Message from the Chairman Board of Governors
HITEC University Taxila was established through an
Act of Provincial Assembly of the Punjab in 2009.
Since its inception the University has made remarkable
progress in all aspects and has grown in stature. The
unstinted hard work of the Vice Chancellor, faculty
and staff of HITEC University has earned it a place of
prominence among its contemporaries.
Its programs are held in high esteem and its student
body represents all the geographical units of Pakistan.
Besides the existing programs, the University will
offer Computer Engineering program from the
current year. The research output of the University
is commendable. I also admire University’s efforts to
ensure 100% internship training of its students in the
leading industries of Pakistan.
It is also a source of encouragement that the
University has established academic and research
collaborations with the top ranking universities of the
UK and Turkey. The agreement of mutual collaboration
with the University Technology Malaysia (UTM) is also
at the final stage.
I am also pleased to announce that construction of
a purpose built hostel, family accommodation for the
faculty and a stadium will commence soon. Besides
continuously improving the infrastructure of the
University and the quality of education, we remain
deeply committed towards the moral grooming of
our students to make them responsible citizens of
Pakistan.
I pray to Allah Almighty for granting success to the
HITEC University in all its endeavors.

Message from the Vice Chancellor
I extend a very warm welcome to all the readers, especially to aspiring
students and their parents, at the time of our new admissions. This is the
7th successful year of HITEC University since its inception in 2007.
Ranked in category “W” by the Higher Education Commission of
Pakistan, HITEC University is Pakistan’s premier academic and research
institution. The University is committed to impart quality education
through an environment conducive to learning and teaching. We induce
and inculcate high moral values, sense of civic responsibility and
inquisitiveness amongst our students.
HITEC University offers undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate
programs in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics and
Islamic Studies. In 2012 the University introduced BS in Computer
Science Program which was very well received; this year BS in Computer
Engineering is being launched. The up-to-date and well conformed
curricula have been tailored to market needs and are designed to equip
the students with the latest developments in their fields of specialization.
Our research focused teaching makes certain that our students receive
the highest quality education. It includes “knowledge, skills and attitudes”
as deemed essential in Washington Accord, a universal framework of
quality in engineering education.
Compliant to the vision of its founders, HITEC University is committed to
instill in our students the impetus and will to perform adeptly and to steer
their way through the challenges of life. Our motto “In Truth I Triumph”
stamps the very foundations of this institution. With us, your urge to know

It shouldn’t go unmentioned that we have recently signed an agreement
with Strathclyde University, UK. The students can now opt for Strathclyde
University’s degree by spending two years in HITEC University and two
years at Strathclyde University. A similar Memorandum of Understanding
signed with Istanbul Technical University, Turkey will provide an
opportunity to HITEC University students to study one year at ITU under
the student exchange program.
The University infrastructure is continuously being improved. The labs
and library are upgraded with latest equipment and state of the art
facilities. Hemmed by Margalla Hills in the east and walled in the west,

Motto
The motto should guide the students in their future lives as a beacon
of light and be a reflection of their character strength and grooming.
‘Truth’ is the key word in the selection of University’s motto, for indeed
it has been the virtue of the prophets and the object of pursuit of
all great men, scholars, researchers and scientists. Finding and
upholding truth is the purpose and spirit of real education. The most
befitting inspiration was found in a Quranic verse, “Wa Qaulu Qaulun
Saddeeda”, (Ayat 70, Al-Ahzab) but to keep the sanctity of the divine
words it has been replaced by a Hadith, carrying the same assertion
“Assidqo Yunjee”, meaning “In truth lies success”. Its English
equivalent “In Truth I Triumph” is the translation of a Latin slogan “In
Veritate Triumpho” ascribed to Myddelton of Gwanynog (1638 AD).
Emblem
HITEC University emblem symbolizes Pakistan’s national heritage, ideology,
cultural values, and provides conviction and courage to its students. The University
emblem is a roundel, in line with traditional Muslim shield. It has two rings; the outer
ring contains the name of institution and its motto while the inner ring embodies
a multi-layered insignia. On the top is the rising Sun signifying energy, hope and
newness. At the bottom is a body of water which is source of all life. In the middle
the white emerging lines stand for the earth which is the abode of all mankind.
The blue lines show rivers on the Earth indicating that civilizations have grown on
the banks of rivers. The pattern formed by white and blue lines alludes to an open
book that represents all recorded human knowledge. The book is placed on the
surface of the water, pointing to an eternal challenge we are confronted with. In
the back drop of the book, emerges the golden Sun sending its rays across the
universe. The rising Sun also represents the dawn of a new era where darkness is
dispelled and brightness is ushered in.

Taxila
Taxila is an ancient historical city, which
is just 30 kms north west of Islamabad
the capital of Pakistan. It is one of the
most important archaeological sites in
the world. It has numerous sites out of
which, eighteen are on the UNESCO
World Heritage List.
The city dates back to the Ancient
Gandhāran city of Takshashila (also
Takkasila or Taxila) an important Vedic/
Hindu and Buddhist center of learning
from the 6th century BC to the 5th
century CE. This is the region from
where Buddhism travelled to the Far
East. Persians, Greeks under Alexander
the Great, Central Asians and Hindus
invaded the area and subsequently left
their mark.
Takshashila became a noted centre of
learning at least several centuries BCE,
and continued to attract students from
around the old World until the destruction
of the city in the 5th century. During
its peak period of glory, Takshashila
exerted “intellectual suzerainty” over
other centres of learning in India, and
its primary concern continued to be the
higher education in various arts and
crafts.
Takshashila is best known for its
association with Chanakya, also known
as Kautilya, the strategist who guided
