Mirpur District of Azad Jammu and Kashmir Pakistan is also referred to as 'Little Britain' by the expatriate community. The city is situated at 459 meters above sea-level and is linked with the main Peshawar-Lahore Grand Trunk road at Dina Tehsil. Mirpur is the cultural & financial heart of the Mirpur division which includes the districts of Bhimber, Mirpur & Kotli. It is the largest centre of Azad Jammu and Kashmir for business and provides a major part of the income to the region primarily due to expatriates. As Mirpur adjoins the industrial cities of Pakistan, the Government of Azad Jammu & Kashmir has successfully endeavoured to develop it as an industrial place and to promote private investment for establishing different industrial units e.g. Foam, Polypropylene, Synthetic yarn, Motorbikes, Textile, vegetable ghee, logging and sawmills, soap, cosmetics, marble, ready-made garments etc. However, much of the infrastructure still needs further development in order to compete on a national level. As part of the relief/compensation package in the wake of Mangla Dam Raising Project, a New City is being developed along the southeastern outskirts of Mirpur. Four towns in the district have been planned besides the new city, to resettle the population affected by the project.
In the city of Mirpur there was no established institution to impart quality education in the field of Commerce, Science and Technology. In view of the above mentioned scenario, the management of Punjab Colleges established its campus at Mirpur at Kotli Road. The college is housed in a spacious building. The class rooms are air-conditioned. The laboratories are well-equipped to adequately strengthen the practical skills of our students. For providing a comprehensive knowledge and concept-based learning in Math and Science subjects, usage of three dimensional animations is our regular feature. The college library is well stocked to develop the reading habits of the growing minds. The faculty is highly qualified and experienced to meet the latest challenges. The college is affiliated with the Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Mirpur.
