The University of Balochistan was established in June-1970 through an Ordinance issued by the then Governor Balochistan. In June 1996, the Balochistan Assembly passed an ACT called the University of Balochistan ACT 1996. Thus the University of Balochistan became the sole general University of the Province imparting Higher Education to the entire population of the province in Science, Arts and Humanities.
The University initially started with three departments i.e. Physics, Chemistry and Geology. With the passage of time, we have now 34 departments, Two Institutes (Institute of Management Sciences and Institute of Bio-Chemistry) and five specialized centers (Center of Excellence in Mineralogy, Pakistan Study Center, Area Study Center, Balochistan Study Center, Center for Advance Studies in Vaccinology and Bio-Technology) of higher studies and research, one constituent Law College and 88 affiliated colleges including an Agriculture College, Bolan Medical College and the Command and Staff College, Quetta.
Four year Bs program has only been started in the Department of Geology, Computer Science, Micro-Biology and Education. In almost all the remaining teaching department Master program is being pursued. The current enrolment is over 6,000 in 41 degree (7 undergraduate and 35 graduate) programs.
To be a model public University providing affordable, quality, higher education opportunities to develop the potentially rich human resource in Balochistan through knowledge centered teaching and research while maintaining and fostering high levels of ethical and professional standards and promoting national identity.

Through HEC, we conducted a 3 day workshop on 'How to write a Research Proposal' to our recently selected scholars of the AHBP program @ the University of Balochistan, Quetta b/w 27 - 29 Nov. 2017. What a wonderful place with very hospitable people.
Due to the current security issues, generally people from other provinces and cities are afraid to go here. Surprisingly, this is the only university in Pakistan where a train passes through the university premises :)

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character - that is the goal of true education.

As a student with a different background and a different race, my experience when I visited this school was great. All the students were really nice to me. I would definitely go and attend that school.

I joined University of Balochistan in 2009 and remained there for two years to complete my master degree in political science. These two years were wonderful years of my life and I had wonderful experience of learning a lot from teachers like Dr. Nadir Bakht, Syed Amir Shah, Asadullah Baloch, Qadir Bareech and others. They all were good to me. But,still I think the University needs a lot to improve in many fields. The administration is entirely carried on the manual system which allows much room for corruption, red-tapism and tension for the students. All the systems need to be digitialised right from the form submission for examinations to the issuance of results, DMCs and degrees. The website of University is outdated and needs to be renovated. The cental library is not maintained well and is under the occupation of some ignorant people, having little know-how of the value of library. The faculties are also infested with political recruitments who are draining University's budget for no return. Discipline, research and other University-like traits are not known to the varsity. It simply resembles a school not a University. I often used the term, 'an entertainment park' for university where couples come for dating but thirsty souls for knowledge learn too little. The interference of the political parties, security agencies and all others have marred the charm of the university. It needs reforms on large scale in all the fields. Currently it is not performing up to the mark and is held hostage by various self-serving and corrupt lobbies.
