National Institute of Textile Engineering and Research (Bengali: জাতীয় বস্ত্র প্রকৌশল ও গবেষণা ইনস্টিটিউট) is also known as NITER. Located in Savar, Dhaka District, it is the largest undergraduate textile campus in Bangladesh. It offers the Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering, Industrial and Production Engineering and Fashion & Apparel Design in co-ordination with the University of Dhaka. The institute has a partnership between the Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA) and the Ministry of Textiles and Jute. It is a public-private partnership constituent educational institution under University of Dhaka.

History

NITER was originally a training center, Textile Industry Development Center (TIDC), a public institution which was established in January 1979 by the government of Bangladesh to impart training for professionals engaged in the textile manufacturing industry. In 1994, its name changed to National Institute of Textile Training Research and Design (NITTRAD). Later, the Ministry of Textiles and Jute decided to run NITTRAD under public–private partnership (PPP) program and handed over its operational management to Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA) under the Ministry of Textiles and Jute. From 1 January 2013, the Ministry of Textiles and Jute, according to a suggestion from the University of Dhaka, changed the name of the Institute to National Institute of Textile Engineering and Research. From 2010 to 2011 session NITER started Bachelor of Science in Textile engineering course under the University of Dhaka.

It also provides practical and training classes of textile engineering to students of private universities in Bangladesh.
