History

Islamic University of Technology was first known as Islamic Center for Technical and Vocational Training (ICTVTR). It was the time of it's birth in the year 1978.
The 9th Islamic Conference of Foreign Ministers (ICFM) held in Dakar,Republic of Senegal on 24-28 April 1978. The esteblishment of IUT in Dhaka, Bangladesh was then approved by the then foreign ministers. All the members of the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) agreed to cooperate for the implementation of the project.

• The 22nd ICFM held in Casablanca, Morocco on 10-11 December 1994 renamed the ICTVTR as Islamic Institute of Technology (IIT).

IIT was formally innaugurated by Begum Khaleda Zia the then Prime Minister of Bangladesh on 21 September 1995.

• The 28th ICFM held in Bamako, Republic of Mali on 25-29 June 2001 commended the efforts of IIT and decided to reneme the IIT as Islamic University of Technology (IUT).

IUT was formally innaugurated by Begum Khaleda Zia Prime Minister of the People's Republic of Bangladesh on 29 November 2001.

Advancedment

The University has advanced much in a short time and still infrastructure is going on by availing the financing under loan from Islamic Development Bank (IDB) with guarantee provided by the Government of Bangladesh.

Her Excellency Begum Khaleda Zia, Prime Minister of the People's Republic of Bangladesh was the Chief Guest on the occasion.
