Mohammad Ali Jinnah University (MAJU) chartered by the Government of Sindh and recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC), was established in 1998. The University was named after three great leaders: Mohammad (PBUH) for moral leadership, Ali (RA) (Baab-ul-Ilm), for knowledge and Jinnah for struggle. The objective in naming the University after Quaid-e-Azam was to offer the highest quality of education, research and patriotism.

Mohammad Ali Jinnah University, unlike other institution which have degree awarding status only, enjoys the privileged status of a comprehensive University. The Charter Inspection and Evaluation Committee of the Government of Sindh has ranked Mohammad Ali Jinnah University as “Very Good” (5 Star).

All graduates of MAJU are getting jobs in reputed organizations or undergoing advanced studies abroad on scholarships.

The purpose of structuring course offerings with a blend of general education, humanities, social sciences and a field of specialization is to develop a balanced personality rather than a mechanistic one with little or no knowledge of the social environment in which one has to work. It also helps students to identify their own areas of interest.

At Mohammad Ali Jinnah University, it is our firm belief that besides class room instructions, our students should also be exposed to real life experiences and situations. In this regard, we invite heads of reputed national and multinational organizations on every Tuesday and Thursday in our biweekly seminars and also in the class rooms. This gives our students an updated knowledge of the various trends in the industry, so that they are well equipped to serve when they enter the practical fields.
