VISION
HITEC University shall be a premier institution and bastion of academic excellence. It must become a citadel of our
ideological moorings, national integration and socio-religious values. HITEC ought to trigger the human mind to think
clearly perceiving the environment and issues confronting human beings, seeking intelligent, viable and practical
solutions, leading to societal development and the overall betterment of human race. The campus shall provide
our progeny the environment for intellectual flourishment, nurturing fertility of thought and creativity. HITEC University
faculty will focus on preparing our youth to face the challenges of life with honor, confidence and fortitude through
character building and grooming. In HITEC University merit, justice, honesty and adherence to moral and social
values must prevail. The University shall provide a pedestal for fulfillment of our youths aspirations and hopes to live an
honorable life as citizens of Pakistan.
MISSION
HITEC University will be a center
of excellence in teaching, learning
and research. We instill and inspire
intellectual curiosity, lifelong quest
for knowledge and a keen urge for
social and moral responsibility. The
University will establish strong
linkages with industry, ensuring
innovative research leading to
economic prosperity of Pakistan.
8 HITEC University Prospectus 2017
MOTTO
The motto should guide the students in their future lives
as a beacon of light and be a reflection of their character
strength and grooming. Truth is the key word in the
selection of Universitys motto, for indeed it has been the
virtue of the prophets and the object of pursuit of all great
men, scholars, researchers and scientists. Finding and
upholding truth is the purpose and spirit of real education.
The most befitting inspiration was found in a Quranic verse,
Wa Qaulu Qaulun Saddeeda, (Ayat 70, Al-Ahzab) but to
keep the sanctity of the divine words it has been replaced
by a Hadith, carrying the same assertion Assidqo Yunjee,
meaning In truth lies success. Its English equivalent In
Truth I Triumph is the translation of a Latin slogan In Veritate
Triumpho ascribed to Myddelton of Gwanynog (1638 AD).
EMBLEM
HITEC University emblem symbolizes Pakistans national heritage,
ideology, cultural values, and provides conviction and courage to its
students. The University emblem is a roundel, in line with traditional Muslim
shield. It has two rings; the outer ring contains the name of institution and
its motto while the inner ring embodies a multi-layered insignia. On the top
is the rising Sun signifying energy, hope and newness. At the bottom is a
body of water which is source of all life. In the middle the white emerging
lines stand for the earth which is the abode of all mankind. The blue lines
show rivers on the Earth indicating that civilizations have grown on the
bank of rivers. The pattern formed by white and blue lines alludes to an
open book that represents all recorded human knowledge. The book is
placed on the surface of the water, pointing to an eternal challenge we are
confronted with. In the back drop of the book, emerges the golden Sun
sending its rays across the universe. The rising Sun also represents the
dawn of a new era where darkness is dispelled and brightness is ushered in.

HITEC University added power of learning and striving in me to move ahead in professional
life. All the faculty were qualified with natural teaching instincts and cared like real parents.
I had a wonderful time, whose memories I will cherish forever. I am currently managing my
own multifaceted company all due to what I learnt in the university. Thank You HITEC.

CEO & Co-Founder | She`Kab
I did my undergraduate from HITEC University, and looking back, I feel that while it was
brave to enroll in a brand new institution, it was also one of the best decisions I made for
myself.
I learned some invaluable lessons during the four years. The first lesson I learned was that
educational institutions can only do so much in making us who we are. I took full advantage of
the undivided attention from my teachers and professors, and spent many hours discussing
ideas and problems even outside the classroom. I was told that a camera cannot take its
own picture and that the world is filled with diverse people. This lesson has helped me settle
in different countries and cultures from East and the West, and continues to be a guiding
principle.
The third lesson I learned was that we would have played our role in the world even if we
make an iota worth of a difference in someones life.
My gradual elevation from an eager student to a responsible engineer would not have been
possible without the quality of education I received at HITEC University. This institution is
indeed a beacon of phenomenal knowledge that thrives on producing intellectuals dedicated
to the technological advancement of our developing nation. The faculty constantly showcased
utter devotion and genuine concern towards my educational prospects and for that, mere I
will ever remain grateful to university.

What appealed to me most about HITEC University was the progressive blend of scientific
knowledge with core technological skills that are required to be successful in todays
competitive industrial world. There is little to nothing that really compares to the marvelous
experience I had in this institution, as the faculty provided me with the professional support
necessary to further succeed in not only my education but also in my professional life. I will
forever be indebted to them for inspiring me to continuously challenge myself in order to
break free from the label of normal. HITEC University catapulted me to extra-ordinary levels.

The skills that I developed at HITEC University Mechanical Engineering Department are
essential in my new position. One of my most rewarding experiences at HITEC University
is the individual and personal attention I received from my instructors. The atmosphere for
learning is unique and commendable. Student to teacher ratio allows for more personalized
learning based on the need of the student. With its world class faculty, staff and thorough
curriculum, HITEC University truly provides a challenging environment allowing top notch
students from diverse backgrounds to optimize their learning experiences for successful
professional careers.
HITEC University has been an amazing platform where, I was able to enhance and polish my
personality. I learnt time management, logical planning and consistent pursuit of my goals.
Being President of Literary Society, I gained invaluable experience of arranging various
functions. I say with confidence that HITEC University groomed me into what I am today.
