PESHAWAR: The Vice Chancellor, University of Technology (UoT), Nowshera, Prof Dr Saeed Badshah said that the university aimed at becoming a prominent institution on national and international level and in such an important context, all available resources would be fully utilized.
In an exclusive interview with the daily Sunrise Today, he shared his vision for the university, highlighting its strengths and future plans.
Prof Badshah stated that the university was established in 2015 to provide quality technical education to the youth of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, enabling them to contribute to mega-projects like CPEC. “Despite limited resources, the university made significant progress, earning recognition nationwide. The faculty’s dedication to students’ growth and the emphasis on practical training have been key factors in this success,” he added.
He continued, “The university offers various programs, including BS Information Technology, BS Artificial Intelligence, BS Computer Science, and engineering technology courses in civil, electrical, electronics, mechanical, and energy areas.
