Karachi: The Karachi Institute of Economics and Technology will hold its 23rd convocation ceremony on April 20, 2026, at the Expo Centre Karachi. The Governor of Sindh, Nehal Hashmi, will attend the event as the chief guest. Approximately 700 graduates from various disciplines will be awarded their degrees during the ceremony. Students demonstrating outstanding academic performance will receive gold and silver medals from the governor. The event is scheduled to begin at 6:00 PM. Attendance will require an original national identity card and invitation, while children under the age of 12 will not be permitted. The announcement was made during a press conference held at the Karachi Press Club by KIET President Prof. Dr Muhammad Khalid Khan, Pro Chancellor Dr Yousuf Zaidi, Chief Legal Advisor Barrister Shaher Hassan, and Director Quality Assurance Prof. Dr Sajida Parveen. Speaking on the occasion, Prof. Dr Muhammad Khalid Khan stated that KIET’s mission extends beyond education to fostering positive and lasting societal change. He emphasized the institute’s commitment to providing inclusive quality education, particularly to students who may not have access to large universities. Over the past 25 years, KIET has produced more than 14,000 graduates who are contributing to Pakistan’s economy and society, as well as holding key positions in organizations worldwide. He highlighted that KIET students have earned international recognition, particularly in programming competitions such as the International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC). The institute has also secured over Rs200 million in competitive research funding and established partnerships with various national and international organizations. More than 60 research papers by KIET faculty have been published in international journals this year alone. Dr. Khan added that KIET, as a technology-focused university, prioritizes fields such as computer science, data science, and cybersecurity. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the institute maintained high-quality digital education and contributed to national initiatives like the National Centre for Artificial Intelligence. Pro Chancellor Dr Yousuf Zaidi noted that KIET continues to uphold high standards in higher education. He referenced the newly established principal campus at Ahsanabad on the Super Highway, equipped with state-of-the-art academic facilities. He said around 700 graduates will enter various industries this year, contributing their skills and knowledge. Barrister Shaher Hassan announced the launch of a new academic initiative in Karachi, including plans for a modern campus in a central location. The campus will primarily offer programs in computer science and other advanced scientific fields. He confirmed that the project has received formal approval from the Higher Education Commission, whose support has been instrumental. He added that the new campus aims to promote quality education and create new opportunities for students. Further details will be shared upon completion of construction and arrangements. The KIET administration expressed confidence in continued growth and reaffirmed its commitment to enhancing educational standards and preparing students to meet future challenges.

A towering academic figure, an exemplary teacher, and one of the most respected mathematicians associated with Karachi Institute of Economics and Technology. He passed away on Sunday, leaving behind a legacy that spans generations of students, scholars, and educators.

Prof. Dr. Muhammad Amin was not merely a faculty member; he was an institution within the institution. His association with KIET remained steadfast for decades, making him one of the longest-serving employees in the university’s history. Remarkably, he continued teaching well into his nineties, remaining academically active until the age of 92 — a rare and inspiring testament to his devotion to knowledge and education.

Born on 16 October 1926 in Sialkot, Dr. Muhammad Amin rose from modest beginnings to become a scholar of international repute. He earned his PhD in Mathematical Analysis of Nuclear Reactors in 1962 from Imperial College / University of London, at a time when doctoral-level research opportunities were extremely rare for Pakistanis. He also completed the prestigious Diploma of Imperial College (DIC) and undertook specialized nuclear reactor design training at the UK Atomic Energy Establishment, Winfrith, where he worked on IBM-based reactor computations.

Dr. Amin devoted more than seven decades to teaching and academic leadership, serving at leading institutions including UET Lahore, PAF College of Aeronautical Engineering, PN Engineering College, Usman Institute of Technology, and ultimately Karachi Institute of Economics and Technology. At KIET, he served as Professor of Mathematics and Head / Director, College of Humanities & Sciences, Acting Dean Academics and remained academically active until the age of 92, making him one of the institute’s longest-serving faculty members.
His research contributions spanned nuclear reactor lattices, neutron kinetics, quantum mechanics, and applied mathematics, with publications in international technical reports and peer-reviewed journals in both the UK and Pakistan. His work placed him among the foundational contributors to Pakistan’s nuclear-mathematical knowledge base.

As a Group Captain of the Pakistan Air Force, his services to education, engineering, and national capacity-building were formally recognized with the Tamgha-e-Imtiaz (Military).

Remembered as disciplined, humble, intellectually rigorous, and deeply principled, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Amin shaped generations of engineers, scientists, and educators. His passing marks the end of an era, but his legacy will endure through the institutions he strengthened and the minds he trained.
