History


In August 1947, just after the end of British rule, the Ministry of Industry approved the formation of the institute. Officially, it was founded in June 1949 and academic activities started from 1952. Later, the institute was renamed East Pakistan Institute of Leather Technology.
To provide better academic and educational facilities, the institute was transferred to the Ministry of Education and placed under the administrative control of the technical education in 1967.
After liberation, the institute was recognized as the Bangladesh College of Leather Technology and was involved with diploma, certificate and artisan level education until 1979. The government introduced a graduate course in B.Sc. Engineering in Leather under the University of Dhaka with the 1979–1980 academic session.
The college was then named as Bangladesh College of Leather Engineering and Technology.
On 18 August 2011, the college was handed over to University of Dhaka with its resource and manpower.
