Mohammad Ali Jinnah University (MAJU), is a Semi Government university primarily located in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. The university was operated an additional campus in Islamabad but it changed into Capital University of Science and Technology (CUST), Islamabad in 2015. Now CUST is separated from MAJU, Karachi and under the Federal Government and MAJU Trust.
Established in 1998, the university offers undergraduate, post-graduate and doctoral studies programmes, with a strong emphasis on business management, applied sciences, engineering, and computer science. It is one of the top institution of higher learning in the country, and is listed in the top ten universities for "general category" by the HEC, as of 2013. In addition, the university is also a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities of the United Kingdom.
The Punjab Group of Colleges has been serving the community with education since 1985. Punjab College of Commerce was the first institution to be established by the Group at Lahore. The Group is extending its network to several cities in the country.
Under the umbrella of the Punjab Group of Colleges, Punjab College of Business Administration (PCBA) and Punjab Institution of Computer Science (PICS) have emerged as business and computer science institutions. Punjab Law College and Punjab College of Information Technology are also links in this chain of colleges.
As a tribute to the Father of the Nation, the group named its next ambitious project as Mohammad Ali Jinnah University. The university was granted its charter by the government of Sindh in 1998. The Islamabad campus was established after obtaining an NOC from UGC, dated 17 August 1998 and dated 29 November 2001 and NOC from HEC dated 27 September 2003.
