About the University
National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) was established in March 1991 for the promotion of
higher scientific education in the country, especially in the fields of science and technology by providing stable
and disciplined academic environment together with need-based research, pertinent to industrial requirements.
The University was granted its Charter in 1993. Over the years, the University has expanded in scope, services and
stature and has emerged as a leading comprehensive University in the public sector.
