City University of Science & Information Technology, (CUSIT) Peshawar is one of the first private-sector universities, chartered by the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC), Accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC). As an extension of Peshawar Model Educational Institutes (PMEI), the University was founded in 1979, intending to impart quality education at an affordable cost.
Initially, a primary school was established by Muhammad Zahoor Sethi (Founder), comprising just one moderate campus with 300 students. But, in due course of time, the continuous efforts of our highly qualified faculty and dedicated management paid off. They resulted in establishing nine separate school campuses, three-degree college campuses for boys and two-degree college campuses for girls, with a combined strength of over 23,000 students.
Recognizing the extraordinary reputation of PMEI in providing quality education from primary to bachelor level, the government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa granted the charter of City University of Science & Information Technology, Peshawar, on August 30, 2001. The University was inaugurated by Lt. Gen.(R) Syed Iftikhar Hussain Shah, the then Governor, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, on October 06, 2001. Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan was also present at the inauguration. The University is managed through university bodies such as the Board of Governors, Academic Council, Board of Advanced Studies & Research, Board of Faculties, Selection Board, and Finance & Planning Committee. All the efforts of City University's management, administration, and faculty are directed to produce competent and efficient professionals who will effectively contribute to taking Pakistan to technological and economic glories.
