Student-Centric Digital Experience
Students are among the biggest beneficiaries of NHTTI’s digital transformation. Activities that previously required physical visits—such as checking dues, paying fees, or collecting exam-related documents—can now be completed securely online through a dedicated Student Portal, saving time and eliminating unnecessary hassles.
Online Student Portal Features

Students can register for their assigned courses directly from their syllabus with a single click through the portal, ensuring accuracy and compliance with institutional rules.
Dues & Payment Information
Students can view detailed semester-wise dues, payment history, paid amounts, payment dates, and transaction slip IDs from a single dashboard.
Online Fee Payment
The system supports secure online payments through integrated Mobile Financial Services (MFS) and payment gateways such as bKash and SSLCommerz, ensuring fast and reliable transactions.
