Officially, the institute was found on 10 June 1949 and academic activities started from the year 1952 after provision of infrastructure. Later, the institute was renamed Pakistan Leather Technology
During the Pakistani period the institute failed to provide necessary services to the industry for socio-political reasons. To provide better academic and educational facilities, the institute was transferred to the Ministry of Education and placed under the administrative control of the technical education in 1967.
After liberation, the institute was recognized as the Bangladesh College of Leather Technology and was involved with diploma, certificate and artisan level education until 1979. The government introduced a graduate course in B.Sc. Engineering in Leather under the University of Dhaka with the 1979-1980 academic session. The college was then named as Bangladesh College of Leather Engineering and Technology On 18 August 2011, the college was handed over to University of Dhaka with its resource and manpower.And now it's an institute of Dhaka university.(Institute of Leather Engineering and Technology) .
