History [edit]
The Punjab Group of Colleges has been serving the community with education since 1985. Punjab College of Commerce was the first institution to be established by the Group at Lahore. The Group is extending its network to several cities in the country.
Under the umbrella of the Punjab Group of Colleges, Punjab College of Business Administration (PCBA) and Punjab Institution of Computer Science (PICS) have emerged as business and computer science institutions. Punjab Law College and Punjab College of Information Technology are also links in this chain of colleges.
As a tribute to the Father of the Nation, the group named its next ambitious project as Mohammad Ali Jinnah University. The university was granted its charter by the government of Sindh in 1998 (Reference S.LEGIS:1(7)/98 dated July 1, 1998, which was finally promulgated in the year 2000 (Reference S.LEGIS:1(4)/2000 dated May 18, 2000. The Islamabad campus was established after obtaining an NOC from UGC ref. 16-21/UGC-sec/98/1348 dated 17 August 1998 and 16-21 UGC/AA & C/98/553 dated 29 November 2001 and NOC from HEC ref. 16-21/HEC/A&A/2003/649 dated 27 September 2003.
In recognition of its services to education, the group has been awarded another charter by the government of Punjab to establish the University of Central Punjab.
Resource Academia was established in Islamabad after the success of the school in Lahore in 2003. The institution will provide education from preschool to grade VIII at the junior level, and from O level to A level at the senior level.
