KINPOE is affiliated with Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences for the award of Master of Science degree in Nuclear Power, previously it was affiliated with NED University of Engineering and Technology Karachi to award Master of Engineering Degree in Nuclear Power Engineering.

Initially, KINPOE functioned as the Karachi Nuclear Power Training Centre (KNPTC). For the first two decades, KNPTC organized one-year post-graduate training program for engineers & technicians essentially for the operation and maintenance of KANUPP. The academic programs of KNPTC underwent many revisions to increase emphasis on developing better analytical and design skills.
