Pakistan’s IT industry is facing an acute shortage of trained manpower. As a point of comparison, the largest software house in Pakistan employs 300 people while the largest software house in India employs 350,000 programmers- more than the total number of skilled IT workers in Pakistan.

Keeping this reality in mind, ITU is modeled along the lines of the world’s leading technology universities, specifically Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Encapsulating a project-oriented and design-centered approach to education, this new university is expected to produce a new generation of IT engineers and entrepreneurs who will help transform the economic and technical landscape of Pakistan.
