The government is set to form a committee within seven working days to assess the feasibility of converting Government Titumir College into a university.

The committee will evaluate the viability of the transformation, focusing on infrastructure, resources, and academic potential.

Special Assistant to the Education Adviser, Professor M Aminul Islam, shared this development following a meeting with students of Titumir College at the Ministry of Education on Tuesday (November 19).

Professor Aminul Islam acknowledged the challenges of such a conversion, saying, “Transforming a college into a university is not an easy task. However, Dhaka North currently lacks a university, and Titumir College’s 10-acre campus offers a foundation for consideration.”

The committee’s findings will guide the government’s decision-making on whether Titumir College can fulfill the requirements to operate as a university.
