Bangladesh’s University Grants Commission, or UGC, has included a proposal to make internships mandatory for students at all public and private universities in a draft strategic plan for higher education transformation. UGC Chairman Professor Dr Mamun Ahmed announced the information at a reception organised by the University of Dhaka’s Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. The report was published on July 27, 2026.
Under the proposal, structured internship opportunities would be created for students in government offices, autonomous institutions, industrial establishments and private organisations. Ahmed said many graduates fall behind in the job market because they lack real workplace experience and necessary skills. The UGC aims to reduce that gap and make higher education more employment-oriented and industry-friendly.
The commission is preparing a five-year strategic action plan and will conduct a national survey to identify students’ skill levels and gaps. Its findings would guide changes to curricula, teaching methods and assessment systems. The government and commercial institutions would jointly provide financial support for internships, while the UGC would handle policy coordination, monitoring and implementation support.
