Introduction: INTRODUCTION
The University of Karachi (herein after referred to as the University) established in 1951 by the
Parliament through the “University of Karachi Act, 1950”, as a Federal University, which was
redefined later in 1962 as a University in the province of Sindh. Accordingly, with the passage
of time it emerged as a prestigious national institution imparting quality education at the higher
level.
The University was initially housed in a congested compound comprising of the few buildings
situated at the old Princes Street near Civil Hospital. However, the polluted and congested
environment of the area was not conducive to the academic and research activities required for a
quality output. Considering the need, the authorities sanctioned a plot located on the Country
Club road (now university road) expanded over an area of 1279 acres of land for this purpose.
Today, University of Karachi holds the status of anactive academic community, dedicated to
achieving excellence at all levels of higher education and research. This premier institution has
emerged as a dynamic place, keeping pace with academic advances and changes occurring
globally.
A number of scientists and scholars affiliated with the University are securing at important
positions both nationally abroad.They have been acclaimed as active and dedicated members of
society striving to bring positive change and development in the intellectual mindset of the
people of Pakistan.
Considering the increasing number of applicants every year, the University initiated its Evening
Program a few years ago at BS/Hons. and Masters Levels. An independent Directorate of
Evening Program was set up in 1995 to deal with the matters pertaining to studies in the evening,
including admissions academics and administration.
At present, the University of Karachi offers B.A.(Hons.) / B.Sc.(Hons.) / BS / BBA / B.Ed./

BPA(Hons.)/ BLIS / MCS / M.Sc. /LL.B/ LL.M / M.Ed. programs in six disciplines, which

and research in all disciplines offered at the University.
As per recommendation of Higher Education Commission, University of Karachi introduced a

four year BS program in 2007 abolishing its BA/BSc./B.Com. (Honors) programs. However, its
Academic Council decided to offer both the programs concurrently. The admissions are
announcedin the following degree programs simultaneously:
