Spread Over 1200 acres of land, University of Karachi was established through the parliament as a Federal University in 1951.

On 23rd October, 1950 the Karachi University Act was passed and after an amendment in 1951, it was enacted and Prof A. B. A Haleem was appointed as its first Vice Chancellor.
