As a government supported pubic university, Jagannath University is introduced in 2005 which is situated in Sadarghat, the southern part of Dhaka city near the river Buriganga. The university has its own history that started in 1858 when Dhaka Brahma School was established.
In 1884, it was raised to a 2nd grade college. Law was one of the main courses presented. A typical administration advisory group controlled the college and the college until 1887, when the school area was separated to frame the free Kishore Jubilee School. It is presently known as K L Jubilee School. The organization of the school was exchanged to a leading body of trustees in 1907. In the next year, it turned into a first grade college.
The college began with 48 understudies. In five years, the move raised to 396. In 1910, Raja Manmath Roy Chowdhury, the zamindar of Santosh, Tangail, collaborated the Pramath-Manmath College of Tangail with Jagannath College. With the foundation of University of Dhaka in 1921, it halted admission to degree courses and was renamed Jagannath Intermediate College. This status was changed following 28 years in 1949, when it revived degree classes. The college was assumed control by the government in 1968.
Jagannath College started honours and masters programmes in 1975. That year the government took over the control and redesigned it into a postgraduate college. In 1982, the college locked its programs at the intermediate level. It presented evening shifts in 1992.
After that it was changed into Jagannath University in 2005 by passing a bill named Jagannath University Act-2005 in the national parliament. For details Information Check Here.
