Founded 1962 (chartered as Nangarhar University, beginning with the Faculty of Medicine in 1962 — Afghanistan's second oldest university after Kabul). Afghanistan's second oldest university (after Kabul), located in Jalalabad — the capital of Nangarhar Province in eastern Afghanistan near the Pakistan (Khyber Pass) border. Chartered 1962 with the Faculty of Medicine. Today comprises 16+ faculties including Medicine (the founding faculty), Engineering, Agriculture, Computer Science, Education, Islamic Studies, Veterinary Sciences, Law, Pharmacy, and others. Pashto-cultural orientation given Nangarhar's largely Pashtun population. Important regional university for eastern Afghanistan and cross-border Pashtun cultural-linguistic sphere.
