RAJUK Uttara Model College (RUMC) (Bengali: রাজউক উত্তরা মডেল কলেজ) is a co-educational College in Uttara, Dhaka, Bangladesh.[1] [2] It is situated about a kilometer north of Shahjalal International Airport. Established in 1994,[3] the institution teaches its students in Bengali and English under the Bangladeshi national curriculum. It has two recurring schedules: Morning and Day. Students are admitted into specific grades; according to the availability of seats, starting from the sixth up to the twelfth grade.[4] [5]

History

The main academic building was constructed in 1994 and the college formally inaugurated during the 1994–95 academic year by former prime minister Khaleda Zia.[6] Due to a shortage of infrastructural facilities, further construction was taken up in 1995. This construction was completed in two phases and the campus took its present shape in 2001.[7]

Admission

Admission to Rajuk Uttara Model College is highly competitive, due to it being one of the most reputed colleges in the country.[8] Applicants have to pass a written test to qualify. Admission tests for the sixth and the ninth grade are generally held in December and academic sessions begin in January. The admission procedure for the eleventh grade starts soon after the publication of results from the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) exam, with admission based on SSC exam results.[8] However, at present, because of the decision taken by the Ministry of Education (Bangladesh), Rajuk College does not take any type of test whilst admitting a student in the sixth or in the ninth grade. In response to the decision of the Ministry of Education, Rajuk College has been admitting students in the sixth, seventh, eighth, and ninth grade via a draft pick system.

Academic performance

In 2008, the Dhaka Board of Education recognized RUMC for its performance on the HSC examinations.[9] RUMC also received the Best School award in the National Debate Festival 2008.[10]
