History

In 1998, the former Institute of Physics and Technology which existed since 1979 was bifurcated, giving birth to the Institute of Information and Technology (IIT), which was among the first few institutes of the Pakistan of its kind offering a 4-year 8-semester undergraduate program in Software Engineering. Over time it has undergone a number of revamps and currently Department of Software Engineering is one of the constituent departments of the recently established Faculty of Engineering and Technology which offers a 4-year 8-semester undergraduate program in BS Software Engineering.

Software Engineering Program (Accreditation)

BS Software Engineering program is offered in Morning as well as in Evening shift and has been accredited with the National Computing Education Accreditation Council (NCEAC), an authority setup by Higher Education Commission (HEC) Pakistan to ensure quality in degree programs to meet certain defined standards or criteria that are accepted worldwide.
