The office of the Controller of Examinations is one of the largest and most important office of the University of Dhaka. During the foundation of this University in 1921 there was no separate entity of this office. The total functions related to Examinations were performed by the ‘Examination section’ of Registrar’s office. At that time the Registrar discharged the duties in addition, which is now discharged by the Controller of Examinations.

It was the only University in the Eastern zone of undivided Bengal and at that time there was no affiliated or constituent Colleges under this University. Due to termination of British realm and independence of India and Pakistan fiftyfive Colleges of East Bengal which were under the University of Calcutta came within the jurisdiction of the University of Dhaka in 1948.
