History
On 26 July 2016,[4] the government of Bangladesh enacted a regulation in the National Assembly to set up the university on a 50-acre site adjoining to Kaliakoir Hi–Tech Park in Kaliakair, Gazipur District.[5]
Instruction began with the 2018–2019 academic year, for which 100 students were offered admission.[6]
After the fall of the Sheikh Hasina-led Awami League government, on February 13, 2025, the interim government of Bangladesh issued an ordinance[7][8] naming the university from Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Digital University to Gazipur Digital University,[9] although the students of this university have protested to name it as Bangladesh Digital University.[3][10][11] On 24 February 2025, students of the university blocked the Dhaka-Gazipur rail track, demanding the institution be renamed Bangladesh Digital University.[12][13] On 1 September 2025, it was again renamed to University of Frontier Technology, Bangladesh.[1][14]
