University of Sistan and Baluchestan is an Iranian public university headquartered in Zahedan, Sistan and Baluchestan province, Iran. The second largest university of Iran, it is the largest university of the province. It has two campuses in Iranshahr and Chabahar.
The University of Sistan and Baluchestan was founded in 1974 originally named University of Baluchestan in Zahedan with initial opening of the Faculty of Engineering and enrolments in Road and Construction Engineering. It did not take long for the university to become a higher education hub in the region. The next expansions were the Faculty of Nautical Science in Chabahar in 1978, the faculty of Agriculture in Zahedan in 1978 (later moved to Zabol), and the Faculty of Basic Science in Zahedan in 1989.

One of the success stories of the University of Sistan and Baluchestan, due to its high achievements and potentials, is the birth of two independent universities from it — Zabol University in 1998 and University of Chabahar in 2002.
