Admissions
Engineering admission normally combines HSSC (pre-engineering) results with an entry test — the provincial ECAT in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, or an institution’s own test elsewhere. The decisive check is Pakistan Engineering Council accreditation: PEC accredits a specific programme at a specific campus, so a degree title that is accredited at one institution may not be at another. Graduating from a non-accredited engineering programme prevents PEC registration, which is required to practise as an engineer. Ask City University of Science and Information Technology for the PEC accreditation status of the exact programme and campus you are applying to. As a private-sector institution, fees are set institutionally rather than by government schedule, and can differ substantially between programmes — ask for the full per-semester schedule, not just the first instalment.
Applying in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, entry testing for public-sector engineering and medical admission is conducted by the Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency (ETEA), alongside the national MDCAT for medical and dental programmes. ETEA test dates are announced provincially and often fall earlier than admission deadlines elsewhere, so applicants from other provinces should check the schedule well in advance.
HEC Recognition and Accreditation
The Higher Education Commission lists City University of Science and Information Technology as a recognised institution. Recognition means the HEC accepts the institution as competent to award degrees, and that its degrees can be attested and treated as valid for further study and public-sector employment. Recognition is institutional, however, and does not by itself confirm that any particular programme is accredited by its professional body. For engineering programmes the operative approval is Pakistan Engineering Council accreditation of that specific programme at that specific campus.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is City University of Science and Information Technology recognized by HEC?
Yes. The Higher Education Commission of Pakistan lists City University of Science and Information Technology as a recognised institution, which means its degrees can be attested by the HEC and are accepted for further study and public-sector employment. Recognition applies to the institution; individual programmes may additionally require accreditation from a professional council.
Is City University of Science and Information Technology private or government?
City University of Science and Information Technology is a private-sector institution. Private institutions set their own fee schedules rather than following a government scale, so ask for the complete per-semester cost across the full degree rather than only the first instalment.
What entry test is required for admission to City University of Science and Information Technology?
Engineering admission normally requires an entry test — the ECAT in Punjab, an ETEA test in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, or an institutional test elsewhere — alongside HSSC pre-engineering results. Confirm the current requirement on the institution's own admissions page, since criteria and closing dates change each cycle.
Does HEC recognition mean every programme at City University of Science and Information Technology is accredited?
No. HEC recognition confirms the institution is chartered to award degrees. Individual programmes in regulated fields need separate accreditation — the Pakistan Engineering Council for engineering, PMDC for medicine and dentistry, the Pakistan Bar Council for law, NCEAC for computing. A programme can sit inside a recognised institution without holding that professional accreditation, so check the specific programme before enrolling.
