Department of Computer Science

The Computer Science Field is one of the fastest growing and highest paying career paths in the world. The most important aspect of computer science is problem solving, an essential skill for life. Students study the design, development and analysis of software and hardware used to solve problems in a variety of business, scientific and social contexts. Because computers solve problems to serve people, there is a significant human side to computer science as well. The Department of Computer Science & Information Technology (CS&IT) was established in 2017 at kahuta Havelie as a sub-campus of University of Poonch, Rawalakot. The department offers an excellent learning environment, laboratories equipped with latest computers (all connected through Local Area Network) with internet facility, most recent books and qualified faculty. The department developed the curricula of academic programs at various levels to meet the national and international standards as defined by Higher Education Commission.

History

The Department of Computer Science was established in 2017 with the aim of introducing a four-year BS(CS) degree program. According to the Alif Ailaan Pakistan District Education Rankings 2015, Haveli district holds the 17th position out of 148 districts in terms of education, but its facilities and infrastructure rank quite low at 146th position.

Considering the educational needs of the people residing in Kahuta Haveli, a Sub Campus of the University of Poonch Rawalakot was set up on November 16, 2017, in Kahuta. Initially, the campus was accommodated in the building of Boys Degree College Kahuta. In the first phase, the campus introduced two undergraduate degree programs in Education and Computer Sciences disciplines.
