Our mission is to make research and development, and innovation a strategic priority for the university, as these are essential elements for the sustainable development and economic growth of the country. The university aims to strengthen its existing linkages with other academic institutions, government and industry, and to develop new linkages.
The NED University of Engineering & Technology was established in 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 institutions in Pakistan for teaching and producing Engineering graduates. Before this, the D.J. Sindh College used to run classes to train subordinates for the Sindh P.W.D., the Municipalities, and Local Boards.
The original NED Engineering College was housed in four blocks of buildings and two sheds. The main block was named Seth Fatehchand Dewandas Khilnani Hall. The block housing the Power House, Electrical and Hydraulics Laboratories, and Workshops was named after Bai Puribai and Bacharbai. Further additions were made to this block to provide accommodation for the Machine Shop on the ground floor and a (Mechanical) Drawing Hall on the first floor. The fourth block, completed in 1945, contained a Classroom and Clerk's Office on the ground floor and another (Civil) Drawing Hall on the first floor.
On the 1st of March, 1977 the NED Government Engineering College became the NED University of Engineering and Technology. From an enrolment of 50 students in 1923, the student population, at both undergraduate and graduate levels, has now gone up to nearly 7000.
Our Vision is "Be a leader in enabling Pakistan's social and economic transformation". Our Mission is to "Acquire education and research excellence in engineering and allied disciplines to produce leadership and enabling application of knowledge and skills for the benefit of the society with integrity and wisdom".
