About Us

Our vision is to create an institution, built on the foundation of providing quality education to the youth of Pakistan. This core belief has been validated through top rankings, accreditations, and awards from leading national and international academic organizations.

Education in the 21st century requires adapting to the challenges of modern times and maintaining a balance between continuity and change. The adaptation of technological advancements has taken over the old traditional paradigms of education. Punjab Group of Colleges (PGC) was amongst the first to realize the need for this transition. PGC, therefore, submitted a petition to the Government of Punjab, in August 1996, to allow 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, attaining the distinction of becoming the first private sector university in Punjab which acquired the status of a degree awarding institution. When the University operations started in October 1999, it offered courses in Management Studies, Ination 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 Ination Technology (PCIT), Punjab College of Commerce (PCC) and Punjab Law College (PLC) respectively, all situated in Lahore.
