Sylhet Government Polytechnic Institute

At the beginning, SPI offered 3 years long courses, based on the syllabus of Oklahoma State University.

The certificate issued by the then Technical Education Board was Associated in Engineering having provision to undergo Bachelor of Science courses in United States.

Its formation and academic course history goes back to the birth of Ahsanullah Engineering College, which is now known as BUET.
