University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore, is one of the leading engineering universities of Pakistan, and the oldest of them all, offering Bachelor, Master, and Doctoral degrees in a variety of disciplines. It is located on Grand Trunk Road, Mughalpura, Lahore, and is within a distance of a couple of kilometers from Shalimar Gardens.
It started as Mughalpura Technical College in 1921 during the British Raj. Two years later it was renamed to Maclagan College of Engineering when Sir Edward Maclagan, the Governor of Punjab at that time, inaugurated the construction of the main building. Finally in 1961, after it was awarded the university charter, the current name was adopted.
An alumni or student of the institute is popularly referred to as a UETian. The institute is most famous for its undergraduate studies owing to the fact that it is the top priority of higher secondary school graduates of the province. Since only the best students of the whole province manage to get admitted here, UETians are often collectively called ‘the cream of the nation.’Almost every student who takes up engineering studies in higher secondary grades wants to get into UET.
The faculty consists of over 250 individuals out of whom, more than 80 have doctoral degrees from reputed institutes of US and UK.
