(Hassan Ikram 0345-7553300 ) Punjab Group of Colleges (The Punjab Group)' is an association of universities and colleges within Pakistan . PGC came into being as The Islamic Commerce Educational Society (ICES), registered in l985, which established its first facility, the Punjab College of Commerce in Muslim Town on Canal Bank in Lahore, followed a few years later by the Punjab Law College. Since then the Punjab Group (PGC) has successfully branched out into various cities of Punjab. Following arrangements with foreign accredited universities, Punjab College of Business Administration (PCBA) was established in 1991 and Punjab Institute of Computer Science (PICS), in 1993, at Lahore. In less than five years both institutions emerged as highly specialized schools, training individuals as successful professional managers and computer scientists.

With a view to meeting academic needs of students, the Group went ahead and established another network in various cities of the Punjab by the name of ‘Punjab College of Information Technology’ (PCIT), the first having been established in Lahore in 2000 and the latest at Sialkot in 2005. The PGC has within a period of 21 years, not only established as many as thirty five colleges and two universities but has also earned reputation as the largest network of highly vibrant and progressive institutions in the private sector in the country.
