The government has issued an ordinance forming Dhaka Central University colleges to manage higher education and research at seven public colleges in the capital.
The Ministry of Law, Justice and Parliamentary Affairs published the 'Dhaka Central University Ordinance, 2026' in the form of a gazette on Monday morning on its website.
However, the ordinance does not divide the seven colleges into four schools as proposed in the initial draft.
Instead, the colleges will remain academically affiliated with the university while maintaining their autonomy.
The newly formed higher education institution will oversee Dhaka College, Eden Mohila College, Government Shaheed Suhrawardy College, Kabi Nazrul Government College, Begum Badrunnesa Government Girls' College, Mirpur Government Bangla College and Government Titumir College.
