Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET) has announced the appointment of Professor Mohammad Al Amin Siddik from the civil engineering department as the new Director of Students' Welfare (DSW).

The appointment was confirmed through an office order notice signed by BUET Registrar, Professor MD Forkan Uddin.

The decision comes amidst recent protests by BUET students advocating against student politics on campus. During these demonstrations, there were calls for the resignation of the former DSW, Professor Mizanur Rahman from the EEE department, who had been serving in the position since July 2019.
