KOHAT UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE & TEHCNOLOGY

Rationale

Kohat University of Science and Technology is a Public Sector University

endeavoring to be at the forefront of science and technology such that to

provide the entrepreneurship, research, education and other client agencies

with innovative ideas through highly motivated, ambitious, and forward-looking

graduates.

To develop and sustain high quality education, KUST is providing strong

academic, guidance, and welfare systems designed to support students from

every walk of life and every community. Capacity building, degree programs,

and an ever-growing national dimension, are our distinctive characteristics, all

planned to contribute to the outstanding employment prospects of our

graduates.

The establishment of KUST is in line with the objectives of the Higher Education

aiming to ensure the availability of quality education and uplifting of research

capabilities of the universities.

The capital of the province – Peshawar - has well-established universities (both in

the public and private sectors) while the southern part lacked such facilities till

the recent past. Establishment of KUST is a first single step towards this great

journey. It covers the southern and western flank of the province and thus

completes the network of the universities in all parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Location

Kohat University of Sciences & Technology is situated at a distance of 9km from

Kohat City on Indus Highway. Briefly to mention, the historic city of Kohat, lying at

the confluence of Orakzai and Kurram Agencies on one side and Dara Adam

Khel on the other side is famous for being the centre of Inter Services Selection

Board, Home of Signals, Cadet College Kohat, and Tanda Dam. It has one of

the most beautiful cantonments of the Province and a famous Kohat Fort made

by Mughal Emperor Akbar.

Kohat lies at the periphery of Southern areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and is at a

distance of 66 km from the provincial capital, Peshawar. The newly constructed

Kohat Tunnel has further enhanced its strategic importance. It is the hometown

of many brave sons who have served and are serving in the armed forces of

Pakistan and other government institutions and have rendered great sacrifices

for the country on many occasions

FACULTY OF SCIENCE

Faculty of Science is one of the pioneering Faculties of the Kohat University of

Science and Technology (KUST). In our Faculty, we place emphasis on high

quality teaching complimented by originality in research work. Our strength is our

highly skilled faculty members who publish regularly in international journals of

repute; and our students that are enrolled through a rigorous process of selection

from across the province on the basis of merit established through a test

administered by an independent body. We are making every effort to create an

atmosphere that is conducive for learning and innovation. Our syllabi are set to

provide our students with the training and impart skills that would enable them to

play an effective role in the modern competitive world.

KUST is still going through its infancy and is open to new ideas. We have set very

high goals for ourselves in the Faculty, nonetheless. We aim at generating

innovative ideas in sciences and technologies with a very vast scope: ranging

from medicinal and plants chemistry to polymer science; from surface chemistry

to structural chemistry; from reaction dynamics to molecular dynamics; from

lasers to viable energy resources; from smart materials to nanotechnology; from

ferromagnetic to superconducting and spintronic devices; from artificial

intelligence to cognitive modeling; and from pure algebra to applied

computational fluid dynamics.

Our Chemistry Department can be easily grouped among the very best in the

region with highly trained academic and support staff. This department enjoys

the reputation of the most productive department in KUST in terms of research

publications and grants. This department acquired state of the art equipment

used for high end research and chemical analysis. It has a strong graduate

program with dozens of students pursuing their PhD degrees. The Department of

Physics also follows the course and has been able to attract very energetic

faculty members involved in teaching in diverse areas and pursuing research at

the frontiers of sciences. The Institute of Information Technology, alongside the

largest body of students enrolled for the undergraduate and graduate

programs, is also catering for the computational needs of the entire campus.

This Institute has recently launched its own research journal with international

editorial board that has already brought international recognition to KUST. Our

Mathematics Department is not only looking after a large number of support

courses for the students of other departments, but has its own undergraduate

degree program. The faculty is also involved in research projects and would soon

become a research productive department. We have recently started with the

undergraduate program in Electrical and Computer Engineering with young and

energetic academics offering courses designed according to the modern trends

in engineering. Currently, we are in the process of accreditation of this program

with the Pakistan Engineering Council.

We have every reason to believe in the potentials of our faculty members as well

as our students. The Faculty of Science at KUST would soon make its mark at the

11

national and international level, not only by continuing to produce highly skilled

graduates but also by publishing the amount of new knowledge it creates and

get it published in international journals of repute.

INTERSHIP AND PLACEMENT

Three NIP internees were accommodated in the Engineering department

during year 2009-2010.

FUTURE PLANS

The department is in the process of accreditation from PEC. Currently the

Department is offering BE Electrical with specialization in Computer and

Communication Engineering, but in future other specialization i.e. Electronics,

Controls and Power will be introduced. The department is also looking for foreign

qualified PhD faculty so that the department could start Masters Programs as

well.

FACULTY OF BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES

The Faculty of Biological Sciences comprises of four departments, Biotechnology,

Microbiology, Plant Sciences, and Zoology. The Biotechnology and Microbiology

departments are presently housed in the City Campus while Plant Sciences and

Zoology are on the Main Campus. All of these departments offer undergraduate

and graduate programmes leading to BS, MSc, MS/MPhil, and PhD degrees. The

faculty is fairly rich and well resourced in terms of students, academic staff, and

research facilities.

The slogan of KUST “research based teaching” could be seen implemented in

true letter and spirit in our Faculty. Teaching is complimented with the high

quality research, making full use of the recently installed high-tech equipment

worth millions of rupees. These include: HPLC, DNA Sequencer, RT-PCR, 2-D Gel

Electrophoresis and SDS- PAGE Protein Analysis, Gel Documentation, Double

Beam Spectrophotometers, Fermentor, Flame Photometer, Photosynthesis Meter,

Leaf Area Meter, Water Potential Meter, Autoclave (various capacities), Growth

Chambers and Incubators of various sizes, ultra low temperature Freezers,

Centrifuge, and Optical Microscopes of various magnifications. Furthermore,

research projects worth tens of millions are either in progress or near to

completion, indicating active involvement of its faculty and graduate students in

research.

The Faculty of Biological Sciences, with the hard work of its faculty and students,

has been producing competent and well qualified graduates. In a short span of

time, it has grown and developed into an educational centre with emphasis on

excellence, innovation, and high quality education with no compromise on

discipline. The Faculty of Biological Sciences would surely continue its progress

with the same zeal. It would not only continue to produce highly trained human

resource to meet the socio-economic and developmental needs of our society

but would also produce research work of international standards.

ELECTRONICS NETWORK SERVICES CENTER

ACCOMPLISHMENTS DURING 2009-10

ENSC is committed to provide excellent voice and data services not only locally

with in the University main Campus but also to remote sites like City Campus,

KIMS etc. I am pleased to inform you that during the year 2009-10 ENSC has

successfully accomplished the following activities.

Setting up new Data Centre

In order to construct a data center that can meet the challenges of the new

market, there are three basic areas of data center definition and development:

we have tried our level best to cover all these areas and set up a modern,

scalable Data Centre.

Facilities: including building, security, power, air conditioning and room for

growth

Internet connectivity: performance, availability and scalability

Data center management: monitoring, support, and troubleshooting

Users expect a physical and technical environment that offers the highest levels

of reliability and flexibility. Accordingly, the Internet data center must provide the

physical environment, network connectivity, technical skills and server hardware

necessary to keep Internet servers up and running 24 hours a day, 7 days a

week.

Setting up repair/maintenance facility

Like all machines, computers, printers, network switches, access points etc are

subject to wear and tear and get outdated. The high demand for computers,

coupled with the need for updates and repair, means that repair/maintenance

facility is necessary. Such workshops must be set up properly in order to prevent

injury to technicians. Though lacking in some of the diagnostic equipments, we

112

have established this facility at KUST and our technicians do 60-70 % of the repair

work internally.

Setting up Video Conferencing Hall

Using live Video and Audio, videoconferencing allows you to hold or participate

in meetings, conferences, lectures or seminars with out leaving university

grounds. KUST is lucky enough to have this modern tool of communication. The

students and staff equally utilizing this facility which provides free communication

over the Internet.

Establishment of KETV

KUST is one of the few universities in Pakistan that has registered with PAMRA for

its cable television services on the campus for Educational purposes. KUST

Educational TV is currently showing 27 channels. Two of the channels are

reserved to broadcast lectures and the rest are famous national and

international news/sports and entertainment channels. The students and staff

have cable TV access in their respective hostels.

Intra-building connectivity through Optical Fiber

All the buildings in the KUST main Campus are inter-connected through Fiber

Optic that serves as the backbone of our Network/Internet services. This

technology not only solved the issue of inter-connectivity among the buildings

but also reasonably reduced the down time and congestion issues as well.

CCTV Surveillance System at Main Campus, City Campus and KIMS

Installation of CCTV security system in current dismal security situation particularly

in KPK is indispensable. We have successfully installed CCTV system consisting of 9

CCTV cameras covering almost all the main areas of the main KUST campus. This

system remains up 24*7. We do record videos that could be seen in case of any

incident.

Security Siren Installation

113

In order to inform the students and staff in case of any emergency situation like

fire or presence of any explosive in any building KUST has its own alarm system in

place.

Internet/Network connectivity to Admin Block & Foreign Faculty suites

As KUST is new and rapidly growing university, the permanent Admin Block is still

under construction. The V.C. house and adjacent foreign faculty suites currently

accommodating V.C secretariat, Establishment, Finance, Planning, QEC, Works

and ILC etc. have been successfully connected to main Data Center for

network/Internet services.

Internet provision to KUST Hostels

To fulfill the needs of staff and students regarding their lectures, theses, projects,

and seminars or for any other information 24 hours internet facility is provided in

each & every hostel of the KUST. Speed of surfing and downloading is up to

100KBPS. Fair to mention here that a few universities in Pakistan offer Internet

facility in university houses, KUST staff/students living in hostels are lucky enough to

have this facility.

Up gradation of Internet Link

Internet plays a significant role to access information nationally and

internationally and get awareness of the research work being carried out around

the world in various walks of life. KUST is rapidly growing educational institute. To

produce quality graduates in this age of competition, any institute must be well-

equipped with IT facilities. KUST initially had only 2MB link which was obviously

insufficient to meet the requirements of a growing university. We have

successfully upgraded our link from 2MB to 12MB which is now proficiently fulfilling

the university’s ever growing needs.

Setting up a High Performance Cluster

KUST is one of the few fortunate universities in Pakistan that have got a very

powerful High performance Cluster of their own. The Ex-Vice Chancellor Dr.

114

Lutfullah Kakakhel conceived the idea and was mainly instrumental to have this

facility in KUST. The cluster consists of 48 nodes, each node having dual

processor, thus providing a very powerful High performance Cluster for solving

complex CPU intensive problems pertaining to Bioinformatics, Molecular and

Cell Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and of course Computer Science.

Provision of Wireless Internet facility at Main Campus

ENSC has provided wireless facility to the staff and students in and around the

Main University Campus. Now all of our staff and students can access the

network resources and Internet through wireless from anywhere indoor and

outdoor in and around the University Main Campus. Student and Faculty can

utilize this facility in the hostel as well round the clock.

Provision of wireless Internet facility at KIMS

Most recently we have successfully installed wireless technology in KIMS. Now

staff and student of KIMS can utilize this facility in and around the KIMS premises.

LAN Connectivity to Hill Academic block

As some of the departments like Chemistry, Physics, Engineering, Pharmacy,

Journalism and English Language Lab etc have moved to new Hill Block, all

these departments requested LAN connectivity and Internet facility. We have

provided the connectivity, and now all of them fully utilize the network and

Internet resources.

KUST Web Development

In this age of communication where Internet has been instrumental in turning the

world into a global village, ignoring the significance of web is not affordable

especially for an educational institute. The web site of any organization/ institute

is supposed to present the true picture of the institute to the whole world.

115

In recent past our web development team has made tremendous efforts to

make KUST web sit more dynamic and vibrant. In addition to web development

the ENSC also provides web hosting facility to the students and faculty of KUST.

This could help them to launch their web site with any problems like storage and

domain issues.

The combination of excellent educational technology and professional

management makes the learning environment rich and dynamic. We at ENSC

with limited human resources are fully committed to provide the best of our

services to meet the ever increasing demands of very rapidly growing KUSTNET.
