Punjab Group has been espousing the cause of education since 1985 the Islamic Commerce Educational Society (ICES) established its first college by the name of Punjab College of Commerce in 1985 in Lahore. Few years later, it was followed by Punjab Law College. After successfully branching out into several other cities of the Province, the Group came to be known as ‘Punjab Group of Colleges’ (PGC).
In 1991, Punjab College of Business Administration (PCBA) was established. It was followed by Punjab Institute of Computer Sciences (PICS), Lahore, in 1993. In less than five years, both the institutions emerged as schools of high repute, specializing in training individuals as successful professional managers and computer scientists. Within the last two decades, Punjab Group has established 74 colleges and 40 school campuses throughout Punjab.
Punjab Group also runs two Chartered Universities which have already made their mark. Muhammad Ali Jinnah University (MAJU) in Karachi was granted degree-awarding status by the Government of Sindh in 1998, and maintains campuses at Karachi and Islamabad, both recognized by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. The University of Central Punjab (UCP) was established in 1999. In 2002, it earned the distinction of becoming the first degree-awarding University, in the private sector of Punjab.
Our institutions offer a wide array of educational services ranging from school education to Ph.D level. The combined strength of students totals more than 100,000. The faculty of the educational institutions of Punjab Group includes 52 foreign and local Ph.Ds and nearly 3464 foreign & local Master’s Degree holders with vast experience in the field of education. Our highly qualified and committed faculty is duly supported by the best teaching aids and classroom facilities to help our students reach their full potential, in the finest learning environment.
Education in the twenty-first century demands a balance between continuity and change. The technological leaps and the consequences thereof have overtaken the old educational paradigms and new concepts have emerged in the world of learning. Punjab Group of Colleges (PGC) was among the first to realize this transition and its challenges. The PGC, therefore, submitted a petition to the Government of Punjab, in August 1996, for establishing a university in the province. A No Objection Certificate was issued in October 1999. The charter to establish the University of Central Punjab (UCP) was awarded in April 2002. Thus this University clinched the distinction of becoming the first private sector university in Punjab which acquired the status of degree-awarding institution.
Upon commencement of operations in October 1999, the university offered courses in Management Studies, Information Technology, Commerce and Law through its principal constituents i.e. Punjab College of Business Administration (PCBA), Punjab Institute of Computer Sciences (PICS), Punjab College of Commerce (PCC), Punjab Law College (PLC) and Punjab College of Information Technology (PCIT), all situated in Lahore.
