Message from Vice Chancellor - Engr. Abul Kalam

The Department of Computer and Information Systems Engineering in this University is unique in Pakistan because this descipline was introduced in 1983 long before the Information Technology drive of the present Government was launched at the beginning of the present millenium. The NED University is now the only Public Sector Engineering University which offers two undergraduate four-year programmes i.e. Computer Engineering from one Engineering Faculty & Computer Science from Science Faculty - initiated in 1998. Both these disciplines - the difference between which is not always appreciated - are of equal importance. The manner in which knowledge derived from both of them has been dovetailed in this Programming Competition & Project Exhibition TechElite is clearest indication of the role of Information Technology in this University. 

Message from Dean ECE - Prof. Dr. Talat Altaf

I feel great pride and pleasure in giving this message for the launch of TechElite. TechElite is the embodiment of creativity, dedication and professionalism of the students of CIS, whose reputation for excellence and high standards is reverberated by the achievements of its student’s body and the contribution of its alumni in academic and commercial world. The launch of TechElite is aimed at providing students with an opportunity to gain experience and exposure to the world of technology innovations and encourage them to cultivate their creative talents. I would therefore like to congratulate and wish the very best of luck to the CIS final year students and the team of TechElite who have worked with devotion and diligence for the launch of this event.

Message from Chairperson CIS Department - Prof. Dr. Qurat-ul-Ain I. Tariq

It is a moment of delight for me to invite all ambitious students of Pakistan who have been contributing to the field of Information Technology through their innovative ideas to participate in TechElite’11, an all Pakistan mega IT event. The successful execution of this event for the last 4 years has proved its worth in bringing students from various academic institutions closer. It has been a platform where students learn from each others’ efforts, exchange ideas, explore unfamiliar ventures and innovate concepts. Moreover, presence of experts from leading companies in the industry provides an opportunity to bridge the gap between industry and academia.

TechElite features project exhibitions, competitions, technical seminars and much more. We strongly believe that a healthy quest for competition brings the best out of you and little optimism gives you the energy to leap to success even after encountering failures. Due to this very reason the event has been successful in attracting increasing number of participants from all over the country and has brought immense pride to the organizers.

I am sure that all participants will have a great learning experience at TechElite’11 and wish them well in their endeavours. Last but not least, best wishes to my hard working organizing team for their endless efforts to put on a spectacular event.
