Concrete efforts are also being made by CIIT
to attract foreign students for admission in CIIT for different undergraduate and
graduate degree programs. e.g from Middle East and Gulf Regions.
So to support
such efforts, this year COMSATS Institute of Information Technology (CIIT) also
participated at GHEDEX 2007: Muscat, Oman from April 16-18 2007 with a full-fledged
stall.
Gulf Higher Education Exhibition (GHEDEX) is
being organized for last 07 years and now it has attained the status of most comprehensive
regional platform showing a wider array of diverse, international study options
in higher education for students, parents, young professionals, and the academic
organization from the Sultanate of Oman and the Gulf Region.
Since the medium of instruction at CIIT is English,
intending foreign students must show sound knowledge of written as well as spoken
English. The academic credentials of the foreign students will be examined by the
Admission Office to ascertain if they meet Institute’s entrance requirements for
the selected degree program. If so, provisional admission will be offered subject
to clearance from the Ministry of Education, Government of Pakistan. International
students can arrange for clearance either through their respective Embassy in Pakistan
or with the help of the Admissions Office at CIIT.
Applicants may find that their qualifications
are not necessarily recognizable by CIIT because of differences in educational systems
of different countries. Therefore, in addition to transcripts of their latest academic
qualifications, they must also submit an equivalence certificate obtained from the
Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC) while applying for admission. The office
of the IBBC is located in the building of Federal Board of Intermediate & Secondary
Education, Sector H-8/4, Islamabad, and Tel: 051-9235017.
The foreign students after getting admission
in CIIT need to follow guidelines as provided by HEC for issuance/renewal of visa
for admission in different academic programs as well. The details of such procedures
can be obtained from the HEC website by clicking the link

options is available in the surrounding areas. The office of Students Support Services
will facilitate the new comers to seek out accommodation of their choice by putting
them in touch with the international students already studying at CIIT. Admission
