Dhaka City College, one of the oldest colleges in Bangladesh located at Dhanmondi, kudrat-e-khuda road in Dhaka city.
Dhaka City College is a private college in the Dhanmondi neighborhood of Dhaka, Bangladesh, offering programs in science, commerce, and arts. It has nine departments affiliated with the National University of Bangladesh and provides both higher secondary and undergraduate courses.
The college was founded in 1957 as Dhaka Night College to serve working professionals at a time when Bangladesh was part of Pakistan. It moved to its current Dhanmondi location in 1970 and grew from there into a larger institution.
The college was originally founded as Dhaka Night College, reflecting its roots as an evening school for working students. Today, visitors can see students gathering in groups on campus to discuss lessons and share ideas.
The college sits in central Dhanmondi and is easy to reach from different parts of Dhaka. Visitors should check ahead, as the campus is mainly active during teaching hours and access may be limited outside of those times.
Among the graduates of this college are musicians, politicians, and mountaineers who later became known across Bangladesh. This wide range of paths taken by former students makes the place stand out in the country's educational history.
