The University of Dhaka was established in 1921 and held its first convocation in 1923. It has since grown from 3 faculties and 12 departments to 13 faculties and 71 departments. Originally focused on residential teaching, it became more affiliating in 1947 and was granted autonomy in 1973 after Bangladesh's liberation war. Today it enrolls over 33,000 students through a competitive admission process and confers degrees on more than 1.6 million graduates, making it the oldest and largest public university in Bangladesh.
