Govt issues Dhaka Central Univ Ordinance

The government has issued an ordinance forming Dhaka Central University (DCU) to manage seven public colleges in the capital, reports bdnews24.com.

However, the ordinance does not divide the seven colleges into four schools as proposed in the initial draft. Instead, the colleges will remain academically affiliated with DCU while maintaining their individuality.

The Ministry of Law published the "Dhaka Central University Ordinance 2026" in the form of a gazette.

DCU will oversee Dhaka College, Eden Mohila College, Govt Shaheed Suhrawardy College, Kabi Nazrul Govt College, Begum Badrunnesa Govt Girls' College, Mirpur Govt Bangla College, and Govt Titumir College.
