PNS Jauhar

Pakistan Navy Engineering College (PNEC) is the only constituent college of National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST) at Karachi with a progressive vision for future academic goals. PNEC has established a professional reputation for excellence in teaching and research because of its high academic standards, highly qualified faculty and state-of-the-art academics related facilities available to students and faculty. The role of the college is to produce engineers for Pakistan Navy. To do this the college conducts undergraduate and postgraduate courses in Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering disciplines that lead to B.E and M.SC. Degrees. Besides service officers these courses are also availed by civilian students and officers of defense services from allied countries.

PN Engineering College (PNEC) ensures high quality in academics and research works in the degree programmes in the disciplines of Mechanical, Electrical and Electronics Engineering. Academic ambiance and disciplined environment are added features of this institution. Appreciable reduction in the duration of Undergraduate and Postgraduate degree courses is the prominent feature of PNEC's academic achieved by better management, cutting all non-productive holidays and maintaining a constant momentum characterized by all round academic and intellectual activity.

In 1981 Pakistan Naval Engineering College was established and commissioned as PNS JAUHAR. The genesis of PN Engineering College lies in the Officers Training Center which was setup as part of PNS Karsaz in 1962. In 1966 the status of OTC was upgraded to that of a college and given the name of PN Engineering College (PNEC). It was initially affiliated with the University of Karachi and in 1977 the affiliation of PNEC transferred to NED University of Engineering and Technology. The college was shifted to its present location in 1982 and commissioned as PNS JAUHAR. PNEC became a constituent college of National University of Science and Technology (NUST) in 1995. The college acquired ISO-9001 certification in 1999 and became the first ISO-9001 certified educational institute in Pakistan.

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.

Pakistan Navy Engineering College is committed to produce high quality professional engineers who meet the standards set out by Naval Headquarters/NUST and Pakistan Engineering Council.
