Introduction

Mohammadpur Kendriya College began its journey on May 31, 1969, during a period when Mohammadpur was predominantly inhabited by non-Bengali communities, especially Urdu speakers. As a result, several Urdu-medium institutions flourished in the area. In 1975, three institutions—Mohammadpur College, Mohammadpur Girls College, and Dhanmondi Central College—were merged, creating what was originally called Mohammadpur Central College. Soon after, its name was changed to “Mohammadpur Kendriya College” to embrace the Bengali language and culture post-independence. Initially offering HSC-level education, the college gradually expanded into higher studies. Its early years were driven by community demand and social transformation, and the institution quickly became a hub of academic growth, cultural development, and educational opportunity for a changing demographic.

Early Beginnings

Today, Mohammadpur Kendriya College stands as a beacon of accessible, inclusive education in Dhaka. It offers Honours and Master’s degrees in subjects including Bangla, English, Sociology, Political Science, Philosophy, History, Islamic Studies, Physics, Chemistry, Math, Botany, Zoology, Accounting, Finance, Marketing, and more. Professional programs like BBA and CSE also enhance career readiness. With smart classrooms, a temperature-controlled digital library, strong internet access, and a peaceful, green campus, the college blends tradition with innovation. It organizes cultural, social, and academic events that foster leadership and creativity. Since becoming a government-affiliated institution, its infrastructure and academic standards have steadily grown. Mohammadpur Kendriya College continues shaping future leaders committed to societal progress and the pursuit of knowledge.
