1. BRIEF HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSITY The NED University of Engineering & Technology, Karachi was established in March 1977 under an Act of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh on upgradation of the former NED Government Engineering College, Karachi. From the historical point of view, therefore, the University is fairly young. However, the NED Government Engineering College which originally formed the nucleus of the University structure, was set up in 1922 and was thus the oldest engineering institution of Pakistan. Initially starting from an enrolment of 50 students in Civil Engineering more than eight decades ago, the student population now in the three campus (Main, City & LEJ) has gone up to around 8288 at undergraduate and graduate level. This institution was initially founded as Prince of Wales Engineering College by the donations of the citizens of Karachi to commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1921. The College was renamed as NED Engineering College in 1924 in memory of Mr. Nadirshaw Edulji Dinshaw, a well-known philanthropist, whose heirs made substantial donation for its development at the time of his first death anniversary. After the creation of Pakistan, the Government of the Province of Sindh took over the management of the College on October 17, 1947, and renamed it as NED Government Engineering College, Karachi. The College remained affiliated to the following Universities before it was raised to the status of full-fledged University. (a) The University of Bombay (from inception to 1947) (b) The University of Sindh (from 1947 to 1951) (c) The University of Karachi (from 1951 to February 1977) A comprehensive plan was prepared in 1964 to shift the College from the downtown area to a new 40- hectare site adjoining the University of Karachi. The project was executed with the World Bank assistance and the College was shifted to the new Campus in 1975. The College was upgraded as additional campus of the University of Karachi in 1976 and finally raised to full-fledged Engineering University on March 1, 1977. Further development of the institution is continuing. The main campus at present has adequate teaching and laboratory facilities for graduate Programmes leading to the degree of Bachelor of Engineering in twenty-one disciplines viz Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer & Information Systems Engineering, Textile Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering, Urban Engineering, Telecommunications 01
