The modulational instability of dust-ion acoustic wave (DIAW) and dust-ion cyclotron wave (DICW) is investigated in a magnetized plasma containing static dust particles. The static dust particles can be positively or negatively charged, while ions are taken to be dynamic and inertialess electrons follow the kappa distribution in a magnetized dusty plasma. The nonlinear Schrodinger equation is derived to study the amplitude modulation of obliquely propagating electrostatic waves in a magnetized dusty plasma using the Krylov-Bogoliubov-Mitropolsky method. The dispersive and nonlinear coefficients, i.e., P and Q of nonlinear Schrodinger equation, are obtained which depend on the dust charge concentration, the magnetic field intensity, dust charge polarity, angle of wave propagation, and spectral index kappa for the nonthermal electrons. The modulationally stable and unstable regions of DIAW and DICW are investigated numerically, and the illustration of contour plots of product PQ with wave propagation angle ...
