History

The college was established in 1911 and moved to its current location in 1960. A three-year textile engineering course was set up in 1994 which was superseded by a four-year Bachelor of Science course in textile engineering in the 2006–2007 session. It was declared as a college on 13 January 2006.

The college provides textile education. The Textile Engineering College operates under the administrative control of the Department of Textiles of the Ministry of Textiles and Jute.

It was established in 1911 as a weaving school, which was the result of "Shwodeshi Andolon" during the British regime. It was transferred to the entry point of Mohuri Project Road in 1960. 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 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.

The Government of Bangladesh introduced a four-year Bachelor of Science program in textile engineering, affiliated to the University of Chittagong, abolishing the Diploma in Textiles from the 2006–2007 study session. Since the 2012–2013 session, the college is affiliated with Bangladesh University of Textiles.[1]
