History
Established in 1963 in a direct response to industrialization as Sind University Engineering College, it was affiliated with Sindh University (est. 1951) at Jamshoro until 1973, when the charter of "Engineering University" was granted under the title of "Mehran University of Engineering & Technology". The first batch of MUET was inducted in January 1974 with enrollment of 450 students in civil, mechanical, electrical, electronics, metallurgy, chemical and industrial engineering.
Initially the classes were started at Government College of Technology, Sakrand Road, Nawabshah, with students residing in college hostels (some class rooms were converted into residential dormitory). Some students acquired private houses in the Society area in Nawabshah, where they lived for two years until newly constructed hostel blocks were made available adjacent to the college campus. Notable residences in the area included Sukkur House, Maruwara Hostel and Arab House (where Jordanian, Palestinian and some other foreign national students stayed).
With the induction of third batch in 1976, the students of the first batch were shifted to Jamshoro to complete their third year and final year of engineering education. This was predominately due to availability of well equipped laboratories and highly qualified faculty at MUET Jamshoro campus, and also due to shortage of space for classrooms and labs at Nawabshah since the number of students had risen to 1500 when the third batch was admitted. The same practice continued for other junior batches who passed their second year of engineering at MUET, Nawabshah and were transferred to MUET Campus at Jamshoro to resume fifth semester (third year).
The school is ranked among the top ten institutions of higher learning in Pakistan by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan (HEC) as of 2013. The university offers undergraduate, post-graduate, and doctoral studies in engineering, business and industrial management, humanities, philosophy, and fine arts. In addition, it is certified as having ISO 9000 compliant business processes. The university is also a member of Association of Commonwealth Universities of the United Kingdom.

MUET SZAB Campus, Khairpur Mir's
Mehran University of Engineering and Technology SZAB Campus(Sindhi: ???????? ? ????????? ?? ????? ????? ??? ???.) informally: Mehran University, is a public university located in Khairpur Mir's. The university offers undergraduate and post-graduate in engineering. The Government of Sindh vide its Notification No. SO(C-IV) SGA&CD/4-29/09 dated 2 April 2009 constituted a High Power Board of Director for establishment of constituent College of Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro named as Mehran University College of Engineering & Technology at Khairpur Mirs.
The campus has been upgraded from college to campus and renamed as Mehran University of Engineering and Technology Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Campus. The campus is offering education in four disciplines of civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering,software engineering,electronics engineering, and petroleum & natural gas engineering. Being a campus of Mehran University of Engineering & Technology, the campus has the same teachings system, courses of studies, rules and procedures for admissions and examination system as the Mehran University contains. The campus is headed by Pro-VC who will work under the administrative control of Mehran University of Engineering and Technology, Jamshoro. The number of students admitted to the First Year classes in all four under-graduate disciplines viz. civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering and petroleum & natural gas engineering is 240 (160 under Regular Scheme and 80 under Self Financing Scheme).
ISO Audit
On April 28, an independent audit by a team of International Organization for Standardization 9001:2008 found glaring omissions in the MUET examination controller's department. These include lack of clarity of the authorities' matrix as to who is authorised for what; lack of secrecy in department's security where the doors were found open; manual, handwritten ledgers that have yet to be computerised and untrained coordinators for ISO.
