The commendable efforts made by COMSATS shall have a strong positive impact on the development of science and technology in Pakistan.
For the last four decades, PIEAS has consistently focused on one single objective, that is, to rigorously impart most modern knowledge to the nation's young engineers, doctors and scientists in areas of interest for national strategic organizations. The most stringent set of quality measures throughout the academic process at all levels is a feature of which
PIEAS always takes pride in. PIEAS has been ranked as No 1 institution amongst the Engineering Universities of Pakistan by the Higher Education Commission, Islamabad.
Being a leading institution of scientific and engineering research,
PIEAS trains highly competent scientists and engineers for employment in national strategic organizations. It offers PhD, MS/MPhil and BS degrees in diverse areas of medical, physical and engineering sciences. Some of these degree programs are unique in the sense that, in Pakistan, they are offered at
PIEAS only. Selection for these programs is purely on merit basis. National strategic organizations offer attractive fellowships for MS programs at
