A new state-of-the-art university campus has officially opened in Turbat, Balochistan, providing higher education access to thousands of students from one of Pakistan’s most underserved regions. The campus is a satellite facility of a federal university and offers programmes in engineering, computer science, business administration, and natural sciences.

The establishment of the campus addresses a longstanding gap in higher education infrastructure in Balochistan, where the student-to-university ratio has historically been among the lowest in the country. Local students will now be able to pursue degree programmes without relocating to major cities.

The campus features modern laboratories, a digital library, student hostels, and scholarship programmes specifically designed for students from low-income families in the province. Female enrolment has been prioritised through dedicated facilities and outreach programmes in surrounding communities.

Education officials noted that expanding access to quality higher education in Balochistan is critical for the province’s long-term development and will support the human capital needs of CPEC-related projects in the region.
