History

The genesis of Pakistan Navy Engineering College (PNEC) lies in the Officers Training Section (OTS) which was established in 1962 as part of PNS KARSAZ, sailor's training establishment. In 1966, the status of OTS was upgraded to that of a college and named Pakistan Navy Engineering College. The same year it got affiliated with the University of Karachi. In 1977, the affiliation of PNEC was transferred to NED University of Engineering & Technology. The college was shifted to its present location in 1982 and commissioned as PNS JAUHAR as an independent unit of Pakistan Navy. It became a constituent college of National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) in November 1995.

The primary role of PN Engineering College is to produce Quality Engineers for Pakistan Navy and NUST. To achieve this, it conducts degree courses in the disciplines of Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and MS/PhD degree courses in the disciplines of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. These courses are also availed by other Defense Services and brotherly countries. Since 1987, limited numbers of civilian students are also being enrolled in these courses each year. Apart from BE and MS/PhD degree courses, the college also provides specialized mid career courses for PN technical officers after they have obtained competency certificate onboard PN Ships. These include Marine Engineering Systems Management Course and Weapons Engineering Systems Management Course, specially designed to meet the service requirements of the officers in their career.

To bring a structured approach to quality assurance and support our continuing evaluation of the curriculum and the administrative practices, the college achieved ISO 9001 certification in May 1999 as per 1994 standard. This is a matter of pride for the Pakistan Navy Engineering College and also for NUST that PNEC is the first such institution in country to achieve this certification. In June 2002, the college shifted to the new quality standards i.e. ISO 9001: 2000.
