GHULAM ISHAQ KHAN INSTITUTE of Engineering Sciences and Technology UNDERGRADUATE PROSPECTUS 2018 VISION The Institute aspires for the leadership role in pursuit of excellence in engineering, sciences and technology. MISSION The Institute is to provide excellent teaching and research environment to produce graduates who distinguish themselves by their professional competence, research, entrepreneurship, humanistic outlook, ethical rectitude, pragmatic approach to problem solving, managerial skills and ability to respond to the challenge of socio economic development to serve as the vanguard of techno-industrial transformation of the society The Founder The GIK Institute is as dear to me as a child to his parents. It gives me pleasure to see that the sapling we planted in 1993 is now a flowering tree providing its cool shade to seekers of knowledge. Ghulam Ishaq Khan From the Rector This year the Ghulam Ishaq Khan (GIK) Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology will complete 25 years of its existence. The Institute will be celebrating, along with its alumni and friends, this Silver Jubilee in the latter half of 2018. That is not a long time in the life of a university yet, the Institute has established itself, right from its inception, as one of the leading institutions of higher learning in Pakistan, a position it has maintained over the years. The credit for that goes to the illustrious personalities who established the Institute, and many more who followed them over the years. As a result, the Institute has consistently been ranked as the number one private sector engineering university in Pakistan by the Higher Education Commission (HEC). In its assessment of the Institute's internal quality assurance mechanism, the HEC has been placing GIK in the coveted 'W' category. It is, thus, no surprise that we attract the best young minds to our student body. There have been many other achievements along the way. Several new disciplines, including power engineering, chemical engineering and nanotechnology have been added to the original five, and there is now a robust graduate program, which is essential for research. Building on its formidable reputation in engineering, the Institute introduced Management Sciences some four years ago. Huawei, the Chinese multinational has established a training center (Huawei Authorized Information and Network Academy – HAINA) on campus and the first certification course has been held. GIK was instrumental in Pakistan acquiring accession status to the Washington Accord, whereby Pakistani engineering degrees will now be recognized by the other member states, which include a number of western countries: it was one of only two universities selected for visit by a team of three foreign evaluators (USA, UK, New Zealand), along with PEC representatives. The Institute has developed state-of-the-art facilities, particularly laboratories, and has a research program and faculty that we can be proud of. Strong linkages have been established with industry and several foreign universities through joint research and sponsored projects. GIK graduates are highly regarded by employers, both in Pakistan and abroad. Agreements for student exchanges with institutions in some other countries are also in place. The GIK admissions process is based entirely on merit. Although we are a not-for-profit institution, we try to ensure that the brightest students do not miss out because of their limited financial resources. Almost Rs. 80 million were committed by the Institute itself for assistance to undergraduate students in 2017-18. Similar sums, if not more, are also expected for 2018-19. About one-third of the new intake will receive scholarships or financial assistance, both from our own resources and with the help of our many friends and partners, which include alumni, philanthropists, companies and Federal and Provincial governments, to whom we are most grateful. The GIK Institute is probably the only university in Pakistan that requires all its students and faculty members to live on its attractive, self-contained campus, which facilitates close interaction between the two, as well as among the students themselves. While the emphasis is on academics, including research, students have an opportunity to participate in a range of activities outside the classroom, which is essential to an all-round education and personality development. Apart from the excellent sports facilities, there are close to thirty students' societies: from art to aeromodelling; from mathematics to media. I would like to express our immense gratitude to all our partners, friends and well-wishers, particularly the Founding Fathers; past and present Members of the Board, Rectors, Pro Rectors, Deans, faculty members and all other employees; and alumni, for their immense contributions to the success of the GIK Institute. I look forward to the opportunity of welcoming you to the GIK Institute.
