Virtual Campus (Established in June 2012)

In Pakistan, considerable gap exists between the number of higher secondary level passed students and the number of students who get enrolled in universities. The gap exists mainly due to the insufficient number of public sector universities providing affordable education. CIIT has set itself the goal of making quality education available to students in various parts of Pakistan though its campuses in key cities. The establishment of a virtual campus is the next logical step for the completion of the goal.

CIIT Virtual campus is started to enhance the coverage of quality higher education in the country by providing opportunities to those who could not attend universities because of inflexible timings, cost, or cultural barriers. CIIT Virtual Campus will reach those people by offering sophisticated Distance Learning education programs in Pakistan.

CIIT is the first and only public university to offer the distance learning programs in Pakistan by using the power of today’s information technology resources.
