Multan is not only famous as the most ancient city of South Asia but also skills of its artisan & craftsman in the sector of pottery, textile, leather, embroidery products etc. On the top of the above Multan is also at the heart of cotton growing area. Cotton is raw material for Textile products which is also synonym to white gold that indeed is back bone of the economy of Pakistan and contributes more than 60% of overall exports. In order to develop and provide professionally trained textile engineers, managers and researchers according to the modern needs of the most important industry, Bahauddin Zakariya University, Multan, took over the then IHHTT established by the joint venture of Export Promotion Bureau Government of Pakistan and Multan Textile Education Trust, Multan, in August 2004 as a constituent College of Textile Engineering and Technology.

The University started classes of B.Sc. Textile Engineering with 50 students in the four specializations of Textile Engineering viz., Yarn Manufacturing, Fabric Manufacturing, Wet Processing and Garment Manufacturing. As the then institute was offering Three Year Diploma of Associate Engineer (DAE) in Textile Technology under Annual System with PBTE before taken over by the University, Bahauddin Zakariya University continued offering Diploma but converted it in to Semester System with the nomenclature of Three Year Diploma in Spinning, Weaving and Wet Processing under Semester System from 2005. The college also offers short courses and on job trainings to the people from local textile industry.
