History

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The diploma program was superseded by a four-year Bachelor of Science program in textile engineering,^[1] affiliated to the University of Chittagong,^{[citation needed]} in the 2006–2007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]
