In the turbulent days of Non Co-operation Movement on 3 March 1971, this college was named after the name of Shahid Titumir, erasing the name of Jinnah.[1] This was done on the eve of the meeting of Maolana Abdul Hamid Khan Bhashani and Sheikh Mujibur Rahman at Paltan Maidan. It was led by the important central member of Sarbadaliya Chhatra Sangram Parishad and student of this College Colonel Md. Abdus Salam (Rtd), Bir Pratik.
