PAF-KIET

Karachi Institute of Economics & Technology (KIET) was established in 1997 with the aim of providing quality education economically. Its academic programs are designed to prepare the students to meet the challenges of the business world. KIET received recognition by the Higher Education Commission (formerly named as UGC) vide letter no. 15-22/UGC-SEC/97/1291 dated August 1, 1998. KIET is also accredited by Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC).
KIET was awarded a degree granting status through a charter from the Government of Sindh on May 24, 2000. In June 2000, the Institute moved to PAF, Korangi Creek after Pakistan Air Force (PAF) and Pakistan Educational Foundation (PEF) agreed to collaborate for a high-quality education institution at PAF, Korangi Creek Base. The PAF-KIET Main Campus, spread over 22 acres, is situated at PAF Korangi Creek, Karachi. It is located within 15-20 minutes drive from multiple points (Baloch Colony Overpass and FTC) on Shahrah-e-Faisal and is easily accessible. The educational complex at this campus has custom-built infrastructure that enables professional education in a peaceful environment. Purpose built building structures, open spaces and green lawns, and diversity of students creates a stimulating and lively campus environment.
The PAF-KIET City Campus is situated in P.E.C.H.S Block-6 at Shahrah-e-Faisal, Karachi. The location provides opportunity to working students for acquiring higher professional education during evenings and weekends. Diversity of work experience of students creates a mature and professional environment with lively class discussions. PAF-KIET launched two new campuses in 2011 in Karachi, one in the North Nazimabad and another at Super Highway, adjacent to Gulshan-e-Maymar. These two new campuses are developed for the convenience of students who are residing in the central and northern part of Karachi. Currently, there are over 4100 full time and part time students at PAF-KIET. All PAF-KIET’s Campuses are fully equipped with modern educational facilities including air-conditioned lecture rooms, computer labs, reading rooms, libraries, research centers in addition to the facilities of cafeterias and indoor and outdoor games.
