About PIEAS
Pakistan's nuclear and engineering powerhouse. Located in the serene Nilore valley, it is an elite, research-focused institution famous for its affiliation with the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and its high-paying fellowship programs.
Founded in 1967 as the Reactor School, it was upgraded to PIEAS in 2000. It is the primary human resource development center for Pakistan's nuclear energy program. Unlike regular universities, it maintains a very low student-to-faculty ratio and 100% employability for its fellowship graduates.
