History

In 1874, "Mohasania Madrasah" was established by a grant from the Mohsin Fund. It was built in the model of Calcutta Alia Madrasah (now Aliah University). The institute was later known as "Dhaka Madrasah". In 1915, it became "Dhaka High Madrasah". In 1916, the Anglo-Persian department became a separate school named "Dhaka Government Muslim High School".^[4]

After the establishment of University of Dhaka in 1921, the school was upgraded into a college and renamed to "Islamic Intermediate College". In 1968, the college section was named "Government Islamia College Dhaka". In 1972, the college was renamed to its current name.^[4]
