History
British weaving school
During British colonial rule from 1911 to 1929, 33 peripatetic weaving schools were established in East Bengal to meet the requirements for a textile technician by offering an artisan-level six-month course. Begumgonj Textile Engineering College, Noakhali, established in 1918, was one of these schools. In 1968 it was upgraded to a District Weaving School which offered a one-year course, and in 1981, to a District Textile Institute which offered a two-year certificate course in textile technology.
Further historical milestones
In 1993, a milestone three-year diploma course was introduced under the Bangladesh Technical Education Board (BTEB). The duration of this course was extended to four years in 2001. The college was upgraded in 2007 to offer a BSc in textile engineering, affiliated with the Bangladesh University of Textiles.

Perspective
Selection of students for admission is determined via an admission test, which takes SSC and HSC examination results into consideration. Only science students can apply. The admission test is conducted on the basis of multiple choice questions (MCQ). Students have to answer physics, chemistry, higher math and English questions. The admission circular is published in national dailies, as well as on the college website and the website of the Department of Textiles (DOT). Students gain admission to specific colleges based on a merit list and their college preference list.
A single examination for this purpose was organized by Department of Textiles (DOT) for 8 textile engineering colleges under the affiliation of Bangladesh University of Textiles (BUTEX). Colleges which conduct exams together are: Textile Engineering College, Chittagong (2006), Pabna Textile Engineering College (2006), Textile Engineering College Noakhali (2007), Shahid Abdur Rab Serniabat Textile Engineering College (2010), Jhenaidah Textile Engineering College, Jhenaidah (2016), Dr. M A Wazed Miah Textile Engineering College (2018), Sheikh Rehana Textile Engineering College (2021) and Sheikh Hasina Textile Engineering College (2022).
