History:
Bangladesh Textile University is the only university in Bangladesh that specializes in textiles. It meets the need for textile engineering and technology education in Bangladesh and around the world.

During the British colonial rule in 1921 a weaving school was established in Narinda, Dhaka to provide textile technician education by offering artisan-level courses. It was named East Bengal Textile Institute, which was upgraded to offer diploma courses in textile technology and renamed East Pakistan Textile Institute in 1950. In 1960, the institute was transferred to its present campus at Tejgaon Industrial Area. In 1978 the institute launched a four-year bachelor degree in Textile Technology by affiliation with the University of Dhaka and was renamed College of Textile Technology. It was declared as a university in 2010 by passing an act called Bangladesh University of Textiles Act and inaugurated on March 15, 2011.
