NUST SEECS Alumni

In my opinion, SEECS is not just an institute; it is a community of intellectuals gathered together to share their knowledge & bring out what’s best in each one. It has presented me with some of the most amazing opportunities, not only making me a leader in my field of study, but also in extra-curricular activities. For all those applying, if you want a world class education, NUST SEECS is the right place.

Madiha Arshad Dar (Graduated 2010)

“My experience at SEECS has been awesome. I am more than satisfiedwith the quality of education at SEECS; the people here have welcomed

me with open arms and have made my time comfortable. The administrators and faculty are some of the godliest and sincere people you’ll find anywhere, and the size of the student body provides an opportunity to rub shoulders with them in a personal kind of way. They are all so real and approachable. My last words are “Come to SEECS! It’s really opened my eyes to the world and the fantastic culture they have here. ””

Health Life Horizon (HLH)“Design and Implementation of HL7 Open Source Application for e-health Services” is a project with an aim to carry out research in the domain of Health Level Seven (HL7) as an application to provide health services for diverse communities of the world and to interconnect the healthcare systems and thus provide global services to people. Pakistan is now an HL7 affiliate, thanks to the efforts of this research group at SEECS.

I graduated from NUST-SEECS with one thing in my mind; I was battle-ready; ready to take on the real world problems; ready to leave my mark on the world. Back in my early years I was in no way, what you would call, capable. Capable, in the sense that I could apply myself in a professional organization but as I leave SEECS, I know well that the abilities instilled in me here have now transformed me into a soldier. I can

now go out and say, “I can” rather than “I don’t know how to”; and it has been made possible by a wonderful powerhouse of the university, SEECS.Maryam Awan | Bachelors’ of Electrical Engineer - Graduated 2010
