The Quaid e Awam University of Engineering, Sciences & Technology often referred as ‘QUEST’ is a public research university located in the urban neighborhood of Nawabshah, Sindh, Pakistan. The Sindh University Engineering college Jamshoro was established in 1963 as a constituent college of the University of Sindh to provide adequate opportunity of engineering education to the people belonging to the interior of Sindh Province. According to the education policy of 1972, the government decided to upgrade the college to the level of University of Engineering & Technology after shifting it to Nawabshah. In 1977, the Provincial Assembly of Sindh passed an Act and named the institution as Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Nawabshah. In 1996 it was renamed as Quaid-e-Awam University of Engineering, Science and Technology (QUEST), Nawabshah. It is amongest the best engineering universities in Pakistan. The university is honored after the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Zulfikar Ali Bhutto.
QUEST is situated just outside the city of Nawabshah near airport and is spread over an area of 457 acres on both sides of the main Sakrand Road. Presently, it consists of three academic sectors. Sector-A houses the departments of Electrical Engineering, Computer Systems Engineering, Information Technology and Computer Science. Sector B houses the departments of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Basic Sciences & Related Studies, and Mathematics & Statistics. All the laboratories of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Workshops are located at Sector-C.
