History
[edit]It was established in 1911 as a peripatetic weaving school, as a result of the Swadeshi movement. It moved to its current location at the entry point of Mohuri Project Road in 1960.[1]
In 1980, the weaving school's courses were upgraded to two-year certificate courses in textile technology; the weaving school was named District Textile Institute. In 1994, a three-year textile engineering diploma course was introduced in the institution under the Bangladesh Technical Education Board. The duration of the course was extended to four years in 2001.[1]
The diploma program was superseded by a four-year Bachelor of Science program in textile engineering,[1] affiliated to the University of Chittagong,[citation needed] in the 2006–2007 session.[1] It was declared a college on 13 January 2006. Since the 2012–2013 session,[citation needed] the college has been affiliated with Bangladesh University of Textiles.[1]
