History

Cumilla Cadet College (CCC) was created on 1 July 1983 by converting Cumilla 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, Cumilla, 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 Cumilla University.[1][2]

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

Curriculum

Cadet colleges are under the control of Army Headquarters. 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]

Students take their SSC and Higher Secondary (School) Certificate (HSC) examinations under the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Cumilla. Of the schools under this board, CCC placed among the top ten in terms of SSC and/or HSC results from early 1990s till date.[5][6][7][8]

Alumni association

The Association of Cumilla Old Cadets (ACOC) was established in 1986 by ex-cadets of the first intake.[2]
