The university is financed by the Government through the University Grants Commission. The university is an autonomous statutory organization of the Government of Bangladesh functioning within the “Khulna University of Engineering and Technology Act, 2003”. There are various statutory bodies like Syndicate, Academic Council, Finance Committee, Planning and Development Committee, Committee for Advance studies and Research, different Academic Committees etc. for policy and decision making on different aspects of the university under the frame work of the Act.
