The present premises of our Association were acquired through the efforts of the Senior Aligarians. Being a precious peace of land, the builders mafia had an eye on it. Eventually they succeeded in getting a requisition order issued by the Deputy Commissioner. It was served on one Saturday evening, so that the Association could not get a stay-order from the courts, being closed on Sunday. The Plan was take over the possession of the Land on Monday morning. However , this evil design was foiled by the President (Engr. Z. A. Nizami) of the Association, who got a stay-order issued by the Judge on Sunday at his house, through his personal contact and influence. His next achievement was to get the requisition order withdrawn by the Governor of Sindh inspite of persistent efforts of the Builders Mafia. To foil their further design, the Association has decided to construct a building named SIR SYED TOWER for the advancement of the aims and objectives of the Association. The president and the Honorary General Secretary (Engr. Muhammad Zakir Ali Khan) are working day and night to get all the legal and bureaucratic impediments removed for early launching of the project. The Plan is almost ready. Various options for funding the project are under consideration of the experts. The President is utilizing his experience and personal influence to get all the impediments removed for the early start of its construction.

The desire of the Aligarians to establish an educational Institution for continuation of Aligarh Spirit was always nearest to their hearts. As a first step, 8 Acres of precious land was allotted to the Association, through the good offices of the President. He stood personal guarantee for the loan taken from the bank to pay the cost of this land.

The next break through came when the good offices of the President and a senior member of the Executive Committee, a philanthropist named Yunus Shah Khan agreed to build & donate the present A & B Blocks for the start of Aligarh Institute of Technology. Sunday Bazaar and other encroachment were got vacated from the land. Seizing this opportunity the President managed to work out a feasibility report for the start of an engineering University and got it approved by the then Education Commission. The cherished desire of the Aligarians was fulfilled when the Governor of Sindh granted the Charter for establishment of Sir Syed University in 1993. Without any further delay the University classes were started in the AIT premises. These efforts were constitutionalized when the Sir Syed University Act 1995 was unanimously passed by the Sindh Assembly. Starting from our Computer Laboratory and 40 students, this slaping has now grown into a magnificent tree.

The University is now spread over 8 Blocks having 44 class rooms , 16 Laboratories an Auditorium and an modern Library. These are fully air conditioned. All the labs are equipped with latest state of the Art Equipment. Our Computer Labs are the biggest amongst all the Universities of the country having 850 Nos. of Computers. The Library consists of 52 thousands of books and periodicals. The University has the distinction of starting Bio-Medical Engineering graduate's courses for the first time in Pakistan. So far, in all the four technologies (Computer, Electronics, Bio-Medical, and Civil) 4585 Nos. have already graduated and 45 Nos. got Master Degrees. At Present 3579 students are studying in graduate classes whereas 336 Nos. are completing Masters Degrees. Islamiat and Pakistan Studies are a part of the curriculum. Student's co-curricular activities are fully supported for an all round development of their personalities. Our students have won prizes in several inter university competitions by winning a PTV quiz of Quaid and our students were given the title of BRAIN OF PAKISTAN. Similarly our sports team have brought laurels in Cricket, Hockey. Basket Ball competitions. A sports ground, 10 Acres just opposite the premises of SSUET was taken-over where most of the team practice. The University has the distinction of moulding average students into proficient engineers who are readily absorbed in reputed multinational organizations . So far there has been no law and order situation or disturbance in the academic atmosphere of the University.

In the true Aligarians Spirit, it is ensured through Scholarships that no student is deprived of higher education because of financial constraints.

Sir Syed University is amongst only a few universities of Pakistan which meets the standards laid down by Higher Education Commission of Pakistan. At the International Level of the University enjoys the full membership of Association of Commonwealth Universities (ACU) and International Associatiom of Universities (IAU).

Through prudent financial management, the University has developed a sound financial base. The total assets of the University are now worth Rs. 1648 million. The 2006-2007 budget of the University is worth Rs. 423.896 million with a surplus of 10.48 million duly approved by the Board of Governors. An endowment fund worth Rs. 26 Crores has also been created for future development of the University.

Keeping in view the cherished desire of the Aligarians to establish a Residential University like Aligarh, the Chancellor has succeeded in acquring 200 Acres of Land in the Education City being developed by Government of Sindh. Through his influence and personal efforts Rs. 30 Crores have been saved in its purchase. Steps have been taken to save it from encroachers. The conceptual planning is in progress and the same will be placed before the General Body for approval.

First Educational Institute established by AMUOBA. According to the Charter of Sir Syed University of Engineering & Technology (SSUET), Aligarh Institute of Technology (AIT) shall stand affiliated to the University and shall continue as such. How ever this, institute was established in 1989 and it is located adjacent to Sir Syed University of Engineering & Technology (SSUET). It is imparting B.S. Degree in Computer Science duly affiliated from SSUET. A regards Diploma courses of Associate Engineers the same are being studied in Electronics Technology, Computer Information Technology, Electrical Technology, Biomedical Technology, duly registered with Sindh Board of Technical Education and Directorate of Technical Education, Sindh. The Number of Student who qualified diploma courses in different Technologies till 2005 are 4885 and 313 in degree course of BS (CS). At present number of students studying in Degree and Diploma courses are 258 and 1034 respectively.

A Career Planning and Placement Bureau was established , after graduation of first batch for guiding students in procurement of befitting jobs after getting degrees in respective technologies.Similar action is taken in respect of diploma holders from AIT.

The Bureau remains in regular contact with Industry and Employees. Programmes are arranged with Employees and C.V.s of the students are sent directly to them. The bureau provides counseling and guidance to the students and their projects collaboration with Professional bodies. It also arranges Industrial Tours, Internships, Seminars, Workshops and Exhibitions.

About Fifty (50 Nos.) publications were arranged by AMUOBA & SSUET concerning the history of Aligarh Movement, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan and his lieutenants. For the first time three volume a Directory A to Z of Aligarh Alumni of last 100 years was compiled and it is becoming very popular. The monthly magazine"Tehzeeb" is very much liked in the literary circles.

The most significant result is the existance of a very active seismic region in Murray Ridge area, 100-200 Kms southwest of Karachi in North Arabian Sea, where earthquakes frequency and intensity is on the increase. It can be real threat for Karachi if a major earthquake generation Tsunami occurs in the region. Without a Warning System and proper "awareness" and "remedial measures" for the inhabitants, the loss of life along the coastal region of Karachi and adjacent islands may run into millions. As urgent need was therefore felt to initiate action for the development and installation of a warning system along Karachi Coastal Belt.

SSUET therefore, arranged a Seminar on September 15, 2005 on "Disaster Preparedness and Development of a Warning System for Coastal Region of Pakistan" wherein experts in the field presented theory papers. The brief of these papers alongwith necessary recommendation were sent to all concerned agencies in general and the Government in particular in understanding the importance and necessity for installation of Disaster Warning Syestem along Coatal Area of the Country.
