Saeed Durrani was educated between the ages of 15 and 22 at Government College Lahore — a premier educational institution that had been founded in 1865. He came fifth out of about 55,000 candidates in a province-wide matriculation exam to gain entry to the College in 1946 and was the top candidate from outside Lahore and the highest-placed Muslim student.
