The college was shifted to its present location in 1982 and commissioned as PNS JAUHAR as an independent unit of Pakistan Navy. It became a constituent college of National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) in November 1995.
The primary role of PN Engineering College is to produce Quality Engineers for Pakistan Navy and NUST. To achieve this, it conducts degree courses in the disciplines of Mechanical, Electrical,Electronics and Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering, and MS/PhD degree courses in the disciplines of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering. These courses are also availed by other Defense Services and brotherly countries. Since 1987, civilian students are also being enrolled in these courses each year. Apart from BE and MS/PhD degree courses, the college also provides specialized mid career courses for PN technical officers after they have obtained competency certificate onboard PN Ships.
