This is a duplicate of the material above so move to talk RJFJR (talk) 00:30, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

The Punjab Group of Colleges came into being as The Islamic Commerce Educational Society (ICES), registered in 1985, which established its first facility, the Punjab College of Commerce in Muslim Town on Canal Bank in Lahore, followed a few years later by the Punjab Law College. Since then the Punjab Group (PGC) has successfully branched out into various cities of Punjab. Following arrangements with foreign accredited universities, Punjab College of Business Administration (PCBA) was established in 1991 and Punjab Institute of Computer Science (PICS), in 1993, at Lahore. In less than five years both institutions emerged as highly specialized schools, training individuals as successful professional managers and computer scientists.

With a view to meeting academic needs of students, the Group went ahead and established another network in various cities of the Punjab by the name of ‘Punjab College of Information Technology’ (PCIT), the first having been established in Lahore in 2000 and the latest at Sialkot in 2005. The PGC has within a period of 21 years, not only established as many as thirty five colleges and two universities but has also earned reputation as the largest network of highly vibrant and progressive institutions in the private sector in the country. Mohammed Ali Jinnah University in Sindh and the University of Central Punjab are both chartered universities of the Group and are being rated very high in their respective domains. All these Institutions together have more than 40,000 students on rolls.

The educational institutions of the Punjab Group blend a premium faculty – 79 Foreign and 9 local Ph.Ds; 47 Foreign and 1200 local Masters’ degree holders, with vast experience and high repute to their credit. Such a highly qualified and experienced faculty is duly supported by the best teaching-aids and a students body with the highest potential to pursue studies in the finest possible learning environment.

''Moved from article to talk. Sounds POV (actually, sounds like it was copied from an advertisement)'' RJFJR (talk) 15:22, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

Academic excellence stands at the center of the University of Central Punjab experience. The University is committed to the search for knowledge and the compassionate understanding of humanity and the world - ideals the faculty pursues each day in classrooms, laboratories and libraries.

The education received at the University of Central Punjab will provide the student not only with technical knowledge, but also indispensable skills in speaking, writing and critical thinking - skills that will enable success in any field.

Whichever field of study in UCP's high quality academic programs in Management Studies, Information Technology, Commerce, Law or Engineering, the student is expected to:


 * Become intellectually engaged
 * Master a discipline
 * Enhance your communication skills
 * Learn to lead and to collaborate
 * Expand your understanding of social responsibility
 * Develop yourself personally.

Completing a degree program at UCP is an exciting way to develop skills and knowledge, build critical and creative thinking, and through our Volunteers In Service program, discern the value of civic engagement.
