Punjab Group Of Colleges
Punjab College is the name of trust. It is known for its quality education, modern buildings,
spacious lawns, central locations, air-conditioned classrooms, latest labs and well-
stocked libraries. It started in 1985 from one campus in one city. The Punjab College of
Commerce was the first campus established in Lahore. Subsequently, it turned into a chain of
colleges that is now the largest network of colleges in Pakistan with 282 college campuses in
77 Cities.
The Punjab Group's mission was to extend commerce education throughout Pakistan and to
produce quality business specialists. The Group succeeded in its mission very soon. The
boards and university positions proved the Group's academic excellence. In sports and other
co-curricular activities, the Group also showed its superiority.
The highly educated and trained academic staff and congenial learning environment are the
marked features of Punjab Colleges. The teachers put their hearts and souls and take special
care of the students to achieve their goals.
Medical and engineering professionals have always been the basic need of a society. The
Punjab Group responded to the challenges of the new millennium by establishing a chain of
Science Colleges. At present, Punjab Colleges of Science are producing future doctors,
engineers and scientists in almost every major city of the province. These colleges have the
infrastructure to meet the growing demands of students in these disciplines. Students not only
learn, but also develop their personality and sharpen their intellect.
It is an established fact that to educate women means to educate a nation. Educated mothers
are better equipped to successfully rise the next generation.
Punjab Colleges have been providing quality education to both boys and girls at all
campuses since its inception at Intermediate, Graduation and Higher levels. To meet the
demands of today's young women and to give them a sense of privacy and security, the

management of Punjab Group decided to establish a chain of Punjab Colleges for Women in
all the cities where Punjab Colleges were operating.
These colleges maintained the traditions and attained the highest level of academic
supremacy. The top level of teaching at Punjab Colleges for Women can be gauged by the
fact that every year our students attain top positions throughout the province. The long
chains of position holders have never been broken.
This all has been achieved through commitment and devotion to the cause and mission. We
provide every possible help and care to the students and offer them many incentives, as these
are the hallmark of the Punjab Colleges.
The student obtaining top position in the University of the Punjab is awarded a new car and
free higher education at any institution being run under the aegis of the Punjab Group of
Colleges. Similarly, a brand new car is awarded to the student who attains overall first
position in Board. A new motorcycle is awarded to the student who clinches first position in
the Board Examination.
Co-curricular activities are an integral part of education as they develop a healthy sense
of competition and impart higher values. Punjab Colleges provide many such activities apart
from the traditional welcome and farewell functions. Students enjoy musical functions,
mushairas, debating contests, dramas, quiz programs, study and recreational tours across
Pakistan. Our students have participated in different competitions abroad.
By the grace of Allah Almighty, our Group has made credibility in the society due to its
commitment. Keeping in view the trends of the students and their parents, the management of
the Group has decided to establish new colleges in those cities where such facilities are not
available. This year we feel pride in announcing that Punjab Colleges have the largest
number of campuses in the country. We are in 77 cities with 282 college campuses
and more than 2, 49,000 students on roll.
Mission Statement
 To train students to develop their skills to think cogently
 To act rationally
 To express themselves coherently
 To work diligently and to function compassionately in all avenues of life as they strive

fees issues.EFA is providing less expensive studies keeping the financial problem of parents
on first priority.
