The Department of Geology was opened in 1951 offering a geology course at the F.Sc. level. It was discontinued in 1953 after the completion of only one batch of students. In 1952 the Punjab University opened an independent Department of Mineralogy under a UNESCO-Pakistan Government collaboration program. In January 1954, the department was reconstituted as the Department of Geology and Mineralogy. Later, in 1979 the Department was elevated to the status of an Institute.
