The University of Engineering and Technology Mardan (UET Mardan) is a public-sector engineering university in Mardan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It began life as the Mardan campus of UET Peshawar and was later chartered by the provincial government as an independent university; the campus sits on the Charsadda Road side of the city.

Its engineering degrees are offered under Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) rules, which is why an ETEA score is compulsory for every BSc Engineering seat.

Why Students Choose UET Mardan

Students from Mardan, Swabi, Charsadda and the surrounding districts choose UET Mardan because it offers PEC-accredited engineering degrees close to home, with open-merit fees well below private engineering colleges. The smaller size also means more direct contact with faculty than at the larger UET Peshawar. Compare it with UET Peshawar before finalising your ETEA preference list.
