According to the Private University Act (2010), an amount should be allocated for the research sector to spend in the annual budget of all the Private Universities. But all the universities aren't doing this.

Many of the universities show their costs in research projects, but the research project is not being conducted in every year. Emeritus Professor of Dhaka University (DU), Sirajul Islam Chowdhury said there are two major work of a university. Firstly teaching and secondly innovating new knowledge to teach. One can’t run without another. Teachers should research for this reason. Constantly they will reveal those, write articles, do seminars.
