It is my sheer bliss to assume the privileged position of Vice-Chancellor Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science and Technology (QUEST) Nawabshah, the platform where I started my career, and it is the institute from where I graduated in 1986. I am highly indebted to Allah the Almighty for his continued blessings on me. Additionally, I am always grateful to all my colleagues for supporting me in this crucial role.

The QUEST is a recognized institute across the globe, and its graduates are contributing their endeavors successfully and positively towards developing the socio-economic development of academic institutes on both the national and international level.

The Quaid-e-Awam University is Pakistan´s one of the leading public-sector universities which is committed to solving the diverse challenges we face today. Our University provides a platform to bring together promising minds to serve the world. For achieving this, we provide the right balance of faculty, services, technology, and cultures to encourage both learners and teachers to develop, explore and discover new ideas. Our dream is to make our university the country´s best educational institution.

The QUEST is expanding its global reach to provide more opportunities and exposures for collaboration. In this regard, the Several MOUs have been signed with some renowned universities of different countries such as the USA, Turkey, Malaysia, Thailand, China, Indonesia, and Germany. Our university is equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, library, and other facilities in order to achieve an academic excellence and meet international academic standards.

In QUEST, all stakeholders, such as educators, administrators, students, and employees are working as a team with ownership attitude in the ongoing process of erecting their university´s academic standards. I truly appreciate and accept my team members´ tremendous cooperation.

We strive to take place in a free, peaceful, and a balanced environment. We believe that cultivating good ideals of morality, integrity, fairness, and respect for each other is indispensable for the studies. We also believe that young people should have a role in defining their destinies.

We help them to explore their abilities, plan for their future, and make an immediate impact at their work. Pakistan´s high youth population and their energy provides to us a wonderful opportunity to play a role in inspiring the country´s youth to be passionate and courageous to provide vital services to society.


To this end, I urge all our stakeholders to play their roles collectively in a strong academic standard of this university with their utmost dedication. Together, we will make it as one of the top universities in the world.
