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
10
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.

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.

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
111
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
112
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 wellequipped 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.
113
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.
114
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.
