Explanation

The University of the Punjab in Lahore is recognized as the oldest university in Pakistan, founded in 1882 during British rule. It is also the largest public university in the Punjab region, with multiple campuses and a wide range of faculties and research centers. This institution was the first university established in a Muslim-majority area of the Indian subcontinent. Other universities like the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad and Sindh Madressatul Islam University were founded later. Therefore, the University of the Punjab holds the title of the oldest university in Pakistan.
