All universities managed and funded by the government are called public or public universities. All these universities are managed by the government and get money from the government to operate. They are known as government universities or public universities. In Bangladesh, there are many students who can't pay for higher education. To help these students and their parents, the government has been working hard to improve the situation.

The government set up these universities using government money to offer higher education. So, every student's goal is to study at a government university because private universities can be too expensive for many students. Right now, there are 48 government universities in Bangladesh.
