History

Later, this institute got affiliated with the Peshawar University, becoming the premier college to offer postgraduate courses in Computer Science; and with the University of London for certain computer courses. Today, it has on its roll, over three thousand students.
The stage is now set for this progressive institution to further diversify its offerings, and through their unmatched expertise in the field of education, facilitate the academic development of the youngest segments of society.
