Founding background

In the 1939, the British troops took Feni College when it was started during World War II. Then for some years Feni College was temporarily transferred from Feni to Brahmanbaria.[1] At the end of the war, the college again went back to Feni. Brahmanbaria Government College was founded in 1948[2] on the infrastructure that Feni College left behind.

Brahmanbaria College was privately run in the initiative of the people of the area and in 1979 the college was nationalized. In the initial stage, the Higher Secondary and Bachelor Pass courses were introduced in the college. Honours courses of Mathematics and Political Science started from the 1993–94 academic year. Gradually, 12 honours and master's subjects were introduced in the college.[3]
