Cumilla Government College (Bengali: কুমিল্লা সরকারি কলেজ, romanized: Cumilla Shorkari College) is a public college in the Police Line area of Cumilla, Bangladesh. Established as Comilla College in 1968, it was nationalised in 1985. The college offers higher-secondary courses under the Cumilla Education Board and bachelor's pass and honours programmes affiliated with National University.

History

Establishment and early years

Comilla College was established as a private college in 1968 through the efforts of lawyer Abul Khair, lawyer Sajedul Haque and industrialist Mohammad Nurul Haque. The site had previously been a zamindar's house associated with Jatindra Chandra Kar and Rabindra Kar; the family had left for India before the 1947 partition of India, and the site was later used as a regional East Pakistan Rifles camp. The college began with higher-secondary classes, and students first sat the HSC examination at its own centre in 1972.

Nationalisation and expansion

The college was nationalised in 1985. Its first honours programmes—in English, Accounting, Management and Political Science—began around 1995. Bengali and Mathematics were later added. Economics was included in plans for 2017–18, but the National University had not authorised honours admissions in the subject by 2025.

Academics

The college offers higher-secondary courses in science, humanities and business studies. Its bachelor's pass programmes are B.A., B.S.S. and B.B.S. Honours programmes are offered in six subjects: Bengali, English, Political Science, Accounting, Management and Mathematics.

In April 2025, the college announced a hired bus service between Companiganj and the campus.

Student life
