Ulkaa's ranking compares institutions inside Bangladesh. The 31-40 band means the institution sits in that group of ten, and no exact order within the band is published. Read it next to the QS band where one exists, because QS compares universities across Asia with a different method.

The university grew out of the Stamford College Group, which Wikipedia dates to 1994. It was set up as a private university under the Private University Act in 2002.

Wikipedia also says a permanent campus is under construction at Green Model Town near Motijheel. Until it is ready, teaching continues at the Siddeswari Road campus.

Stamford admits students for each semester through its own admission notice. Eligibility depends on the programme, and engineering and architecture usually ask for specific subjects at the previous level.

Ulkaa recorded 1,286 new admissions in 2023, down from 1,942 in 2022. For the current deadlines, forms and any admission test, follow the notice on the official website.

Total enrolment fell from 4,429 in 2021 to 4,235 in 2022 and 3,623 in 2023, so a prospective student should expect classes to be smaller than the university's size in earlier years suggests.

Ulkaa's data lists 17 programmes for 2027. They cover architecture, engineering, business, economics, English and law. Examples include Bachelor of Architecture, BBA, BSc in Civil Engineering, BSc in Computer Science and Engineering, BSc in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Bachelor of Social Science in Economics, Bachelor of Arts with Honours in English, and Bachelor of Laws with Honours. Master's degrees such as the Master of Arts in English are also offered.

Five accredited programmes were recorded for 2026: three under BAETE, one in architecture and one in pharmacy.

Wikipedia counts 14 departments and adds that the university teaches Japanese language courses. Ulkaa counts programmes, not departments, so the numbers differ.

Wikipedia lists a swimming pool, outdoor basketball courts, a cafe and a shop on the campus, as well as several centres for career counselling, research and professional development. It also reports credit-transfer arrangements with universities abroad, including Claflin University, State University of New York and Monash University.

In Ulkaa's data the university had 3,623 students in 2023, with 257 teachers, of whom 54 held a PhD. Having a city-centre campus means most students commute, so hostel life is not part of the picture.

Teaching staff numbered 300 in 2021, 213 in 2022 and 257 in 2023. Teachers with a PhD were 64 in 2021 and 54 in 2023. For 2023 that works out to about 14 students per teacher.
