History
Tejgaon College was founded in 1996 on the campus of Islamia High School with the name Dhaka Night College. The founding president of the college was Shafiqul Islam, then Minister of Education. The school was shifted to the campus of Madrassah-e-Alia by then education minister Mafizuddin Ahmad. After a while the campus was shifted to Tejgaon Polytechnic High School. It relocated to Crown Laundry in Tejgaon and then moved again across the street to Al-Razi Hospital, where Dhaka Night College was renamed Tajgaon College.[3] Tofail Ahmed Chowdhury was the founding principal of the college.[4]
On 13 April 2009, the principal of Tejgaon College, Abdur Rashid, was arrested for misappropriating 30 million taka and selling fake certificates from 2003 to 2008.[5] On 8 July 2013, four students of the college were injured in clashes with students of the University of Dhaka.[6]
