Controversies

The University Grants Commission investigated NSU in 2012, 2016, and 2019. Each probe found rampant corruption and administrative irregularities. Because the UGC found that some members of the board of trustees were "involved in anti-state activities, sponsorship of militancy, corruption and arbitrariness", President Abdul Hamid reconstituted the board in August 2022, dismissing seven members and adding three new ones.
Former students involved in militancy: In 2016, some former students of NSU and faculty members were found to have links with militant activities. Some of them were involved in violent armed assaults. Later, investigators found printed materials published by militant groups in a library. UGC suggested measures to curb the involvement by student attendance tracking, online monitoring by guardians and student participation in social activities.
In 2021 some of the trustees allegedly used the university and misused power, they allegedly raised their sitting allowance to up to 10 times the approved rate and got themselves luxury cars at the expense of the students.

In 20 August 2024, The Supreme Court of Bangladesh ruled that its trustee board was illegal and formed a new board of trustees.
