Dhaka is being called the dustiest city in Bangladesh. In Dhaka South City Corporation, almost all of the educational institutions are built on the side of the main road. This study aims to monitor the Particulate Matters (PM2.5 and PM10) concentration based on Educational institutions in Dhaka South City Corporation, Dhaka, Bangladesh. This study was conducted in 37 locations of Dhaka metropolitan, by using Aeroqual S500 Portbale Air Quality Monitor. It was found that average concentrations of PM2.5 and PM10 in 37 places in the study area were 68.82 and 113.95 µg/m3 respectively. The average concentration of PM2.5 and PM10 of all the zones was found more than one time higher than the Bangladesh National Air Quality Standard standard level. It is estimated that the average PM2.5/PM10 was 60.41%. It also revealed that the concentrations of PM2.5 may change significantly between and within the land uses as the P values are less than 0.05. The outcome of this research is arranged in descending order based on the average concentration of PM2.5 which follows as Zone-5 (Chak Bazar, Bangshal, Kotwali) > Zone-2 (Dhanmondi) > Zone-6 (Sutrapur, Gendaria, Jatra Bari) > Zone-3 (Ramna, Shahbagh) > Zone-1 (Hazaribagh) > Zone-4 (Lalbagh, New Market) > Zone-7 (Kadamtali).
