It was in the wake of IT boom that gripped the country in 90's and its concomitant demand for quality in IT education that NUST took the highly opportune initiative of setting up its own IT department. By the grace of Almighty Allah, the institute originally called NIIT and recently renamed as NUST-SEECS has kept the NUST banner aloft by offering some unique academic programs and providing state-of-the art-facilities for carrying out research in cutting-edge technologies.
