Upgrading Titumir college into varsity: Ministry to form committee

The Ministry of Education will form a committee to conduct a feasibility study on upgrading the Titumir College to a university.

The committee will submit its report within seven working days. 

Professor Dr. M Aminul Islam, special assistant to the education adviser, informed this at 4 pm on Tuesday (November 19). 

Earlier, a two-and-a-half-hour meeting was held with a delegation of 14 members from the Government Titumir College.

Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting Adviser Md. Nahid Islam was also present.
