Institute of Leather Engineering & Technology prides itself as the oldest technical institute in the than East Pakistan. Just after the division of Indian sub continent the ministry of industry has approved on 15 August 1947 to set up East Bengal training institute for the human resource development of leather and leather products sector. Officially, the institute was founded on 10 June 1949 and the academic activities of this institute started from the year 1952 after necessary infrastructure development. Later, the institute remained as the East Pakistan leather technology and involved with the development of skilled oriented manpower for leather and leather product industry. During Pakistan period the Institute failed to provide necessary services to the industry due to various socio-political reasons. To provide better academic and educational facilities, the institute has been 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 Bangladesh institute of leather technology and was involved with diploma, certificate and artisan levels education until 1979. On realizing the economic importance of value added manufacturing of leather, the government of Bangladesh has introduced graduate course B.Sc. Engineering in leather under the university of Dhaka from the 1979-80 academic session and the institute was upgraded as Institute of Leather Technology in 2011.
Government of Bangladesh has also realized the economic return of manufactured export based on leather and take necessary measures for industrialization towards value-added manufacturing in the form of footwear and leather products to meet the supply of technical personnel in various level for this potential sector.

In the year 2008 all the department was added to the Faculty of Engineering of University of Dhaka. But at first it was said that only new academic students will be certified as Engineer not all the current students. Then the students asked the academic members to submit the proposal for engineering for all current students, but the members didn't. Moreover they said that it was impossible to submit that to the University. After a few months in April 2009 the students boycotted all the class and went to movement. At that time the Institute was closed to stop the movement. At last in the month of June 2009, under pressure from large amount of students the academic members was made bound to do the job. After that movement all the current students was said granted as engineer.
It now offers a four year B.Sc engineering degree in Leather Engineering, Footwear Engineering and Leather Products Engineering under the University of Dhaka. From the year 2009 ,all the continuing students of the college are getting the degree of B.Sc in Leather Engineering, Footwear Engineering and Leather Products Engineering.
Institute of Leather Engineering & Technology (ILET) is an educational institute under the University of Dhaka. ILET is an Institute of The University of Dhaka under the faculty of Engineering and Technology.
