Under the British Raj Government College was opened on 1 January 1864 in part of the Palace of Raja Dhyan Singh Haveli. The institution was affiliated with the University of Calcutta for examination. Along with the establishment of the college, Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner (professor of Arabicand Islamic Law at King’s College in London) was nominated as principal of college. Later, he was instrumental in founding University of the Punjab, established in 1882. The first class consisted of nine students, all of whom matriculated from the University of Calcutta. In April 1871, the college moved to its present site. Eric C. Dickinson became its Principal. He taught English at the Aligarh Muslim University.

In 1996, it received autonomous status; on 9 September 2002, it became a university.

The Government College University (GCU) is a public research university located near the Civil Secretariat, Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. Its alumni network includes two Nobel laureates Abdus Salam and Har Gobind Khorana, as well as philosopher Muhammad Iqbal, World CourtPresident Muhammad Zafarullah Khan, four prime ministers of Pakistan and several Rhodes Scholars.

It is one of the oldest colleges in Pakistan as well as one of the oldest institutions of higher learning in the Muslim world. It was founded in 1864 as an affiliate college of Calcutta University under the leadership of Gottlieb Wilhelm Leitner,[ a professor at King’s College London. In 1882 it was affiliated with the University of the Punjab. In 2002, it was granted university status by the Government of Pakistan ; the word college is retained in its title for preserving its historical roots.

GCU has grown into one of the largest universities in Lahore with 10,808 students and 376 faculty members with 103 PhDs amongst them offering undergraduate, post-graduate, and doctoral studies with an emphasis on science and arts Its departments of physics and mathematics has international prestige. GCU has four faculties, 29 academic departments and four research institutes.[

The GCU secured its second place in the medium category by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) in 2013. GCU has the highest graduation rate in the country, with an average of 95.5% annually. Alumni of the GCU are called Ravians which is derived word from the name of the student magazine “Ravi“, published by the administration of the college; the magazine name is inspired by the Ravi River. The GCU is noted for its historical roots and attracted notable scholars such as Leitner, Abdus Salam and philosopher Muhammad Iqbal to studied and became alumnus of the GCU.[

    First off I want to say excellent blog! I had a quick question which I’d like to ask
    if you don’t mind. I was curious to know how you center
    yourself and clear your head before writing. I’ve had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my ideas out.
    I do take pleasure in writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or tips?
    Thanks!

    Hey there! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering which
    blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed
    up of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for
    another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.
