With a view to enhance facilities for higher education and research in the state of Azad Jammu & Kashmir and the adjoining areas, in the field of Science & Technology, Presidential Ordinance No. To start with, three entities of The University of Azad Jammu & Kashmir, namely, Ali Ahmed Shah University College of Engineering & Technology, The University College of Home Economics and the Institute of

Meritorious services rendered by these institutions are laudable. The students having been bestowed upon degrees in their respective disciplines, mentioned above, are enthusiastically serving the nation, and the humanity at large, at home and abroad. The new status heralds a new sign of revolutionary uplift of education. Evidently, there are certain requirements, rather pressing ones; first and foremost is that of land.

The calm and peaceful environment is conducive to academic and research activities. The new university with the name of MUST is really a beginning of new era in terms of imparting quality education. Ours is an auspicious transformation from smaller to bigger, from lower to higher and from better to the best in the real sense of the term. Our qualified staff is devoted to the very cause of sublimity and perfection. The veteran staff, embodiment of professionalism, is involved in class work along with research and other scholarly activities. Living in this age of marvelous scientific and technological achievements, advancements in these fields are intrinsically of paramount importance. The University started functioning with the infrastructure facilities already available at Ali Ahmed Shah University College of Engineering & Technology Mirpur, The Faculty of Home Economics and Institute of Islamic Studies, situated right in the heart of the city. The University shall be shifted to its new location; a picturesque spot Sainse, 15 kilometers away from the city on the main Mirpur-Bhimber road. Mirpur University of Science & Technology (MUST) Mirpur A.K differs in its character from AJ&K University Muzaffarabad by its high powered body “Senate”; a body with full integrity of formulating statutes, rules and regulations, purchasing, maintaining and disposing of moveable and immoveable property, creation and abolition of posts and maintenance of academic and administrative disciplines. Such a body is non-existent in AJ&K University. Our new born university MUST is endeavouring its best to take up the challenges of the day and come up to the national expectations and aspirations. We are equipping our laboratories with modern apparatus so that we may be able to quench the thirst of our students for knowledge. The MUST is determined to produce such graduates as to prove the grist to the mill of the nation. Enhancement of standard is our pivotal goal and we are doing our best to make the MUST worthy by all standards. It will touch the bliss of eminence in a short span of time.
