UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL PUNJAB
Education in the twenty-first century demands a balance between continuity and change. The technological leaps and the consequences thereof have overtaken the old educational paradigms and new concepts have emerged in the world of learning. The Punjab Group of Colleges PGC was among the first to realize this transition and its challenges. The PGC, therefore, submitted a petition to the Government of the Punjab, in August 1996, to allow to establish a university in the province. A No Objection Certificate was issued in October 1999. The charter to establish the University of Central Punjab UCP was awarded in April 2002. Thus this University clinched the distinction of becoming the first private sector university in the Punjab which acquired the status of a degree awarding institution. When the University started its operations in October 1999, it offered courses in Management Studies, Information Technology, Commerce and Law through its principal constituents i.e. Punjab College of Business Administration PCBA, Punjab Institute of Computer Sciences PICS, Punjab College of Commerce PCC, Punjab Law College PLC and Punjab College of Information Technology PCIT, all situated in Lahore.
