List of universities in Pakistan

Home > Library > Miscellaneous > Wikipedia
The University of the Punjab, established 1882 in Lahore, is the oldest University of Pakistan.

This is a list of higher education institutions in Pakistan. In Pakistan, up till 2002, Universities were recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) which draws its powers from The University Grants Commission Act, 1974. The Act was repealed in 2002 by the Higher Education Commission Ordinance, 2002[1] and since then, Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) is responsible for higher education policy, quality assurance, degree recognition, development of new institutions and uplift of existing institutions in Pakistan. Pakistan has both private and public universities, many of which are supported by the Government of Pakistan and the Provincial governments. Apart from these there are private universities supported by various bodies and societies. Pakistan produces about 445,000 university graduates and 10,000 computer science graduates per year.[2]

HEC recognises 132 institutions of which 73 are public universities and 59 are private universities.[3] There are 127 Universities in total that are fully functional though.[4]
