Pakistan Navy established Bahria Institute at Islamabad and Karachi in the late eighties. These Institutes were aimed at providing quality and uninterrupted education up to Intermediate level, to the children of naval personnel on their transfer from one station to another and in turn to contribute to the cause of promotion of education at the national level.

These programs have since been upgraded to BBA (Hons), BCS (Hons) and MBA, MCS Programs which were introduced
