Mehran University of Engineering & Technology, Jamshoro
Industrial and technological development in Pakistan has been quite rapid since
its independence and particularly during the sixties and seventies. The main fields
of development have been related to the enhancement of agriculture, establishment
of and up-gradation of industries and exploration of its indigenous resources.
This development has resulted in increased demand for qualified engineers in different
fields in addition to other professionals. In order to meet this demand and to
provide an opportunity of engineering education to the people hailing from the
interior of Sindh Province, Sindh University Engineering College was established
in 1963 as a constituent college of University of Sindh (then spelt 'Sind') in
Jamshoro about 15 km. from Hyderabad on the right bank of river Indus.
The Education Policy of 1972 provided for up-gradation of the Sindh University
Engineering College to the level of a University of Engineering and Technology.
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 fully fledged independent University on 1st March, 1977 through an
ordinance issued by the Government of Sindh. The ordinance was later converted
into an Act of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh Province. The new University was
named as "Mehran University of Engineering and Technology". Initially,
the Additional Campus as well the Mehran University was established in the City
of Nawabshah, necessitating shifting of the most of the infrastructure from Jamshoro.
However, in 1979, the Act of the University was amended and the seat of the University
was retained at Jamshoro, while a constituent College titled ' Mehran University
College of Engineering and Technology' was maintained at Nawabshah, to cater for
the needs of the engineering education of upper Sindh.. The Mehran University
College of Engineering and Technology, Nwasbahsh, has also become an independent
University in 1996, which has been renamed as 'Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering
Sciences and Technology'. Consequently, Mehran University of Engineering and Technology
now exists only at Jamshoro, having territorial jurisdiction over the Hyderabad
and Mirpurkahs Divisions of Sindh Province. Nevertheless, few seats are still
reserved for the candidates coming from other divisions of Sindh Province.
The number of students admitted to the First Year classes of all the under-graduate
disciplines is 576 out of which 537 candidates are admitted from Sindh Province,
including Karachi Division, according to a precisely calculated ratio of population
and other considerations. 21 applicants are admitted from other parts of Pakistan
while 18 seats are reserved for the foreigners. The detailed distribution of the
seats is given in Section-6 of this Prospectus.
Most of the laboratories and workshops of the teaching departments are properly
equipped and practical as well as demonstrational training is imparted to the
students wherever applicable. Continuous efforts are ongoing to upgrade these
facilities for the practical training and new equipment is acquired for this purpose.
Additionally, training to the concerned staff is also organized within the University
as well as outside. In some cases, where the training facilities are not available
within the University, the students are sent to suitable institutes in Karachi
or elsewhere to undergo adequate training. Every department has been provided
adequate number of personal computers and e-mail and Internet facilities for the
training and use of the students as well teaching staff. The postgraduate courses
were started in the University in 1978 leading to M.E. Degree, initially, in three
branches.
Hostel facilities are also available for about 1100 students on the campus both
male and female; which are located at walking distance from the teaching departments.
These hostels are equipped with necessary facilities including bathrooms, reading
rooms, game rooms, dining halls, etc.
More details of the facilities available for the students are described in Chapter
5 of prospectus; which include medical care, transport, games and recreation,
Library and so on.
