The issue of CITI-Zine for the months of March and April 2016 is before your eyes. We had tremendous engagements during this

feedback from faculty and industry etc. This will also improve the accreditation category of various programs. The academic
performance review process has been intensified and extended counseling has been provided to weak and non-serious students. Their
parents are also involved in the process and it is expected that such students will be more serious. Let me clarify that no compromise
on quality and attendance can be tolerated.

students and staff in the events added colors to the Campus. The students’ study tour and recreational trips provided them
opportunities to learn from visiting various mega projects and historical places/cities. At the same time intensive Internship Program for
th
th
the 6 and 8 Semester students has been developed
Under the Private Chartered Universities Forum (PCUF) mega IT events, Sports Gala and Job Fair have been planned in 2016 under
the Chairman PCUF Mr. Muhammad Sabur Sethi and it’s expected that the teams of CUSIT students will excel in various events as per
their traditions.
Lastly CUSIT has announced “ Second International Conference on Emerging Trends in Engineering Management and Sciences
(ICETEMS-2) to be held on Dec 28-30,2016 in partnership with East Carolina University, Auburn University USA and Institute of
