COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT), Pakistan’s first exclusive institute of information technology. The CIIT was awarded Charter by the Government of Pakistan in 2000 and in less than a decade, it has grown into a quality institution of higher learning. CIIT now has eight campuses in seven cities, a student population of more than 35,000 and faculty base of 2,887. In addition to Information Technology, the Institute offers several bachelor, master and doctoral programs in engineering, basic sciences, management sciences and architecture.
The Commission on Science and Technology for Sustainable Development in the South (COMSATS) is an international organization. It aims to reduce the ever-growing gap between the developed and developing world through useful applications of science and technology. The Third World Academy of Sciences (TWAS) initiated the proposal for the formation of COMSATS under the leadership of Nobel Laureate, Dr. Abdus Salam.
The foundation-conference of COMSATS was held at Islamabad on 4th & 5th October 1994. Representatives from thirty-six countries attended. The participants included twenty-two Ministers, members of the diplomatic community of Islamabad and representatives of international organizations, like UNESCO, UNIDO, UNEP and the World Bank.
The CUI was established in 1998, as a project of the Commission on Science and Technology for Sustainable Development in the South (COMSATS), which is an inter-governmental organization with 21 member states in three continents; Asia, Africa and Latin America, namely Bangladesh, China, Colombia, Egypt, Ghana, Iran, Jamaica, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Korea (DPRK), Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Sudan, Syria, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda and Zimbabwe. Currently, CUI has the status of a public sector degree awarding higher education institution, and was given charter by the Federal Government in August 2000.
CUI aspires to be both one of the top research institutions and one of the best higher education providers in the country. It envisages becoming a university by the name of “COMSATS University”. The vision being pursued by the CUI is to become one of the top 100 universities in the developing world. The CUI further intends to earn a place among the top 500 universities of the world by the year 2020.

Excellent learning opportunities but grading system is not good, and the career development center is openly refuses to help.

The Institute lacks the Administrative skills to manage international student's affairs as well as their welfare. The CIIT is still battling with local language (Urdu) as as means of teaching and Learning and the students are not cooperating in terms of class communication when it comes to teacher-students interaction. One most striking problem of concern is how CIIT is treating post graduate students like undergraduates. The environment has not been favourable for most of the international students and this has ultimately affect their academic performances.

Best & numbr 1 IT university in Pakistan very beautiful and lush green and education standard is very high and faculty also very qualified.....

An average university, there are very less teachers who can make the lectures interesting, other are just boring. Once you are settled in you can easily manipulate their disciplinary rules. If you are coming here for IT related courses FAST university will be a better option. The local transport by which you can get to this place is very pathetic.
Air conditioning system is brilliant here, but semester fee increases after every semester. Not Highly recommended.

I have no experience with other universities yet so in my experience it is a good university. But their teaching method needs to be reviewed. They don't teach students how to survive in the market.
