Academic programme of IUT is very compact. Students do not get enough free time during the session. But within this busy schedule, they create an environment for participating in different socio-cultural and religious activities. The academic session starts with orientation of the students where Vice-Chancellor and other senior officials of IUT address and extend welcome to the students.

The two annual occasions of Eid-ul-Fitr and Eid-ul-Azha are celebrated with due solemnity and fervor with a morning congregational prayer in the IUT mosque followed by a special Eid breakfast and later by an Eid dinner attended by the Director General, faculty, staff and students.

The Religious Affairs Committee arranges an annual competition on recitation from the Holy Quran. Students show keen interest for the competition and attend the training programme which is arranged to facilitate the students in correct pronunciation of the verses from the Holy Quran. A large number of students from various OIC member countries participate in the recitation competition. The Committee also arranges special lectures on Islam by learned scholars during the month of Ramadan.

Each year various cultural programmes are organized by the students in which students present glimpses of the culture of their respective country/region in the form of Bangladeshi Night, African Night, Arabian Night and Pakistani Night. These cultural programmes provide an opportunity to the students of various countries to come more closer and understand each other’s culture. These programmes are attended by distinguished guests from different Embassies.
