History

Pre-Independence

[edit]

Founded in 1921, as Prince of Wales Engineering College,[4] to provide training to civil engineers working in building the Sukkur Barrage. In 1924, the college received donation of Rupees 150,000 from the heirs of Nadirshaw Edulji Dinshaw. As a result, the college was renamed to NED Government Engineering College.[5] The NED College first remained associated with the University of Bombay (now known as the University of Mumbai) for many years during the British Empire until 1947.[4]

Post-Independence

[edit]

This university came to its modern form after being established by the British government and was taken over by the Government of Sindh in 1947. As Karachi continued to grow after the independence of Pakistan in 1947, and the old 'City Campus' became too crowded, a new 'Main Campus' was constructed on its present location on University Road, Karachi in 1975. The NED University of Engineering & Technology, was established on 1 March 1977 under an act of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh after upgrading of the former NED Government Engineering College, which was set up in 1921. The NED University is thus one of the oldest institution in Pakistan for teaching and producing Engineering graduates. Prior to this, the D.J.Sindh College, used to run classes to train subordinates for the Sindh PWD, the Municipalities and Local Boards.[4] This university is named after its benefactor Nadirshaw Edulji Dinshaw.[4]

Campuses
