Second and third buildings of Rangpur Government College
In 1963, when it was turned into a government institution, the number of student seats in Carmichael College became limited. In this situation, the absence of a college providing education to the extended number of students was intensely felt. In this circumstance, some philanthropists, including Fulle Hossain, the then District Commissioner O.M. Carnie, Assistant District Commissioner Abdus Sattar, District Education Officer Tahemidur Rahman, advocate Abul Khan, Amin Hossain, Abul Salek, Moin Uddin Sarker, et. al. come forward to set up a college. Some rich people also gave necessary land to establish the college immediately. Finally, on July 25, 1963, it was established. The college was launched as a night college at Koilash Ranjan High School and as a day college at the Zamindarbari (Kalidham) of Ram Babu.[3] From its establishment till 1992, it was under the supervision of Rajshahi University. It became a government college on November 1, 1984. It came under Bangladesh National University in 1993.
