History
During the British colonial rule in 1915, a weaving school was established at Pabna to meet textile technician education by offering an artisan-level course. It was named Pabna Government Weaving School. The governor of Bengal visited the institution on 25 January 1926.
It was upgraded to Pabna District Textile Institute in 1980 to offer a two-year certificate course in Textile Technology. In 1994 the institute was promoted to conduct a three-year diploma course in Textile Engineering under the Bangladesh Technical Education Board.
The Prime Minister of Bangladesh upgraded the institution to BSc in Textile Engineering College in 2006 to offer a four-year bachelor's degree in Textile Engineering by affiliation with the University of Rajshahi and renamed it as Pabna Textile Engineering College. Pabna Textile Engineering College is under the "Jute and Textile Ministry" affiliation with the Bangladesh University of Textiles.
