The Institute of Computing came into existence in April 2009, as an
up-gradation of the Department of Computer Science which was
established in 1995. Today, the institute provides an excellent
educational environment that aims at bringing out the best. As the
computing industry matured, professional qualifications are becoming
more and more essential. The taught curriculum encompasses the
recommendation of IEEE and ACM joint committee on Computer
Science Curriculum and also conforms to the recommendations of the
National Curriculum Revision Committee in the Information
Technology, Computer Science and Telecommunication Systems, duly
approved by the Higher Education Commission, Ministry of
Education and Ministry of Science and Technology.
The students in the Institute of Computing have almost unlimited
access to computers and the professional software tools that go with
them. The Institute has over 10 teaching laboratories/interactive
classrooms, which are equipped with more than 400 Pentium-IV/III
based multimedia PCs loaded with Windows XP, Linux, Sun V890
Server, Sun StorEdge 6610 SAN and Sun Ultra Sparc Enterprise
System with 40 Sun Ray-I workstations. All these teaching
laboratories/interactive classrooms are networked to 10 common Dual/ Quad Xeon based servers. They are also connected to the university
Fiber Optic based Campus LAN and to the outside world via Internet.
Each of them is fitted with an overhead multimedia projector. The
Institute also has the facility of Video Conferencing Room funded by
the HEC, which will provide an opportunity of access and
connectivity for the University to the human resource across the
globe. It will help to boost the level of academic and research activity.
For the CISCO Local Academy, CISCO Systems Inc. USA donated a
bundle of equipment containing six CISCO 2800 Series Routers and
three CISCO 2600 Series Catalyst Switches. The CCNA networking
course has already been launched many times. It is useful for the
people of Southern Punjab, since no proper network training facility
is available in this area. It is also helpful in raising the quality of
education in other programs especially Telecommunication Systems
program, as computer networks are essential part of their studies. The
detail of different academic programs offered by the Institute is given
on subsequent pages.
