History

Comilla Cadet College (CCC) was created on 1 July 1983 by converting Comilla Residential Model School, a government boarding school that had been established on the site in 1966.[2][3][4] CCC formally opened on 7 April 1984 under founding principal Lt. Col. Nurul Anwar, with 150 cadets in three intakes. In the months that followed, three more intakes brought it to full enrollment.[2]

Campus

The campus is located on 52 acres (21 ha) in Kotbari, Comilla, about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) southwest of the city center. It is near the Buddhist archaeological site Shalban Vihara, Bangladesh Academy for Rural Development (BARD), and Comilla University.[1][2]

CCC is a residential school, so its buildings include cadet dormitories and staff quarters.[1]

Cadet colleges are under the control of the Ministry of Defence. CCC is a school for boys. Admission starts from seventh grade. At the end of tenth grade, cadets sit the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination. Those who pass have the option of continuing into eleventh and twelfth grades.[3]
