History

Pabna Government Weaving School was established in 1915.^[1] It was one of five such outlying schools affiliated to the Serampore Weaving Institute. The school offered a course three to six months in duration, given in Bengali,^[2] that taught "practical weaving, design and analysis of cloth, yarn calculation and drawing". By 1921, it was instructing 22 students, the sons of weavers, on 14 fly-shuttle looms.^[1]

When the Department of Textiles (DoT) was established in 1978, it took over operation of the school. The DoT also oversaw the public sector textile mills, and expected demand for more mid-level supervisors and skilled technicians in the industry.^[3] In 1980, a two years certificate course was introduced. In 1995,^[4] that was replaced by a three-year diploma in textile engineering,^[3] at which point the school was renamed Pabna Textile Institute.^[4]

In March 2010, the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council approved a 450 million Bangladeshi taka ($6.4M as of 2010) project to upgrade Pabna Textile Institute to Pabna Textile Engineering College.^[5] It then offered a four years B.Sc. in textile engineering in affiliation with the University of Rajshahi, and had 80 students.^[6] By 2019, it was an affiliated college of Bangladesh University of Textiles.^[7]
