Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif fulfilled his promise made to the people in 2009 and inaugurated Punjab Technical University, Pakistan’s first IT University a few moments earlier. A public sector university which will be run by an autonomous board comprising of experts and philanthropists from the private sector. This university in collaboration with an internationally renowned IT University; Middle Eastern Technical University (METU- Ankara Turkey) will offer a joint degree program as well. 1000 students will be enrolled in coming September out of which 500 deserving students will study on a scholarship from PEEF. The University will, in the next financial year move to a purpose built campus at Knowledge City along the ring road where 6000 students will be enrolled. The HEC will support PHD scholars studying at Punjab Technical University. A great step by CM Punjab. (Posted on Shahbaz Sharif Facebook Page)
