The Superior Group of Colleges (SGC), founded in 2000, is more than just an educational institution—it’s a place where dreams take shape. It’s not just about textbooks and exams; it’s about shaping personalities, teaching students to think, speak, and lead with confidence. SGC believes in creating "superior human beings"—individuals who don’t just succeed for themselves but also make a difference in the world around them. With a growing network of campuses across Pakistan, SGC continues to empower thousands of students every year, helping them unlock their true potential and step into the future with pride.
Dr. Chaudhry Abdul Rehman, the founder and chairman of The Superior Group and Superior University Lahore, isn’t just a leader—he’s a visionary whose heart beats for the future of education in Pakistan. His passion for teaching and shaping the next generation goes beyond books and lectures. With a focus on innovation, Dr. Rehman has brought pioneering initiatives like Aviation Technology and Entrepreneurship to the forefront. Under his leadership, The Superior Group has flourished, leading the way with a strong sense of business excellence and education. His vision is simple yet profound: Empowering students to not only succeed but to make a lasting impact on the world around them.
Behind every great leader, there’s often an equally incredible partner, and for Dr. Chaudhry Abdul Rehman, that person is none other than Sumera Rehman. More than just a name, she’s a powerhouse in the world of education, serving as the Rector of The Superior College. Together, they are more than just a couple—they are a team, shaping the future of education in Pakistan. While Dr. Rehman brings his visionary leadership, Sumera Rehman stands beside him, offering unwavering support and contributing her own expertise. Their journey isn’t just about professional success; it’s about building something bigger than themselves—an institution that transforms lives. Their story is a testament to the power of partnership, love, and a shared dream of an educated, empowered nation.
