Dhaka Residential Model College (DRMC) formerly known as Residential Model School, is a public school in Mohammadpur, Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. With over 4,200 students, 1,000 of which reside in its six houses (dormitories), DRMC is one of the largest residential schools in the country. The Government of Pakistan founded the school in 1960, in an area of about 60 acre beside Mirpur Road ne
ar Sher-e-Bangla Nagor in Dhaka, when Bangladesh was a part of Pakistan. The school was the only one in Bangladesh under the direct control of the Ministry of Education, and it continues to enjoy this special status as of 2013. The school, and later the college, were modeled after public schools in the United Kingdom (according to the British Public Schools Act 1868), particularly Eton College. Dhaka Residential Model College is noted for its academic performance and extracurricular activities, having produced many notable alumni including leaders in business, the military and state and national politics as well as senior government officers, scientists and engineers. Current and the former students of Dhaka Residential Model College are called REMIANS.
