About
National Textile University is a public-sector university in Faisalabad, Punjab, recognised by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan.
Textiles are the specialism at National Textile University, linking it directly to Pakistan’s largest export industry.
Location and Address
The institution is located at Sheikhupura Road, Faisalabad.
Degree Programs
This university offers 3 engineering programmes. PEC accreditation is granted to a specific programme at a specific university — a degree accredited elsewhere is not automatically accredited here — so confirm the status of your chosen programme directly with the Pakistan Engineering Council before enrolling.
Admissions
Textile programmes admit on HSSC pre-engineering results plus an entry test. Where a programme is titled as textile *engineering*, PEC accreditation applies and should be confirmed for the specific campus; textile design and technology programmes fall outside PEC’s remit. As a public-sector institution, fees are generally lower than at private institutions, and merit competition is correspondingly higher.
Applying in Punjab
Public-sector engineering admission in Punjab runs through the ECAT administered by UET Lahore, while medical and dental admission uses the national MDCAT. Punjab operates one of the country’s largest public university systems, so applicants typically hold offers from several institutions at once and should compare merit positions before accepting. Public-sector seat allocation includes a domicile component, so where your domicile certificate was issued affects which quota you compete under at National Textile University.
HEC Recognition and Accreditation
National Textile University holds Higher Education Commission recognition. That status confirms the institution is chartered and empowered to award degrees whose attestation the HEC will process. Recognition is institutional, however, and does not by itself confirm that any particular programme is accredited by its professional body. Where a textile programme is titled as engineering, PEC accreditation applies at programme level.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is National Textile University recognized by HEC?
Yes. The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan lists National Textile University as a recognised institution, which means its degrees can be attested by the HEC and are accepted for further study and public-sector employment. Recognition applies to the institution; individual programmes may additionally require accreditation from a professional council.
Is National Textile University private or government?
National Textile University is a public-sector institution. Public institutions generally charge lower fees than private ones because they receive government funding, and admission is correspondingly more competitive on merit.
What entry test is required for admission to National Textile University?
Requirements vary by programme. Most undergraduate intakes are based on HSSC or an equivalent qualification, and many institutions add their own entry test or interview. Confirm the current requirement on the institution's own admissions page, since criteria and closing dates change each cycle.
Does HEC recognition mean every programme at National Textile University is accredited?
No. HEC recognition confirms the institution is chartered to award degrees. Individual programmes in regulated fields need separate accreditation — the Pakistan Engineering Council for engineering, PMDC for medicine and dentistry, the Pakistan Bar Council for law, NCEAC for computing. A programme can sit inside a recognised institution without holding that professional accreditation, so check the specific programme before enrolling.
