History
The establishment of Textile Institute of Pakistan was driven by the needs of Pakistan’s largest industrial sector, the textile industry. This sector not only accounts for about 45% of the country’s export earnings but also provides employment to 39% of the workforce. However, poor managerial efficiencies, low skill levels, and inadequate literacy among the workforce have hindered its full potential.
To address these challenges, an institute was founded in 1994 under the aegis of APTMA, in affiliation with Clemson University. Initially, Clemson University’s faculty developed the course content and syllabi for the Science & Management programs, together with a student exchange program for degree awards. Later in 1999, with the help of University of Manchester Institute of Science & Technology, we started our Design program.
In 2001, we received a degree-awarding charter from the Government of Sindh and gained recognition from the Higher Education Commission (HEC). We have also maintained an educational link with the University of Manchester through the British Council, allowing credits to be transferable. Several students have completed their undergraduate programs at UoM after initial studies, here.
In 2007, we established Pakistan’s first Textile Research & Innovation Centre (TRIC) to promote advanced materials research in technical textiles. Our commitment to the vision, mission, and core values has enabled us to achieve and maintain international academic and research excellence.
The primary objective is to provide professional education and training to young professionals, enhancing their managerial and scientific skills along with necessary theoretical knowledge. Recognizing the textile sector’s importance to Pakistan’s export potential, the Export Promotion Bureau has significantly supported us through the Export Development Fund (EDF).
Since its inception, Textile Institute of Pakistan has significantly served the industry’s needs and is prepared to meet future demands. All our graduates find positions within the industry well before their graduation.
