Universities & colleges

Use HEC and provincial higher-education department lists as the source of truth.

Pakistan’s public university map is uneven. Punjab and Sindh hold the oldest campuses. KP expanded quickly after 2010. Balochistan, AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan have fewer degree-awarding institutions relative to distance. A useful atlas does not invent campus counts; it copies the latest Higher Education Commission recognised list and then adds public degree colleges run by each province.
