I think every conscious person who has studied at DU during the Bangladesh era knows that the university is not what it is used to be in the past. The completion of an undergraduate programme can take upto twice as much as scheduled time. This has happended to me and to most of my contemporary batches. It is universally accepted that timely completion of any academic programme is the fundamental requirement for any academic institution. So, in my view DU nor any general public university in Bangladesh can be considered to be ranked at the international level. This is regardless ofvarious other serious limitations of the university such as poor academic and research facilities, acute dearth of world class research not to mention about total lack of research funding. So, the article is nothing but what DU used to be (like a history chapter of a book) in the past and does not reflect the present situation of the institution. The writer of the article has only attempted to promote the history of the university.User: conscious citizen 11 July 2009—Precedingunsigned comment added by122.108.15.221 (talk)02:42, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have done some shortening (mainly the history area) and modifications (mainly in the dormitories).Murad67 (talk)12:19, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dear editors, check out the DU Prospectus on Dhaka University website. It has lots of reliable and authentic information about DU.—Precedingunsigned comment added by96.232.110.87 (talk)03:51, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Dear editors there is a club named "Dhaka University Management Club (DUMC)" which is authorised by Dept. of Managemnent Studies & web address is www.dumc.biz....

I came upon this article while addressing copyright problems in a related article. Poor sourcing and promotional language undermine the apparent neutrality of this article. As a few examples, "the oldest, largest and the best university in Bangladesh", "worked hard to build up an outstanding record of academic achievement, earning for itself the reputation for being the 'Oxford of the East'. The university contributed to the emergence of a generation of leaders" and "the University of Dhaka has been a place for many great scholars and scientists." It also has unsourced negative text: "Although the university has a proud history today it has lost most of its glory." It could really use a thorough scouring if anybody has time. --Moonriddengirl(talk)15:33, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
"Criticism and controversy" section was like this:
Criticism and controversy
Dhaka University has gained negative attention of the media and public due to incidents of dirty politics inside the campus.Yet, DU student politics remains diametrically opposite of what is practiced at Cambridge. Since independence, only DU has seen an average of two students murdered every year, prompting suggestions to de-link "student politics" from national politics. However, "banning" or "de-linking" student politics may not solve this problem and instead, may create confusion and chaos, frustrating all good intentions. Instead, the student community's power and potential should be unleashed through "real" student politics. When students are engaged and given space, party-politics among them will eventually weaken and disperse.[1]
This section was removed by IP user sayingremoved section without reference while it had one ref. I reverted andEsha795 undid my revert back claiming"... no references made here. This section was put in here without any reference to source article. Moreover, it is in between the not". So I demand that, discussion is needed on the matter. --নাফী ম. সাধ nafSadhtalk |contribs04:51, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think the section is poorly written and uses POV language. While a referenced section is definitely useful, the references need to be objective facts. The Daily Star article cited here is actually an op-ed piece, which hardly counts as a reference to support these claims. Individual events shouldn't be generalized to a criticism of the university unless it is an institutional norm. But once again, everything needs to be sourced to reliable references, which the DStar Op-ed piece is NOT. --Ragib (talk)04:57, 13 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The article has a very few information with the names of some other sub-articles. A viewer will never be pleased about the article. It should contain the obvious brief. --Rossi101 (talk)20:43, 5 October 2011 (UTC)Rossi101[reply]

There used to be a good history section in this article. Why can't it be more like other university articles like theUniversity of Delhi orUniversity of Punjab?--ArmanJ (talk)03:00, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I propose thatFaculty of Business Studies, University of Dhaka be merged intoUniversity of Dhaka. As noted inWP:SCHOOLOUTCOMES, subdivisions (such as faculties) of universities are generally not independentlynotable. Merge was the outcome of the earlierdeletion discussion on the topic. The details of the text and references may be have changed since 2010, but the fundamentals have not.
The content in the faculty article that is suitable for an encyclopedia (dates, name changes, size) can easily be explained in the context of the university, and the university article is small enough that the merging of faculty material will not cause any problems with article size. Merging might temporarily lend undue weight to this faculty, but that could be rectified by expanding each faculty in the list into a few sentences to clarify their relative significance within the university. --Worldbruce (talk)22:55, 22 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In first paragraph,Satyendra Nath Bose is listed as notable alumni. He was a faculty member of DU. He was an alumni of Kolkata University. Also, Dr.Mohammad Ataul Karim's article is of poor quality. I think a criteria for notable alumni needs to be added in the article.Smcbuet (talk)16:53, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
