History
Adamjee Government Science College was established in 1961 by the All Pakistan Memon Educational and Welfare Society, with financial assistance from Sir Adamjee Haji Dawood and Abdul Ghani Dada Bhai Junani. The college was inaugurated on 30 July 1961 by the then President of Pakistan, Field Marshal Ayub Khan. It commenced operations with 100 students enrolled in class XI, adding a new class each subsequent year. By 1965, it had developed into a full-fledged degree science college, with more than 200 students at the intermediate level and 45 students at the degree level.
In 1972, the college was nationalised, as part of a wider nationalization of educational institutions undertaken by the government of Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. At the time of nationalisation, the college had 400 intermediate and 100 degree students.
For several decades, Adamjee was widely regarded as one of the leading government colleges in Karachi, regularly producing top performers in the city's Higher Secondary School Certificate examinations. Students from the college secured all three top positions in pre-engineering in 2011, the first position in pre-medical in 2017, and the second and third positions in pre-engineering as well as the third position in computer science in 2018.

The college is located on Shahani Street, off Business Recorder Road in the Garden East neighbourhood of Jamshed Town, near the Gurumandir Roundabout and within a short distance of Mazar-e-Quaid, the mausoleum of Muhammad Ali Jinnah. The campus hosts intermediate and degree-level science teaching departments, including mathematics, physics, chemistry and statistics.
