History
The University of Rasul was founded in 1873 in Lahore as a school of surveying established at the Oriental College, Lahore. It was moved to National College of Arts, Lahore in 1885. In 1906, it was renamed as Punjab School of Engineering and in 1912, it was moved to its current location and again renamed as Government School of Engineering.[1][2]
In 1962, it was once again renamed as Government Polytechnic Institute (GPI). Later, the institute was upgraded to Government College of Technology (GCT) in 1974. In 2018, the Government of the Punjab upgraded the college to a full-fledged university.[3][4]
