Abdur Rab Serniabat Textile Engineering College, Barisal (ARSTEC)

Abdur Rab Serniabat Textile Engineering College, Barisal is a government Textile Engineering College. It’s nick name ARSTEC. ARSTEC has started its educational propggram at 2011.  It plays important role in Textile Education in Bangladesh.

Barisal Textile Institute was established in 1980 as a “District Textile Institute” offering 2 year Certificate in Textile Technology course. In 1993-94 The District Textile Institute was again upgraded to Barisal Textile Institute offering 3 year Diploma course in Textile Technology.

In order to meet the challenge of increasing demand of new sophisticated & latest technology the Government of Bangladesh decided to upgrade this institute to B.Sc. Textile Engineering College and offer 4 years Bachelor degree in textile engineering and renamed it to Abdur Rab Serniabat Textile Engineering College. Latest machineries of different laboratories and Textile related books in our library help the students to acquire knowledge of modern technology worthy.

ARSTEC is offering 4-years B.Sc. in Textile Engineering under the University of Dhaka with specialization in

- Yarn Manufacturing Technology
- Fabric Manufacturing Technology
- Wet Processing Technology
- Garments Manufacturing Technology
- Fashion & Design Technology (Proposed)

02. Passed SSC (Science) with GPA 3.50 (without 4th subject) from any discipline.
03. Passed HSC (Science) or equivalent exam of the current academic year obtaining at least GPA 3.5 and on an average at least GP 4.00 but individually not below grade point 3.0 in physics, chemistry and mathematics.

Following rules applicable for the students of O level and A level

01. Must pass in B grade on a average in five subjects.
02. In the A level examination the students must have B grade in mathematics, physics and chemistry.
03. No D Grade will be allowed in any subject. 

Career prospects

The technological knowledge and skills of Textile engineers are highly valued by textile manufacturing companies. The industry realizes that its future depend upon the quality of its technology and managers, because the quality of product and productivity play the vital role for exporting garments. Our graduates play a great role in quality production & management. As a result export in garments sector nowadays reached about 76% of the total export of the country. The majority of textile graduates take up posts in the Textile Manufacturing Industry as Process or Plant Managers, Development Engineers or Technologists. Recent graduates have found employment in the areas of Production Management, Design, Textile Testing & Quality Assurance, New Product Development, Buying House, Commercial Banks, Customs etc. At present there is a huge demand of textile engineers in Bangladesh.
