National Fertilizer Corporation Institute of Engineering and Technology Multan (NFC-IET) is a federally recognized public sector institution located in Multan, Pakistan. NFC-IET offers undergraduate programs in engineering, science, and technology, providing a highly competitive educational environment with exceptional faculty. It is regarded as one of the top engineering education institutions in Pakistan.

NFC-IET offers exceptional engineering sciences and related study programs with a modern and up-to-date curriculum. The university provides BS and BSc degrees in various fields, including Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Environmental Engineering, Biotechnology, Computer Science, and Business Administration.

HISTORY

To overcome the shortage of skilled manpower at the National Fertilizer Corporation, especially in the chemical process industry, the authorities established a Training Center in 1985 with technical assistance from M/s. COSMO International Co., Ltd., Japan.

The Center provides training to engineers, supervisors, operators, technicians, and administrative staff through modern, multi-dimensional programs. These programs feature a comprehensive and up-to-date structure, offering flexible content and duration to address all aspects of process and engineering.

The training program was later upgraded to align with the education policy set by the Government of Pakistan. With approval from the Ministry of Industries & Production, Government of Pakistan, NFC expanded its training center in 1994 by introducing graduate engineering classes in Chemical Engineering, renaming it the NFC Institute of Engineering & Technological Training.

Continuing its progress, the institute introduced two additional programs—Electronics Engineering and Computer System Engineering—in 2001. Later, the institution launched a four-year BS program in Computer Science in 2008, followed by a four-year BS program in Environmental Sciences in 2011.

Subsequently, NFC IET introduced degree programs under the administration of Baha Uddin Zakariya University (BZU), Multan, and secured accreditation from the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC).

Consequently, the government granted NFC Institute of Engineering and Technology the status of a Federal Degree-Awarding Institute in 2012 and appointed Prof. Dr. Malik Akhtar Ali Kalrou as its first Vice Chancellor. Since then, NFC IET has continuously introduced new programs.

In 2013, programs in Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Architecture Design were launched. Additionally, in 2016, NFC IET introduced research-based postgraduate programs in Chemical Process Engineering and Electrical Power Engineering.
