly running in the department. Besides
students of almost all the departments of science Faculty study
Mathematics as their minor course. First in 1948, Ph.D. degree was
awarded from the department. According to the decision of the
meeting of the Departmental Academic committee dated 27.11.2013
and later approved by the syndicate of Dhaka University (dated
01.01.2014), a new department, named `Department of Applied
Mathematics has been opened Admission in the new department
will start from the session 2014-2015.

Physical Chemistry
Research in the fields of surface chemistry, electrochemistry,
photochemistry and kinetics of reactions in solutions and
heterogeneous reactions was continued during the year. In the field
of surface chemistry, reactions of hydrocarbons on various metal
oxides and metal oxide-polymer composites was investigated.
Further, studies on the adsorption of toxic elements on fresh and
used tea leaves was continued. In the field of electrochemistry,
interaction of various organic ligands with metal ions and redox
properties of various dyes is being investigated. Work in the
photoelectrochemistry is also being continued. Work is going on in
the application of the Fenton process and various semiconducting
metal oxides for the degradation of dyes in aquatic medium. New
projects taken up in the physical chemistry research laboratories
include the development of solar cells, removal of arsenic from water
by physical methods, removal of aquatic pollutants and effect of
radiation on pesticides. Besides, several projects on the destruction
of environmental pollutants emitted from factories by physico-
chemical methods were taken up. In this regard, collaboration with
the Lamar University, U.S.A. on the research project solidification
stabilization was continued. Further, collaborative work with
Utsonomia University, Japan, was initiated during the year. A new
joint project on the application of photoelectrochemistry for the
control of environmental pollution was taken up by the physical and
inorganic sections of the department. Further, work on the
preparation and characterization of supported manganese oxide
catalysts was continued. A new project on the preparation of

Annual Report 2012-2013 129
Theoretical Physics is one of the most important of fundamental
sciences. It won't be an exaggeration to say that in fact it is the most
significant original and basic science because it deals with the
"underlying" laws behind most of Physics and the whole of
Chemistry and Biological Sciences. In the words of Dirac who is one
of the greatest Theoretical Physicist of all time--alongside Maxwell,
Einstein and Schrodinger: The general theory of quantum
mechanics is now almost complete. The underlying physical laws
necessary for the mathematical theory of a large part of physics and
the whole of chemistry are thus completely known." In fact we know
that the complete theory governing a large part of Particle Physics
and the whole of Condensed Matter Physics as well as Chemistry
and Complex Biological Systems are contained within a single
mathematical construct that is the Lagrangian of Quantum
Electrodynamics.
The scope of Theoretical Physics is probably the biggest in anything
that a man could do in his life-time. It surpasses every other cerebral
subject that man has ever contemplated. For example, Biology deals
only with life and living organisms; Chemistry is all to do with
elements, compounds as well as the changes they undergo during
chemical reactions but Physics in general and Theoretical Physics in
particular has something or the other to do with everything as it
seeks to understand the whole universe. It tries to comprehend and
explain how everything from the DNA in an organism to the stars
and galaxies, are made up from the same fundamental constituents.
Even Mathematics seems like a pillar and the tool and language of
something greater, which is Theoretical Physics. A key difference
between Physics and Mathematics is that since Physics is ultimately
concerned
with accounts of the material world, it assesses its theories by
comparing the predictions of its theories with data obtained from
observations and experimentations, whereas Mathematics is
concerned with abstract patterns, not restricted by those observed in
the real world. The distinction, however, is not always clear-cut.
There is a large area of research intermediate between Physics and
Mathematics, known as Mathematical Physics.
The range of the scope of Theoretical Physics outmatches any known
discipline in the history of human knowledge. It covers a remarkable
130 University of Dhaka
range of magnitude of physical quantities. At one end, it studies
phenomena at the very small scale of length (10-14 m or even less)
comprising of electrons, protons, etc.; at the other end, it deals with
astronomical phenomena at the scale of galaxies or even the entire
universe whose magnitude is of the order of 1026 m. The two length
scales differ by a factor of 1040 or yet more!!!
The Department of Theoretical Physics, University of Dhaka was
established in 1975, but although very much successful, the
Department had to stop its activities after only three years due to
necessary faculty and infrastructural facilities. This was a very
unfortunate event. Professor A.M. Harun-or-Rashid was the founder
Chairman of the department.
Dr. Golam Mohammad Bhuiyan, Dr. Arshad Momen and Dr.
Md.Kamrul Hassan took the primary initiative for its revival and
they had the major role in the re-establishment of this Department
(thanks to them). Realizing the importance of the study of
fundamental science in the 21st century, the University authorities
decided to revive the Department. At last with the earnest will of the
Department of Physics and the University authorities it was re-
established in 2008 (thanks to them too).
Research Activities
The main research activities of this department are for the time-being
mainly concentrated on Theoretical Condensed Matter, Elementary
Particle Physics (Theory and Phenomenology), Quantum Gravity,
General Relativity and Cosmology. Much stress is given on
computational methods and simulations as they are very important in
some research works conducted in Condensed Matter Physics in
particular and certain aspects of High Energy Theory.
Dr. G.M. Bhuiyan, Dr.Abdus Sattar and Mr.Ruhul Amin are in the
Condensed Matter group.
Dr.Arshad Momen and Dr.Tanvir Hanif are in the Elementary
Particle Theory, General Relativity and Cosmology group.
Dr. Tanvir Hanif's main research interest is in Quantum Field Theory
and Particle Physics (Theory and Phenomenology). His approach is
mainly analytical rather than computational- frequently employing
mathematically rigourous effective field theoretic models and
abstractions. He is also interested in unresolved problems in
Annual Report 2012-2013 131
fundamental physics to date, like colour-confinement in Quantum
Chromodynamics, matter-anti-matter asymmetry ( why matter
dominates anti-matter in our universe), the missing-matter and
energy problem (dark-matter and dark-energy) etc. , consequently an
unified theory beyond the Standard Model of Particle Physics.

Research Activities
The main motivation of this department is to make available the
benefits of modern science and technology in healthcare to the
deprived people globally, particularly in the Third World through
indigenous research efforts. Efforts are being made to extend
existing research activities giving emphasis on application. Four
items of research based on innovations of this group, which got
international acclaim, are gaining momentum and are being pursued
with vigour. These are described below.
Annual Report 2012-2013 133
Focused Impedance Method (FIM) for probing the human body
FIM is a low cost and easily manageable electrical method for
probing the human body, having high potential in the diagnosis and
detection of different diseases and disorders of the human body.
Some of the researches being carried out in the department are:
a. Development of multi-frequency FIM equipment. This will be
useful for the departments research into the detection of
pneumonia and of certain cancers.
b. A feasibility study was performed to assess if FIM can be used for
characterisation of breast tumour; whether it is malignant or
benign. The work was carried out in a private hospital and the
result is impressive. This technique may become an alternative to
biopsy.
c. Development of a special electrode set, to be worn on the hand by
a mother, to measure the respiration rate of babies without
perturbing the baby. Necessary computerised data acquisition and
software to extract the respiration rate was developed.
d. Development of a FIM system for detecting cancer of the cervix.
e. Application of FIM in gastric function study. A student from
another public university is carrying out the work here, under the
co-supervision of a teacher from the Physics department.
f. As an extension of FIM, a Pigeon Hole Imaging (PHI) method is
also being developed to give a coarse image, suitable to locate the
position of an organ, or to follow organs moving inside the body.
A fund has been made available from the International Science
Programme of the Upsala University, Sweden for research in FIM.
Distribution of F-Latency (DFL) as a new method in nerve
conduction.
A peripheral nerve trunk consists of thousands of nerve fibres with
different velocities, and for a proper diagnosis of nerve disorders the
researchers throughout the world have been looking for ways to
experimentally determine a distribution of conduction velocity
(DCV) of the fibres. The only experimental method available earlier
involved complex measurements and lacked accuracy, and was not
suitable for a clinical setting. Therefore this innovation of this
research group has opened up a new horizon in the study of nerve
conduction. Researchers of this department have already been able to
identify patterns in DFL that relate to neuropathy due to cervical and
lumbo-sacral spondylosis.
134 University of Dhaka
Work carried out on DFL and its applications in 2011-12 are
described below.
i. A double blind experiment was performed to study the
effectiveness of DFL and MRI to identify neuropathy on 30
human subjects.
ii. Through an analysis of DFL, an attempt is being made to
obtain the compound muscle action potential. This will then be
compared to that obtained directly. Effort are being made to
extract better diagnostic information by combining the above
two experiments.
International Science Program of Uppsala University of Sweden has
provided funding for this research.
Nottingham University of United Kingdom has started research on
DFL with our collaboration. A former research student of this
department is doing PhD there.
Water disinfection using Solar radiation Energy and other
innovative methods
It can save lives of rural people throughout the globe, particularly
during floods and other natural disasters. The effectiveness of
different variations of the innovated techniques, and some new
methodologies are being studied jointly with the Centre for
Advanced Research (CARS), Dhaka University through
microbiological studies.
Telemedicine
More than 80% of the global population, living in third world
countries like Bangladesh, live in villages. Due to practical situations
it is a far cry to expect these people to have the services of an expert
doctor for their medical treatment directly. Telemedicine using the
modern technological innovations of computers, internet and mobile
phones is coming up as a solution, and many groups are working in
different parts of the world. In this system a patient in a remote
village can get the consultation of an expert doctor sitting in a city
hundreds or thousands of miles away through such communication
facilities. In Bangladesh the health ministry has established computer
video links through internet to 800 health complexes spread
throughout the country with such an aim, and doctors sitting in
Dhaka can virtually see a patient and talk to him or her to prescribe
necessary treatment. Providing a few computer connected diagnostic
Annual Report 2012-2013 135
instruments at the rural end of the network, the quality of this service
could be improved significantly, but procuring such technology from
foreign producers is prohibitively expensive, in addition to the
potential problem of maintenance and repair. In order to provide an
indigenous and affordable solution this department took up a project
last year. Through consultation with the health ministry and other
stakeholders the following five digital instruments were designed
and developed, together with necessary computer software for data
acquisition and transfer through internet.
i. Digital Stethoscope
ii. Digital Microscope
iii. Digital X-ray view box
iv. Digital colposcope (for detecting cervical cancer)
v. Digital ECG (12 lead, diagnostic quality)
Expert physicians examined the devices and have been satisfied with
the performances. Some NGOs are providing telemidicine service
using the above devices.

Faculty of Law (1921)
The Faculty of Law at the University of Dhaka began its journey
from the foundation of the University in 1921. From then onwards
the Faculty has been contributing enormously to the teaching of law.
Until 1973 it offered a two-year LLB programme in the evening.
During the 1973-1974 session, it introduced a three-year LLB
Honours course. The duration of this course was subsequently
extended to four years since the 1977-1978 session. During the 1976-
1977 session, a one-year LLM course was introduced. The Faculty
offers two research degrees in Law: M Phil and Ph D Four Ph D
students and two M Phil students are pursuing their research.
In the 2004-2005 session, a new syllabus was introduced in the
Department of Law for the students of LLB Honours. According to
the new syllabus, the marks for the subjects offered have been
increased from 1700 to 2300. Under the grading system effective
from session 2010-2011, 2200 marks/132 credits against 24 subjects
and 100 marks/6 credits against viva-voce, in-total 2300 marks/138
credits. During the 2005-2006 session Master of Laws (General &
Specialised) courses were introduced in lieu of the old LLM Course
A. Except the general Masters course, six specilised Masters
Courses were launched. Now both General and Specialised Master
Degrees are offered at the Masters level. The specialised Masters
programmes are: Master of Laws in International Law; Master of
Laws in Human Rights Law; Master of Laws in Comparative Law;
Master of Laws in Commercial Law; Master of Laws in International
and Comparative Law and Master of Laws in Gender in Law. There
are 30 subjects in the Master of Laws (General & Specialised) course
from this session. Under the grading system effective from session
2010-2011, there are 500 marks / 30 credits against 5 subjects and
viva-voce and Research Monograph 100 marks/6 credits, in total 600
marks/36 credits.
The total number of students in the Faculty during the 2012-2013
sessions was 778.
The Dhaka University Moot Court Society was established in August
2007 with guidance and supervision of the Faculty of Law. The
Societys Constitution was approved by the Syndicate of Dhaka
140 University of Dhaka
University on 3.7.2007. The Dean of the Faculty of Law is the ex-
officio President of the Society. The Faculty of Law organised the 8th
National Henry Dunant Memorial Moot Court Competition on 13-15
September 2012. Law students from various public and private
universities of Bangladesh participated in the competition.
The Faculty of Law publishes a half yearly journal entitled Dhaka
University Law Journal (The Dhaka University Studies Part-F).
Dean, Faculty of Law is the Editor of the Journal.
The scholarship namely, Shamaila Rahman Memorial Scholarship
is awarded on the basis of merit in each academic session to those
who are promoted from first year to second year, second year to third
year, third year to Hons' final year, and Hon's final year to Master of
Laws.
Moreover, the scholarship namely, 'Professor Dr. Hamid Uddin Khan
Memorial Scholarship' is awarded on the basis of regularity, merit,
poor financial conditions and disability in each academic session for
five students who has promoted from first year to second year.
Currently the total number of the faculty members is 39.
In the aforesaid academic year, Professor Dr. Taslima Monsoor acted
as Dean of the Faculty of Law.

Faculty of Business Studies (1970/2001)
The Faculty of Business Studies, as it stands now, has a long history.
The Department of Commerce was established under the Faculty of
Arts, University of Dhaka in the year 1921.This Department emerged
as an independent Faculty in 1970 with only two Departments the
Department of Management and the Department of Accounting. The
Department of Marketing and the Department of Finance &Banking
were created in 1974. The semester system was introduced in this
Faculty from the session1977-1978. The Faculty of Commerce was
renamed as the Faculty of Business Studies in 1995. During 1994-95,
the names of the B.Com. (Hons.) and M.Com degrees were changed
to BBA and MBA degrees respectively. From the same academic
session, the 4-year BBA Program was introduced in place of 3-year
B.Com. (Hons) Program. The one-year M.com. Program was also
renamed as MBA Program. During the year 2004, two more
Departments were created under this Faculty namely, the Department
of Banking and the Department of Management Information Systems
(MIS). During the academic session2007-2008, two other
Departments were also added to this Faculty namely, the Department
of Tourism & Hotel Management and the Department of
international Business. Later on two Departments were renamed as
Department of Tourism & Hospitality Management instead of
Department of Tourism & Hotel Management and Department of
Banking & Insurance instead of Department of Banking. At present
there are 216 teachers, 13 officers and 85 employees and around
8,500 students in the 8 Departments under the Faculty of Business
Studies.
The MBA (Evening) Program started functioning under this Faculty
in February, 2002. At present a total of 720 students are being
admitted per batch (90 students in each Department) in this Program.
Prof. Shibli RubayatUlIslam of the Dept. of Banking & Insurance
performed the responsibility as elected Dean of the Faculty during
the session 2012-2013.

Department of Nuclear Engineering
The department of Nuclear Engineering was established at the
University of Dhaka in the year 2010 in accordance with the Dhaka
University Ordinance 1973. The idea of forming the department was
first deliberated in the Faculty meetings of the Faculty of
Engineering and Technology, University of Dhaka, on 25-7-2010
and 19-8-2010 where it was resolved in favour of setting up the
department. The positive recommendation of the Faculty of
390 University of Dhaka
Engineering was approved by the Deans committee of the
University on 24-8-2010 and by the Academic Council on 25-8-2010
and the final decision to set up the department was taken in a
meeting of the Syndicate of the University on 29/08/2010. The
approval of Bangladesh University Grants Commission was given in
a letter sent by them on 24-8-2011. Classes formally started with the
first batch of Masters students on 4th December 2012.
This department was established keeping in view the urgent need of
Bangladesh for trained engineers and technologists in the field of
Nuclear Engineering, especially now that the government is building
two nuclear power plants at Roopur, Pabna. The syllabus of the
department, both at the Bachelor and the Masters level puts heavy
emphasis on research and use of information technology. The
curriculum is designed to train our meritorious students so that they
can become highly knowledgeable and skilled engineers who are
able to apply their expertise for solving practical problems.
The government of Bangladesh has decided that nuclear energy will
be an important component in the energy mix of the country. The
first phase of work, i.e., planning and design, for two nuclear power
plants at Rooppur, Pabna, has already started. Actual construction
will start in about two years. As a result the need for nuclear
engineers will shoot up in the near future. Our graduates will be in
great demand at various stages, like construction operation and
safety monitoring of these power plants. The mission of the
department in to create appropriately trained manpower in the field
of nuclear engineering. They will are not only be experts in the field,
but will also have entrepreneurial skills and leadership qualities. The
department of Nuclear Engineering offers a four year (eight
semesters) BS degree and a one and a half year (3 semesters) MS
degree in Nuclear Engineering.
At present the department has twenty-five students. They entered at
the MS level.
At present, there is only one full-time faculty member of the
department. He is Prof. Dr. Khorshed Ahmad Kabir, who is also the
Chairman of the Department. So far the department has relied on
part-time teachers, who are experts in different branches of nuclear
engineering, for the academic activities of the department.

Bureau of Business Research (1974)
1. Established as a specialized business research organization, the
Bureau of Business Research (BBR) at the Dhaka University
Faculty of Business Studies has emerged as a pioneer institution
for research in the areas of industry, trade and commerce. The
establishment of such a research organization was greatly felt in
the late 1960s and the idea was finally accepted with the
elevation of Commerce Department into Faculty in 1970. After
the independence in 1971, the importance of business research
increased further. The Faculty members in a meeting on January
460 University of Dhaka
1, 1972 agreed to float a Bureau of Business Research in the
Faculty.
2. A committee of experts formed by the Vice Chancellor
recommended the formal establishment of the Bureau. The
Syndicate formally approved the recommendations, and BBR
came into existence officially in February, 1974. The BBR aims
at promoting research in business areas, undertaking research
projects sponsored by the Government and other private sector
agencies, encouraging cross-fertilization of ideas and knowledge
among the business community, business educators and
researchers of Bangladesh and abroad through seminars,
symposia and conferences, assisting organizations through
providing management consulting services, organizing training
courses on research methodology as well as business areas etc.
3. The Bureau after becoming a legal organ of the University in
1974, is regularly financed by the authority from its Annual
Development Plan and recurring grant.
4. The BBR has developed a library rich in useful reference books
on research techniques and related subjects. The materials are
available for the researchers on request.
5. Recently BBR has opened a Research Corner for assisting the
Ph.D and M.Phil students of the Faculty.
6. The teachers of the Faculty of Business Studies are the research
personnel of the Bureau. Over one hundred teachers, mostly
trained abroad, have specialization in management, marketing,
accounting, finance, banking, insurance, MIS, small enterprise
development, micro credit management and micro enterprise
promotion, etc. They accept the responsibility of conducting
research projects not only from the Bureau but also from the
Government and private agencies and international
organizations.
7. The affairs of BBR are run by an honorary Chairman and a
Director under the guidance of an Executive Committee
comprising of all Professors of the Faculty of Business Studies,
three external members nominated by the Vice- Chancellor and
one representative from each Department of the Faculty from
Associate Professor Category.

Controller of Examinations Office
(1921/1948)
The office of the Controller of Examinations is one of the largest and
most important offices of the university. During the establishment of
this university in 1921, there was no separate entity of this office. All
functions related to examinations were performed by the
Examination Section of Registrars office which is now discharged
by the office of the Controller of Examinations.
It was the only University in the Eastern zone of undivided Bengal
and at that time there was no affiliated or constituent college under
this University. With the independence of India and Pakistan, 55
colleges of East Bengal which were under the University of Calcutta
came under the University of Dhaka in 1948. As a result, activities of
the Examination Section of Registrars office increased and a
separate office named Office of the Controller of Examinations
was established the same year.
