History of UCP Lahore

The Punjab Group of Colleges, one of the largest educational networks in Pakistan, petitioned the Government of Punjab to build a university in the province in 1996. The Punjab Institute of Computer Science (PICS), Punjab College of Commerce (PCC), Punjab Law College (PLC), and Punjab College of Information Technology (PCIT) formed the core of the university at the time of establishment. 

In 2004, following a restructuring, the PCBA and PICS operated under the Faculty of Management Studies and Faculty of Information Technology of the University of Central Punjab, respectively. The Punjab Colleges of Commerce and the Punjab Law College now respectively function under the Faculties of Commerce and Law of the University of Central Punjab.

The Faculty of Engineering (FOE) was introduced in 2002. According to the HEC ranking in 2022, its business school ranks seventh in Lahore.
