The Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|غلام اسحاق خان انسٹیٹیوٹ}}}}; commonly referred as GIK), is a private research university located in Topi, Swabi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. GIK has eight academic faculties which strongly emphasize on science and engineering. Its {{convert|400|acre|km2}} campus is located in the vicinity of Swabi district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.[2]

Founded by civil servant and former President Ghulam Ishaq Khan in 1993, since its establishment, the institute has consistently attracted the country's most influential scientists such as Abdul Qadeer Khan, Asghar Qadir, and Shaukat Hameed Khan , who played a formulating role in elevating the institute as one of world's finest science and engineering college.[3] GIK is one of the top institutions ranked by the HEC.[4][5]

History

The GIK Institute is a private educational institution, named after former bureaucrat and former President of Pakistan Ghulam Ishaq Khan. The project was delegated to Pakistani scientist, Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan, who was one of the founding members of the institute and was once registered as an associate professor of physics.[6] In 1988 the parent body of the GIK Institute, the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Sciences and Technology in Pakistan (SOPREST), was registered under the "Societies Act". Mr. Ghulam Ishaq Khan, while President of Pakistan, was elected President for life And Mr. H. U. Beg was appointed its Honorary Executive Director. [7]

In March 1993 an "Ordinance" was promulgated by the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (Provincial) Government for the establishment of the Institute under the umbrella of SOPREST, and the first batch of students was inducted the same year in October. Since an Ordinance has a limited life, it was ratified through an "Act" by the Provincial Assembly in July 1994.{{fact|date=September 2018}}

Major founding donors include Nouman Benevolent Community Care, Infaq Foundation, Chiniot Anjuman-e-Islamia, Dawood Group of Industries, and the Government of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa which has donated land at Topi.{{citation needed|date=March 2012}}

Location

The university is situated beside the river Indus in the mountains of Tarbela and Gadoon-Amazai, in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa near the town of Topi and in proximity to the lakes of Tarbela Dam (world's largest earth-filled dam) and Ghazi.[8]

Its campus is in the mountains of Tarbela and Gadoon-Amazai, and is a residential campus with accommodation for students.

Clock tower

Clock Tower, (Landmark of Ghulam Ishaq Khan, aka LOGIK in short), is located in Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute of Engineering Sciences and Technology, Topi, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is the tallest structure in the area visible for many miles, and it provides a view of Tarbela Dam and the surrounding areas of Topi.[9][10]

Admission

Admission to the university is based on the entry test. The test has MCQs of Physics, Mathematics and English. Eligibility criteria for admission to the university is at least 60% marks in physics and mathematics in FSc or Grade C in A levels. Entry test for the university is very competitive as large number of prospective students compete for a limited number of seats.[11]
