Rangamati Science and Technology University

Rangamati Science and Technology University is a public university located in Rangamati, Bangladesh.[1] It has faced vocal opposition from local groups such as Parbatya Chattagram Jana Samhati Samiti (PCJSS) because they believe that students, staff, and faculty would come predominantly from outside the Chittagong Hill Tracts, and their settlement in Rangamati would change the character of the region.[2][3][4] The first batch of 75 students began classes in November 2015, at a temporary campus set up at Tabalchharhi Shah High School.[5]
