Introduction:
In the 21st century, computing technology plays an increasingly important role in every aspect of
the society. Information computing Technology is an emerging field of study with a high scope
in the mere future. Technology is needed everywhere, whether in business, education, medicine
or in normal day to day routines. This field of study is changing rapidly as technology is
changing rapidly, but the core concept of Computer Sciences remains the same. The study of
Computer Science provides students with an understanding of fundamental computer science
concepts coupled with applied information technology skills to prepare them for careers in
computing technology. In addition to the computer science skills and abilities, students gain an
understanding of the human side of computing, the social, ethical and global issues related to
technology, and the ability to collaborate and communicate effectively through project-based
coursework. The field also requires core research to gain insight knowledge about emerging tools
and technologies.

Jinnah University for Women offers two degree programs under the department of Computer
Science and Information Technology i.e., BS(Computer Science) and BS(Software Engineering).
The department has eight software laboratories, one hardware laboratory having Logic Design
and Switching support. There are in total 5 classrooms and five faculty room. The classrooms
and laboratories as well are equipped with visual systems. The department has highly qualified
teachers having academic as well as industrial experience. There is also PhD faculty in the
department who are required for core theoretical courses. The department also supports
researches and encourages students to participate in conferences and software competitions. The
department also facilitates funded projects for Final year students. Final year project meetings
are called weekly and industry professional are hired for looking over the Final year projects of
students.
