History※

The main academic building was constructed in 1994 and the college was formally inaugurated during the 1994–95 academic year by, the former prime minister of Bangladesh, Khaleda Zia. 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.

Admission※

Admission to Rajuk Uttara Model College is highly competitive, due to it being one of the most reputed colleges in the country. 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. 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 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.
