Dr. A. Q. Khan Institute of Computer Sciences & Information Technology (KICSIT) took its start after upgradation of the centre of Computer Studies of KRL Model College in 2000, When Dr. A.Q. KHAN the former chairman KRL, inaugurated the Institute on 6th November 2000. The KICSIT is yet another landmark in the ultimate track of KRL. The bottom-line of KICSIT is perfection and professionalism.
Initially, the KICSIT offered Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) prgramme in affiliation with Gomal University, D I Khan. Later in 2001, 4-year Bachelor of Engineering in Information Technology (BEIT) programme was also started in affiliation with University of Engineering and Technology (UET), Taxila. Currently, BEIT program is being offered and the spade work is being done to some other programmes.
KICSIT is ideally located in an exclusively peaceful and secure environment. On one hand, it is free from the maddening crowd of the present-day cities and, on the other hand, it is accessible from the twin cities of Rawalpindi-Islamabad at an easy drive of about 45 minutes or so.
In view of its ever-expanding strength and scope, substantial steps have been taken to make it well-facilitated with state of the art paraphernalia. It is worth-mentioning that the full-fledged campus of KICSIT is under construction in the midst of lush green and scenic hills of Kahuta, stretched over an area of 185 kanals, and it would include residential facilities as well.
At present, KICSIT is housed in its own purposefully built fully air conditioned campus. It has fully furnished class rooms with audio-visio teaching aids, well equipped computer and electronics labs, and library. KICSIT also operates a book-bank having over 4000 copies of books used as text for various courses. Broad band internet connectivity is available at all the computers of the Institute. KICSIT provides transport to its students and faculty traveling from twin cities and Kahuta surroundings.
New buildings for academic and administration blocks are being constructed at Y-Cross, at the outskirts of KRL premises covering an area of 185 kanals of land. New construction will be completed in next two years. Addition of these blocks will facilitate further teaching and extra curricular activities. One academic block with 8 class rooms, 4 labs, and support offices will be handed over by the end of year 2008.
The Institute can rightly boast of having a very elite faculty with foreign qualified PhDs and Master degree holders having decades of practical industrial experience. Another distinguished feature of KICSIT is its discipline which makes the students concentrates on their studies and healthy activities alone.
