Abstract
The universities of this subcontinent were first established in the latter part of the 19th century in the pattern of the University of London. Universities set up in the 1920’s were residential institutions and modelled after Oxford University. It was only after India and Pakistan became independent that the growth of universities received a considerable fillip. These new universities have their roots in the desires and needs of society, and it was because of such needs that the East Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology came into existence.
