RUET Alumni Association (RUETAA) was conceptually established during early 80’s to assemble all graduate engineers coming out from Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET), the second oldest engineering institution of the country. This institution started its function in 1964 as Engineering College, Rajshahi, and then it was upgraded to Bangladesh Institute of Technology, Rajshahi in 1986, and finally as RUET in 2003. To an estimate, around 15,000 Engineers have done graduation from this pride institute in 47 Series. They all are potential members of RUETAA.

Most of the Engineers of first few Series have already retired from services. Many RUETAA members have climbed up very successfully in business as well as in services.
