    KARACHI UNIVERSITY can be a good option for students, but unfortunately they lack many things, first thing is their security, I went to Karachi university only one time and on that day I regretted going there, pathetic staff, unfortunately no security, no cameras, no responsibility. It is more than a jungle, i know how old it is but still if they are charging fees they should do some maintenance also provide some safety and security, dogs are roaming around, students are smoking, it is not about smoking but I think people should know basic rules and regulations of a University or any Educational Institute. New semester students are being raged, I saw it from my own eyes. Overall it was a very bad decision going there, their educational department is far better than other departments 10/10. It was highly maintained and clean. The worst department was VISUAL DEPARTMENT. Pathetic. Even the staff there didn’t give us any information we went to know about admissions and all they said was you will get it online. Would rate it 1/10 UBIT Department was also fine it was 8/10. Also if you want to go to KU you better be using SILVER JUBLEE GATE to enter otherwise you will get tired of walking it is a very big university. But they need to work on them. SILVER JUBLEE GATE PICTURE HAS BEING ATTACHED.

    At the time of creation of Pakistan as a sovereign state in 1947, means for higher education and research were negligible. Responding to the impending requirement of higher learning, Pakistan started establishing relevant educational institutions of higher learning and research and thus underwent rapid modernization. The University of Karachi was established by an act of Pakistan parliament in June, 1951. The present campus, to which the University shifted in 1959, is spread over 1279 acres of land, situated 12 Km away from the city center. Today the University is recognized as a premier center of learning and research in the Subcontinent and in the Third World. A number of scientists and scholars affiliated with the University are working in important positions both within and outside Pakistan and have won recognition and acclaim. One of the institutes of the University has got the distinction of being made the Centre of the Third World Academy of Sciences. Students from several foreign countries are also pursuing for the Masters and Doctorate degrees. Because of high academic and research standards of the University a large number of students from Karachi and other parts of the country apply for admission here. Keeping in view a very high number of applicants, the University has started evening classes in several departments at BS and Masters Levels and a Directorate of Evening Program was established to control and run Evening Program. At present teaching at the University campus is conducted under six faculties: Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Islamic Studies, Faculty of Management & Administrative Sciences, Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of Pharmacy. There are over 52 departments and 19 research institutes/ centers, which are imparting education to more than 24,000 students including students from foreign countries. The faculty comprises of more than 700 highly qualified and experienced teachers; many of them have obtained higher degrees from abroad and enjoy a high repute internationally. The non-teaching staff comprises more than 1700 people to help with administrative and other matters. The University of Karachi is also an affiliating and examining body and at present, 145 colleges and institutions are affiliated to the University. The courses of studies for these institutions are approved by the University and examinations are also conducted under its auspices. The University conducts examinations of about 150,000 students studying in these colleges/institutes, prepare their results and award degrees.

    One of the oldest university of Karachi but they still have manual system. You should have launched an online system to facilitate students. Nothing changed for the last 40 years. A student still have to stand in a line for an admission form.

    KARACHI university is one of the best government universities of Pakistan. It has 50+ departments, many research institutes,and highly qualified teachers. Admissions are offered on open Merit basis and Merit both depends on department. There is a large number of students from all over Pakistan especially Sindh studying in KU. The university doesn't have its own hostel for boys therefore students have to manage their abode outside of uni in private hostels.

    The University of Karachi is the largest university of Province Sindh. It is located in the Gulshan-e-Iqbal / Gulistan-e-Johar area of Karachi. It is the largest university in terms of area, departments and faculty. It offers a wide range of programs from History to Computer Sciences (contemporary). The only deplorable thing is condition of buildings same as the case with all governmental institutions. It dearly needs improvement in infrastructure.

  • 2/5 Waleed N. 5 months ago on Google
    It was once renowned as one of Karachi's top universities, but regrettably, its maintenance has dwindled over time. The institution's reputation for academic excellence has suffered due to inadequate upkeep, impacting its overall standing in the education sector. Despite its past reputation as a leading Karachi university, its present condition reveals a stark contrast. Neglect and lack of investment in infrastructure and resources have eroded its educational standards, hindering its ability to provide a quality learning experience.

    Given the vast land area and large number of departments the University of Karachi is very diverse. Student body is comprised of pupils from all sorts of different backgrounds. The education quality and set of available facilities vary from department to department. Some departments are state of the art and some not so much and the fee of programs vary accordingly. Roads, Transport Buses, and buildings of many departments need renovation. Need more street lamps, more inter-university shuttles, need a proper gym and sports facility.
