Hyderabad Institute of Arts, Science & Technology (HIAST), Hyderabad

The city of Hyderabad , in which the Institute is established, is the fourth largest city of Pakistan and symbolizes a coherent merger of the ancient and contemporary civilizations and cultures. It is a place of ever increasing business and industrial enterprises. Its catchment area extends to not only interior of Sindh but is also influenced with the requirements of Karachi and rest of Pakistan . Unfortunately, however, the academic facilities around, do not fulfill the educational requirements of the people in general and the public sector establishments, etc of this biggest city of the interior Sindh, adequately.

There has been, therefore, a long-standing need and desire to establish such a center in the private sector if not in the public sector in the town.It is in this backdrop that HiAST has been established in Hyderabad , which in due course of time, is envisaged to expand its facilities to encompass the intended University of Hyderabad Sindh . It will be an institution of its own kind combining the Liberal Arts, Emerging Sciences and New Technologies. It is being envisaged through the new vision developed recently to have all these fields of learning rather in one place for the balanced growth of minds of those, who seek and those, who impart education.One of the crosscutting fields, in which the Institute takes the initiative to embark upon, is IT, especially with business and technology development orientation. The development in this field is well recognized and is being pursued vigorously by the Government of Pakistan in general and the Ministry of Science and Technology in particular.
