History

It was established by the Muslim Education Society. Khan Bahadur Abdul Aziz (1863–1926), a prominent educationist, writer and social worker of the time, formed the Muslim Education Society in Chittagong in 1900. After the establishment of Victoria Hall, Kabiruddin Memorial Library and Free Islamia Reading Room by the Muslim Education Society, MES College was established in 1964, almost 38 years after the death of Khan Bahadur Abdul Aziz. At the time of its establishment, its main goal was to bring the backward Muslim community to the forefront. At the time of its establishment, the college only had the opportunity to teach Muslims, but later it was opened to students of all religions.
