Port City International University (PCIU) was established with the ambition of building a modern, high-quality institution of higher learning in Bangladesh. This initiative was driven by the vision and determination of its founding president, former MP AKM Enamul Haque Shamim, who is dedicated to education and national development. Guided by his leadership, the university began its journey with a commitment to academic excellence, innovation, and student success. From the earliest planning stages, the former chairperson of the Board of Trustees, Thamina Khatun, played a decisive role in shaping the institution's strategic direction, ensuring that its academic programs and facilities met both national and international standards. The founding vice-president and vice-chairman, Zahir Ahammed, worked tirelessly to oversee infrastructure development, administrative systems, and student-oriented initiatives that would form the backbone of PCIU's growth. Through years of hard work, focused leadership, and a dedication to quality education, PCIU has grown from its modest beginnings into a reputable private university.
