NED University of Engineering and Technology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nadirshaw Edulji Dinshaw University of Engineering and Technology (NED University) is the largest and oldest engineering institution of Pakistan, located in Karachi, Sindh. The university was originally founded as the Prince of Wales's Engineering College with donations from Karachi citizens to commemorate the visit of the Prince of Wales in 1921. The College was renamed as NED Engineering College in 1924 in honour of the philanthropist Nadirshaw Edulji Dinshaw. After Pakistani independence in 1947, the provincial government of Sindh took over the management of the College and renamed it to NED Government Engineering College, Karachi. The College was affiliated to the following Universities before it was granted full University status:

• University of Bombay (from inception to 1947)
