History

In January, 2004, the then Finance Minister M. Saifur Rahman approved the Mymensingh Engineering College and Sylhet Engineering College project and on 9 May 2006 a budget of 56 crore was proposed for Mymensingh Engineering College project in the meeting of Executive Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC).[1] The two Engineering College project works continued from July, 2004 till June, 2007, which was handed over to the Educational Ministry right after. Also, within this process in 2005 on a meeting of Executive Committee of National Economic Council (ECNEC) during the revised Budget fixation for Sylhet Engineering College, the Minister also gave a hint about a plan to make these two Engineering College into Engineering University in near future.[2] This engineering college was inaugurated by Former Minister Principal Motiur Rahman on 4 July 2009. After that, a project of 27 crore was taken in hand for development of Mymensingh Engineering College. At last, project works for Mymensingh Engineering College were fully completed in 2011. It might be upgraded to fully-fledged public engineering university as name after "MUET".

The administration admitted 60 students (by admission test) into Electrical and Electronic Engineering Department on 4 July 2009. In Session 2008–2009, EEE department was introduced as the 1st batch of Mymensingh Engineering College. In Session 2014–15, CE department was introduced. At present three departments running in a full swing. CSE department started from 2017 to 2018 session. About 700 students are now studying in Mymensingh Engineering College within three departments.
