"Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge is the wing
wherewith we fly to heaven"
William Shakespeare
It has occupied the minds of our think tanks as to how we can rub
our shoulders against those who have literally accessed the
heavenly bodies like Mars and Comet in the recent past. There is
no denying the fact that this can be achieved through quality
education. Chain of COMSATS Institutes of Information
Technology across the country have successfully vied for this
honor by producing educated youth in different spheres to join the
national stream of workforce.
The 65th Convocation was held in which degrees were awarded to
626 graduates by Dr S. M. Junaid Zaidi (S.I., H.I.), the Rector of
COMSATS Institute of Information Technology on 22 September
2014. Please read the details inside.
The quarter of the Newsletter under review will update the
readers about the activities of various departments. It will be
reassuring for them that the quest for excellence is on and there is
no let up in our efforts. Over to the readers.
