About CUSIT — City University of Science and Information Technology Peshawar
City University of Science and Information Technology (CUSIT) is a private university established in 2001 in Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It was created to meet the rapidly growing need for IT and computer science graduates in KPK, a need that public universities alone could not fulfil given the rapid expansion of the technology sector in Pakistan in the 2000s. CUSIT is fully recognised by the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of Pakistan and has grown into one of the established private IT-focused universities in Peshawar, serving students from the city and surrounding districts.
CUSIT offers a focused range of programmes aligned with its core identity as a technology and management institution. Key undergraduate degrees include BS Computer Science, BS Information Technology, BS Software Engineering, BS Electrical Engineering, and BBA (Hons). Humanistic electives include BS English which has been added to complement the technical programme offerings. At the postgraduate level, CUSIT offers MS Computer Science, MS IT, MBA, and MPhil in select disciplines. CUSIT's BS Computer Science and BS IT programmes have produced a significant number of graduates working in Pakistan's IT sector and abroad.
All CUSIT programmes use the HEC 4.0 grading scale. Assessment is semester-based with coursework, midterm exams, and final examinations contributing to the final course grade. The university maintains an active alumni network and provides career development and placement support to students.
