Though this university received its university status in 2005 but it counts its history as an educational institution since 1858 when it was initially formed as "Dhaka Brahma School". In 1884 its status was updated to higher secondary college which was further revised in 1975 when Jagannath started taking students in "Honours" and "Masters" programs. Its higher secondary program continued for 92 years until it was officially closed in 1982. In 2005 college was granted university status and became Jagannath University.
