INSTITUTE OF SPACE TECHNOLOGY
Welcome Message
Welcome Message
Vice Chancellor
The institute of Space Technology warmly welcomes the
latest group of an ever-growing number of students who
aspire to broaden their horizons and hone their skills in
technologies that are shaping the destiny of the new age
as we speak.
Choosing the right graduate study program based on

skills and strengths is one of the trickiest yet one of the
most vital career choices that needs to be made with
extreme caution. A big number of prospective graduate
students may already be working in positions where they
are keen to broaden their horizons. Others may opt to
further bolster their academic credentials after having
completed an undergraduate program and want to
broaden their horizons in an area which interests them
the most.
Regardless of the ambitions, the safest bet for any prospective graduate student is to opt for IST's linked
or local PhD/MS programs that would surely add more gloss to his or her academic credentials, therefore
giving them the keys to what could be a bright future. Backed by a highly qualified, dedicated and an
extremely competent faculty, IST's graduate program is second to none in the country.
Our linked programs aspire to provide students a cost effective opportunity of earning their way to a
graduate degree in a specialized field from a prestigious foreign university.
The local PhD/MS programs offer students an opportunity to study and conduct research at Graduate
Level in IST in a financially viable manner. Our programs are completely tailored according to the HEC
guidelines and aspire to meet the highest standards. We look forward to see you become part of what is
rapidly becoming a beacon of higher learning in Pakistan.

Islamabad: The green capital
Combining a rich history, the confluence of many a civilization from the yesteryears
and a temperate climate, Islamabad the capital of Pakistan, is one of the most
beautiful cities in South Asia. Wide, tree-lined streets adorn the various sectors and
zones of this unique city, making it accessible, spectacular and a vibrant place.
Nestled against the backdrop of Margalla Hills at the northern end of the Potohar
Plateau, the city personifies the aspirations and ambitions of a young and dynamic
nation that aspires to open doors to a glorious future for its people. The city
welcomes new and unique ideas but at the same time, recognizes and cherishes the
traditional values and the past history of its people.
Apart from the modern amenities, Islamabad is neighbor to quite a few historical
sites such as: visit place.
Rawalpindi
Rawalpindi is a city in the Potohar Plateau near Pakistan's capital city of Islamabad,
in the province of Punjab. It is also known as the twin city of Islamabad. It is the
military headquarters of the Pakistan Armed Forces and also served as the nation's
capital while Islamabad was being constructed in the 1960s. The city is home to
many industries and factories. With historical buildings and bazaars, vast parks,
chilling winters and hot summers, Rawalpindi has proven its status as a MUST
visit place.
Margallah Pass
To the North of Islamabad, Margallah lies between the ancient capital of Gandhara
(Taxila), and Islamabad. There is an obelisk right on the top of the Pass, built in 1890
in memory of Brig Gen of the British army, by his colleagues. A small part of the
ancient Shahi (Royal) Road built by Chandar Gupta and later developed by the
Afghan King Sher Shah Suri in 1540s, can also be seen.

Taxila
Most of the archaeological sites of Taxila (600 BC to 500 AD) are located around
Taxila Museum. For over one thousand years, Taxila remained famous as a centre of
learning Gandhara art of sculpture, architecture, education and Buddhism in the days
of Buddhist glory. There are over 50 archaeological sites scattered in a radius of 30
kms around Taxila. Also, a museum comprising various sections with rich
archaeological finds of Taxila has been established close to the site. It is a popular
destination with tourist visiting from all over Pakistan as well as abroad.
Saidpur Village
Saidpur, a little quaint village, famous for its pottery, is part of Islamabad today. It
is located off the Hill Road to the east of Daman-e-Koh. Saidpur was founded by
Sultan Said Khan, son of Sultan Sarang Khan. He gave his daughter in marriage to
Mughal Prince Saleem who later became Emperor Jahangir. Saidpur was a garden
resort and a perpetual spring provided water for drinking and for watering
gardens. An attractive destination, where cultural exhibitions and restaurants
provided a great ambiance among the hills during the Mughal period. It has
recently been renovated into an attractive tourist destination, where exhibits and
restaurants provide a great view among the hills.
Rawal Lake
To the east of Islamabad and at the foothills of Murree, lies a scenic & spectacular
lake aptly named as Rawal Lake. This lake is host to many of the sporting events
like, rowing, sailing and recreations like boating, fishing, sightseeing etc. Rawal
Lake's primary role is to provide a water reservoir for the twin cities. Nevertheless, it
is an attractive place for the visitors.

Once a major campsite of Mughal rulers, Wah Gardens is located 12 km west of

Taxila on the G.T. Road. The gardens were developed with magnificent trees and
water channels by successive Mughal emperors. it is a place that must be visited
Gurudwara Panja Sahib in Hasan Abdal
The town of Hasan Abdal has a particular association with Mughals and Sikhs. It
was mentioned by Emperor Jahangir in his memoirs and frequently visited by
successive Mughal Kings, on their way to Kashmir. It has a Sikh Gurdwara (temple)
known as Panja Sahib and is visited biannually by Sikh pilgrims from all over the
world.
Murree Hills
To the further east at about 45 miles away are the green top Murree Hills. Murree is
a place for all seasons; in summers it is an ideal place to beat the sizzling heat of the
twin cities and a romantic hideout to catch some snowflakes during winters.

Galaxy revealed that most galaxies, if not all, harbor
central supermassive black hole responsible for
extremely energetic and exotic phenomena
associated with quasars and radio galaxies. We also
discovered that universe is expanding with ever
increasing rate suggesting that we are living in an
epoch of dark energy dominated universe. With CMB
data from WMAP and PLANCK, we understand a
great deal about large scale structure formation.
