About GCU
The alma mater of Allama Iqbal and two Nobel Laureates. Famous for its Gothic-style Main Tower, the 'Ravians' spirit, and its dominance in literature, arts, and debating.
Established in 1864, GCU is one of the oldest seats of learning in the Muslim world. It transitioned from a college to a university in 2002 but retains its historic culture. It has produced more renowned alumni (Poets, PMs, Scientists) than any other institute in Pakistan.
