History edit
BMC was established in August 2006 by former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Akram Khan Durrani and opened that December.[citation needed] In 2009, a new campus in Bannu Township was approved and formal work started in 2013.[5] Though the 600 kanal[citation needed] campus was intended to be completed by 2016, there were delays due to shortage of funds, with the construction estimated to cost Rs627 million.[5] The temporary location for the college was in Bannu City in the Government High School No. 3 building.[5] Because the Bannu City campus did not have residence halls, students had to find their own accommodation.[5] Construction finished and the permanent campus in Bannu Township was opened in March 2021.[6]
