Dinajpur Zilla School is a public high school in Dinajpur District, Bangladesh. About 2000 students attend here. The school's headmistress is Mrs. Akthara Parvin.

History

Dinajpur Zilla School was established in 1854 in the Pratap House by the Raja Tarakanath. In 1856 the government nationalised the school and converted it into the Zilla (district) school. Despite the nationalisation, the school was still financially supported by the king and other local influentials in the 19th century. It has one of best graduation rates in Bangladesh. The current school building was built in the 20th century and upgraded in the 21st century. The main office and library is in a building that was a revenue office built in the 18th century by king Baiyanath. The student hostel was built in 1910 and is still there.[1]

Admission

The admission for the school mainly starts from class 3. The school gives one year for preparation of the examination. As example, in those students who read in class 2, take preparation for the admission exam which is held usually in the last week of December. After the exam 240 students are chosen from thousands of examinees. They study in class 3 in the next year.[1]
