Bankura Unnayani Institute of Engineering (BUIE)—yeah, that’s a mouthful—kicked off back in 1998 and can actually brag about being the first-ever engineering college in Bankura district, West Bengal.

The campus sprawls over 11 acres for classes and another 31 acres for hostels and living spaces. Not just some random setup—this place is TEQIP‑II funded, sports an ISO‑9001 certification, and actually tries to churn out both smart engineers and well-rounded humans.

BUIE is affiliated with MAKAUT (formerly WBUT) and carries all the official stamps—AICTE, West Bengal Government, and more.
