"The process of learning and achievement of excellence is a legacy of our glorious past. The chronicles of history bear witness to the fact that our predecessors pioneered and made gigantic leaps in various branches of sciences. We, therefore, are custodians of a trust vested in us. The turn of events and transgression from destined path have tilted the scales against us. At this point of time, vision with unflinching faith in our cause should be the guiding principle to turn the wheel and arrest further degradation of our potentials. A big task lies ahead to revive and restore the ascendancy of our predecessors to its rightful place in today's modern world. Let us join hands to carry this noble mission to conclusive end under the banner of University of Engineering & Technology, Lahore."
To generate knowledge for global competitive advantage and become a leading world class research University. To play a leading role as a University of Engineering and Technology in teaching, research, innovation and commercialization that is internationally relevant and has a direct bearing on national industrial, technological and socio-economic development.
The university aspires to be the regional leader and wishes to improve its ranking from top 300 Engineering Universities of the world to top 100 universities of the world.
The University of Engineering and Technology (main) located in the northern part of Lahore on the historical "Grand Trunk Road (G.T. Road)", near the magnificent Shalimar Gardens built during the great Mughal Empire.
The institution started its career in 1921 as the ‘ Mughalpura Technical College ’. Later it became the ‘Maclagan Engineering College’, a name given to it in 1923 when Sir Edwards Maclagan, the then Governor of the Punjab who laid the foundation stone of the main building, now called the Main Block, which still retains its majesty despite the wear and tear of over eight decades. At that stage the institution offered courses of study in only two disciplines; Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering.
In the year 1932, the institution was affiliated with the University of the Punjab for award of a Bachelor's Degree in Engineering. In 1947, at the time of independence, the Institution was offering well-established B.Sc. Degree Courses in Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering.
In 1954 it started a Bachelor's Degree course in Mining Engineering, the first-ever of its kind in the country. However, the real expansion and development of the institution commenced in 1962 on its transformation into the ‘West Pakistan University of Engineering & Technology’, and within a few years Bachelor's Degree Courses were started in Chemical Engineering, Petroleum & Gas Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Architecture, and City & Regional Planning.
Later, the University started to develop its postgraduate programs, and by 1970's it was offering Master's Degree Courses in various specializations of engineering, architecture, planning and allied disciplines. Later, Ph.D. Degree Program was also instituted in a number of disciplines.Later on renamed University of Engineering & Technology in 1972.With phenomenal increase in students enrollment in seventies, the University established an Engineering College at Taxila in 1975, which later became an independent University in 1998 as the University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila.
Keeping in view the upcoming power crises situation in the country, in 2004 the University established its own Power Generation Unit with capacity of 2 Mega Watts later enhanced to 3 Mega Watts and became first and only countrywide educational institution who has its own Power Generation Unit.
To meet the growing demands for the Engineering graduates and allied disciplines in the country, the University started an expansion program in the new millennium. Consequently the teaching and research capacity of the UET-Main was enhanced and the establishment of the satellite campuses was taken up. At present, the University has three satellite campuses; the Faisalabad Campus, the Kala-Shah-Kaku Campus, and the Rachna College .

Its high ranked engineering university of Pakistan and have latest labs and research centres in it. This university has very high marret to get admissions. But this university also offer executive classes in evening but they charge bit high as compared to morning classes these executive classes considered as private. Any ways this is good university and Pakistan needs many more institutes like this to make its nation good.
