The bill was presented by Federal Minister for Education and Professional Training Shafqat Mahmood. The bill seeking the establishment of the Federal University in Hyderabad passed from National Assembly and was sent to the Senate of Pakistan.

On November 17, the government passed the bill from the joint session.

It is pertinent to mention here that Prime Minister Imran Khan in 2019 had performed the groundbreaking of Hyderabad University during a ceremony held in Islamabad.

Once it is up and running, HITMS will be Hyderabad’s second public university after the century-old Government College Kali Mori, which is also being upgraded.
