Directorate of Student Affairs

Kinnaird College for Women, established in 1913, stands as a beacon of women’s empowerment and academic excellence in Pakistan. With over a century of legacy rooted in fostering leadership, critical thinking, and self-expression, Kinnaird has consistently nurtured generations of women to become change makers in society.

Beyond academic rigor, the College champions holistic development through a vibrant culture of student-led clubs and societies. These platforms serve as dynamic spaces for young women to explore their passions, develop essential life skills, and engage in meaningful dialogue. Through active participation in diverse co-curricular activities, ranging from debate and drama to entrepreneurship, science, and sports, students are empowered to find their voice, lead with confidence, and contribute to both national and global progress.
