About Us
The Sindh University Engineering College Jamshoro was established in 1963 as a constituent college of the University of Sindh to provide adequate opportunities for engineering education to the people belonging to the interior of Sindh Province. According to the education policy of 1972, the government decided to upgrade the college to the level of the University of Engineering & Technology after shifting it to Nawabshah. Consequently, the first-year classes were started at Nawabshah in February 1974.
In July 1976, this institution was declared as an additional campus of the University of Sindh through an amendment in the Sindh University Act, 1972 and was headed by a Pro-Vice-Chancellor. The additional campus was eventually upgraded to the level of University on 15th March 1977 through an ordinance. Later on, the Provincial Assembly of Sindh also passed an Act in this regard and named the institution Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Nawabshah.
In 1980, the Government decided to shift Mehran University of Engineering and Technology to Jamshoro and the campus at Nawabshah was declared a constituent college of Mehran University; renamed Mehran University College of Engineering and Technology (MUCET), Nawabshah”. On 7th August 1996, MUCET was upgraded to the level of a university through an ordinance and later through an act of the Sindh Assembly and was renamed the Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science and Technology (QUEST), Nawabshah. At present, QUEST is accredited by the Higher Education Commission (HEC), and Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) and is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities.
