Brief History of MUET

Mehran University of Engineering and Technology (MUET) is a public sector university catering to the future engineering professionals’ demands of the Sindh Province in particular and the country in the broader sense. It was initially established as Sindh University Engineering College of the University of Sindh in 1963. Accordingly, the college was first declared as an additional campus of the University of Sindh headed by a Pro-Vice-Chancellor in July 1976 and later upgraded to the level of a full-fledged independent University on March 1, 1977, through an ordinance issued by the Governor of Sindh. The ordinance was later converted into an Act of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh Province. The new University was named “Mehran University of Engineering and Technology”.

In 2009, a constituent college named Mehran University College of Engineering and Technology was established at Khairpur Mirs’ to cater to the increasing demand for qualified engineers. Later on, in 2013, it was upgraded as MUET, SZAB Campus, Khairpur Mirs’.

In 2013 HEC ranked, Mehran University of Engineering and Technology as the 4thbest engineering degree awarding institution in Pakistan, the number one Engineering University of Sindh Province that attracts several students from all around Pakistan and from foreign countries, mostly from South Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.

The University has a mission to produce high-quality engineering graduates with extraordinary skills to fulfill the rising demand of the industry. The University is focusing on establishing stronger linkages with the industry to better understand their present and future engineering requirements.
