MS Computer Science

Introduction

This program focuses on both coursework and research work. The MS Computer Science program prepares the students to successfully perform in computer science careers by being socially and ethically responsible. The candidates work in multi-disciplinary teams to apply their experience and knowledge to produce solution-oriented research projects. In addition to this, a wide range of research areas can be explored according to the needs and demands of the market. Under the supervision of a designated supervisor, the students are trained and guided to use the latest research techniques and complete the project well in time.

Eligibility Criteria

  • Sixteen years of schooling or 4 year education in relevant filed from HEC recognized DAI will be required for admission.
  • The GAT-General (CAT-C) (www.nts.org.pk/gat/gat.asp) / ISP-Admit Test conducted by the National Testing Service with a minimum 50% cumulative score will be required at the time of admission.
