This famous old college is one of the largest in the country in terms of both area and student enrolment. Situated on the outskirts of town, the college dates from 1916. Similar in inspiration to Curzon Hall in Dhaka and with a grand frontage of over 100m, it is a splendid fusion of classical British and Mughal architecture. Its domes rest on slender columns and a series of arched openings all add to its mosque-like appearance. It is spacious and rural, with cows grazing on the main lawn and students keen to talk of the wider world while resting in the shade.
A rickshaw from the centre is around Tk 20. From Tajhat Palace it’s Tk 10.
