The University of Sialkot (USKT) traces its origins to 2013, when it was established as a sub-campus of the University of Gujrat under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. This initiative laid the groundwork for creating a transformative academic institution committed to fostering intellectual and professional growth at a wider scale.
In 2018, a significant milestone was achieved when the sub-campus transitioned into a full-fledged private university under the University of Sialkot Act (IX) of 2018. This transition marked the emergence of USKT as a leading academic institution, offering diverse academic disciplines and advancing opportunities in higher education.
The university’s evolution is intricately tied to Sialkot’s cultural and industrial significance. Known for its innovation, creativity, and as the birthplace of the great poet-philosopher Muhammad Iqbal, Sialkot provided a fertile environment for USKT to flourish. The university’s development complements the city’s dynamic character, serving as an educational beacon for students and professionals from across the country and beyond.
A Legacy of Commitment
Throughout its journey, the University of Sialkot has upheld its foundational vision while continuously adapting to meet the educational and professional aspirations of individuals from diverse backgrounds. From its inception as a sub-campus to its establishment as an independent university, USKT has remained dedicated to promoting ethics, tolerance, and intellectual growth. By embracing its historical roots and investing in excellence, the university has strengthened its legacy as a transformative institution, striving to shape the future of higher education nationally and globally.
