The interim government of Bangladesh has categorized all public colleges into four groups—A, B, C, and D—for administrative purposes, according to a Ministry of Education circular issued on Monday, November 24. Colleges with more than 8,000 students and over 10 honors-level subjects have been placed in Category A. A total of 81 institutions across the country, including Dhaka College, Chittagong College, Eden Mohila College, Rajshahi College, and Government Brojomohun College, have received this top classification. The ministry stated that the new categorization aims to streamline administrative management and ensure better allocation of resources across higher education institutions. The classification covers colleges offering higher secondary, undergraduate (pass and subsidiary), honors, and postgraduate programs. This move is expected to help the government monitor academic performance and institutional capacity more effectively while promoting balanced development among public colleges nationwide.
