PEC Level-II, Washington Accord

The BS Electrical Engineering curriculum is accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council at Level-II under the Washington Accord framework, aligning it with national and international standards.

02 — Open Advising

A dedicated advisor for every class

An open advising system assigns each class a dedicated faculty advisor for academic planning, administrative matters, and career development — encouraging real interaction with faculty.

03 — Specialization Depth

Four streams, one strong foundation

A common core through the first four semesters gives every student the same foundation before they specialize in Power, Electronic, Telecom, or Computer Engineering from semester five onward.
