Begumgonj Textile Engineering College, Noakhali (Bengali: বেগমগন্জ টেক্সটাইল ইন্জিনিয়ারিং কলেজ, নোয়াখালী ) is one of the famous textile engineering college in Bangladesh and operates under the University of Chittagong. It plays important role in Textile Education in Bangladesh. Its Educational Constitution is under the University of Chittagong, Science Faculty.
Historical Background
During the British colonial rule from 1911 to 1929, 33 peripatetic weaving schools were established in East Bengal to meet the requirements for a textile technician by offering an artisan-level six-month course. Begumgonj Textile Engineering College, Noakhali is one of them; it was established in 1918. In 1968 it was upgraded to District Weaving School offering a one-year course and in 1981 District Textile Institute offering a two-year certificate course in textile technology. But the certificate course was not acceptable to the industry.
In 1993 a three-year Diploma course was introduced under Bangladesh Technical Education Board (BTEB) which was treated as a milestone for the textile education. The duration of this course was extended to four years in 2001.
To meet the challenge of increasing demand of new sophisticated and latest technology, the government decided to upgrade the institute to B.Sc. In textile engineering, the college was upgraded in 2007 to offer B.Sc. in textile engineering course affiliated by the University of Chittagong.
General admission procedure and entry requirements:
Admission to the Begumgonj Textile Engineering College is competitive and needs a high academic attainment in S.S.C and H.S.C level. Selection of the student for admission is made through admission test of 200 marks. Students get a chance to take admission according to merit.
The entry requirements for admission test are:
The college offers four-year B.Sc. in Textile Engineering program with specialization in
