NED University of Engineering and Technology was established in March 1977 under an act of the Provincial Assembly of Sindh after upgrading the former NED Government Engineering College, which was set up in 1921. The NED University is thus one of the oldest institutions 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 P.W.D., the Municipalities, and Local Boards.
