Message from the Chancel lor

Message from the Chancellor
It is a source of great pleasure and satisfaction for me to see that Biztek has completed one decade and has now started marching towards new horizons with the aim of exploring new avenues in education. We are fervently trying to provide a well educated, professionally well-skilled and technically advanced new generation to our beloved Pakistan. Our commitment to the cause of education with professional development of the younger generation has given us the first fruit in the shape of the 'A' ranking by the Higher Educat ion Commission and grading of 5 star University by the Government of Sindh. We also have an outstanding and prominent faculty to educate and train the youth and professionals. It is worth noting that our Rector, Dr. Muhammad Ali Siddiqui, has been awarded 'Sitara-e-Imt iaz' by the Government of Pakistan on his outstanding work as an academician in education and literature. Our Rector is a Social Scientist of international repute.The rest of the faculty is highly reputed in their respective fields. We are not only emphasising on imparting better education but also focusing on co-curricular act ivit ies which are essent ial for the healthy growth and intellectual development of the students. In view of the needs and requirements of the present day world, we have introduced an array of multi disciplinary curriculums at Biztek, so that the students having interest in various disciplines can get degree level education in the related fields of important disciplines. Life in today's dynamic world is extremely competitive. Those of us who are continuously striving to maintain the universal standards of progress in educat ion and professional development, and understanding the market requirements are on the path of success. Challenges keep surfacing in our lives and the challenge of tackling them 03 requires a continuous effort and determination of will, ability, strength, dedication and faith. Accomplishing one's goals and turning our aspirations into reality requires tremendous discipline, mental alertness, hard work and capability in making realistic judgments. It requires conviction and affirmation of a profession to achieve the required excellence. Achieving the unachievable is not by accident but through dedicated focus and concentration. It is my firm belief that students who are prepared to go beyond the required curricula or assignments will definitely achieve their full potential and ultimate distinction. Be a student as long as you have something to learn, and this means all your life. You will be pleased to know that Biztek has developed its own unique criteria for admission process in comparison to the private institutions of higher learning. Our steadfast belief in Allah and our mission to educate our fel low beings has aided us in conquering many achievements. On our path to achieving the vision, we have achieved ISO 9001: 2008 Certification. We are grateful to Allah for all the rewards bestowed upon Biztek and seek His blessings. We are moving forward to line up to our vision based on global perspectives. Our mission is defined on global parameters, and the pace is set for developing our human resources. We, at Biztek, are committed to making this nation one of the most dynamic members of the community, with your efforts and blessings of Allah Almighty. Wish you best of luck.

Message from President Asif Al i Zardari President of the Islamic Republ ic of Pakistan
The need for high quality educational institutions in the country has existed since long. Keeping in view the growing needs for higher education and limited resources at the disposal of the Government, the Government decided to promote private sector institutions in Sindh, and the establishment of Institute of Business & Technology (Biztek) is a welcome step in this direction. Its heartening to see the private sector in Pakistan is sharing responsibility with the public sector for setting up good educational facilities in the country. Education is the key to the development and growth of a country. Im glad to know that good teaching facilities in important disciplines like management, computer science & engineering are coming up with the initiative of the private sector. I therefore expect that the Institute of Business and Technology would develop into a premier institution of the country. I expect the faculty and students of this institution to do their utmost to promote and propagate national objectives and inculcate the spirit of patriotism. May Allah be with you in your endeavors. Ameen

Asif Ali Zardari President Pakistan.

Message from the Governor of Sind h Dr. Ishrat Ul Ebad Khan

I am glad to observe that the Institute of Business & Technology has made the positive substantial impact and has established its roots firmly for the cause of literacy. Improvement is always from within and education is the catalyst that promotes changes leading to improvement. We have to continuously evolve our process in a rational and reasonable way. It is indeed a dauntless task to continue with discipline, concentration and education. The developed nations of today and nations that left their mark in history have pursued the quest for knowledge. The syllabus and the cumulative programme offered at the Institute of Business & Technology is exceptionally formulated and imparted in conjunction with faculty which is professionally associated with the programme. This technique enables students to obtain current market exposures as they enter the professional life. It is encouraging to know that the alumni of Biztek is making an impact in their chosen careers with education received from Biztek and that Biztekians are contributing in various spheres of financial, human resources, technology, communication, mass media, healthcare and governmental bodies. I congratulate the management, faculty and students in advancing towards educational journey. Dr. Ishrat Ul Ebad Khan Governor Sindh Patron.

Message from the Chairperson H.E.C Dr. Javaid R. Laghari (T.I.)

I am pleased to see that the private sector is helping the Government in imparting knowledge to our new generations. The public sector alone cannot meet all the requirements of higher education in the country. In this connection setting up of Institute of Business & Technology is an important step, and I congratulate the management for establishing Biztek, a Chartered Institute recognised by the Higher Education Commission (HEC). I wish all the success to Biztek and expect that it will soon establish a leading position in the field of education.

Message from Rector

Message from Rector
I would like to share with you my innermost wishes as to what I expect from an academic institution to work for the realisation of optimum potential of its students' learning goals. In my opinion an academic institution should be known for its dedicated faculty living upto the challenges of imparting the right kind of education which an aspiring society needs in all of its cultural, economic & intellectual spheres of life. Not with standing a society's stage of social development, an academic institution should be striving for the attainment of scales of perfection which developed societies have set for themselves. I fervently believe in working for meeting the challenges of the 21st century in order to achieve the aims and object ives of cut-and-dried parameters of excellence in the process of globalisat ion. The students joining us will be expected to promote the culture of forebearence and excellence which is the cornerstone of the mission. The Institute of Business & Technology has been pursuing for over a decade as one of the highest ranking inst itut ion which the management has earmarked for them. In view of the needs and demands of the growing media in Pakistan, we have introduced media sciences in Biztek and Social Sciences as a composite program. We have also decided to start the Ph.D program in management & social sciences. Besides air-conditioned classrooms, well-equipped laboratories and auditorium, Biztek is also providing facilities of a well stocked library with online facility having access to the world's best libraries and to more than 17,500 research journals. We also subscribe to international and national periodicals in English and Urdu. Biztek, by organizing seminars and symposia, seeks to enhance the capacity of its students. We have organized a number of seminars on the current socio-economic situations, pre and post - budget analysis and close liasion with trade and industry. We, at Biztek, are endeaving to assure parents and, through them, the society all of us are a part of. For us a harmonious development of intellectual, moral and mental strengths of our students is the sine qua non of quality education. In short, this is what we expect our students to achieve with the effective guidance of a caring and competent faculty. Dr. Muhammad Ali Siddiqui (S.I.) Rector.

About Biztek
Prof ile, History and Accompl ishments
Our aspirations for excellence met many adversaries on its way. The journey that we started with a single step has covered a long distance in a short span of time. We accelerated our momentum without any compromise on the quality edification standards and knowledge dissemination process. We have developed a distinctive academic culture, uncommon in other private institutes of higher learning. This was only possible because of our f irm belief in the Almighty Allah and unshakable confidence in our noble cause for educating the nation, which helped us to overcome apparently insurmountable obstacles amicably. On our way to perfection, we have been rewarded with many admirations like placement in top most category by the Higher Educat ion Commission (HEC) of Pakistan, degree awarding status by Government of Sind h and ISO 9001:2008 Certification. The eminence and performance are judged based on international parameters. The admirably stocked library with online facilities have unlimited access to world's best-stocked libraries and more than 17,500 online research journals. The state of the art research center, air-conditioned classrooms, well equipped auditorium, multimedia teaching aids, motivational student-teacher interaction, conversation based teaching system, highly qualified, capable, well groomed and well experienced faculty, sports grounds and courts, all merit to the distinction of Biztek. Biztek expanded its infrastructure by building, an East Wing building inaugurated by Dr. Hameeda Khoro, Provincial Minister of Education of Sindh. Stone Laying of West Wing building was graced by His Excellency Mr Shaukat Aziz, Prime Minister of Pakistan. Work is in progress for starting construction of North Wing building. Biztek is not only expanding its infrastructure at the Main Campus, but new campuses are opening to give an opportunity to individuals to be a part of our success story and get quality education at their door step. Due to the rapid growth of Biztek facilities and commitment for the best, the future of Biztek is extremely bright. As part of our expansion plan, Biztek has already opened its Shahrah-e-Faisal Campus, Gulshan Campus and Nazimabad Campus. Considering the commitment and efforts shown by the Management of Biztek, we have already been allotted 50 acres of land at Malir Educat ion City. Work is in progress on this Malir Education City campus and on commissioning, this will be a state of the art multifaceted, multidimensional university having boarding facilities for students, and resident ial facilit ies for its staff.

Those who fail to meet minimum requirements of a program may be offered a place in another program that they may be eligible for. The Admissions Department, if requested, may provide general information on the reasons for being unsuccessful but will not usually be able to give detailed feedback. The decision of the Committee is final. Prospectus may be obtained from the Admissions Office at the campus.

Graduation Requirement A student is entitled to graduate, if he or she completes all prescribed course work, lab work, reports, assignments, projects/thesis etc. and attains a CGPA of 2.5 or above in case of Undergraduate Programs and 3.0 in case of Graduate Programs. Transcripts / Student Records A copy of academic record is provided at the end of each semester. An official transcript of the entire academic record is provided upon submission of a written request from the student along with the requisite fee. However, on-line Information System allows students to access their records from virtually anywhere, though, for official transcripts they have to contact Examination department. Official transcripts are handed over in 15 working days, however, in exceptional cases it may be provided on urgent basis on payment of the urgent transcript fee. Specializations Biztek offers optimized specializations in accordance with the changing need and demands of working professionals. The motive for a personalized program is to offer the working individuals short courses that are relevant to their requirements. Biztek uses a combination of standard and tailored curricula to provide greater flexibility, an interdisciplinary, but focused curriculum that enable students to participate effectively in addressing various trends of the marketplace. Students can take courses in various academic fields being offered at Biztek that integrate that knowledge with their practical professions. Other specializations are being developed and students can have an opportunity to take specializations based on their interests. Single Major Major means the fields in which the student wants to build his/her career. There are a variety of majors offered at Biztek in which students can enroll themselves. Students are required to choose their majors at the time of admissions. Once the major is chosen, it can only be changed during the following semester and conditions apply. A specific reason is required to be mentioned for the change of major. Majors can not be changed during semesters or after the second semester. Dual Specialization After successful completion of BBA program, a student can avail the dual specialization facility by taking one more semester for the chosen specialization. For specialization, a student has to complete 4 advanced courses in the chosen discipline. If student wants to choose a dual specialization / bi-major option, he/she has to select atleast two more subjects from the discipline of his/her chosen specialization. In the final semester of MBA degree program, a student will choose a subject from specialization category. If a student wants to choose a dual specialization / bi major option, he has to select at least two more subjects from the disciplines of his/her specialization. Assessment Assessment is comprised of two quizzes, one assignment, one midterm and one final examination besides other evaluation parameters. Each semester is of 16 to 18 weeks of duration and in order to maintain the high quality education, student's knowledge is assessed on a regular basis. Therefore, to secure good grades it is essential that students take their studies seriously from the very beginning of the semester. Evaluation Criteria In order to ensure that the students do not study just at the end of the term and earn good grades, continuous assessment process takes place throughout the semester. Surprise quizzes, assignments, class discussions, midterms, seminars, events participation, Biztekian Vision participation, etc. all contribute to achievement of worthy grades. At Biztek, students' performance evaluation is done in a unique way. Biztek believes that business executives should be all-rounder. Therefore, in addition to classroom performance through quizzes and exams, students are expected to complete and present an assignment each semester. Students may also participate in Biztek's in house magazine i.e. Biztekian Vision in the form of original creative write-ups. To give students an exposure in terms of academic as well as non-academic activities (e. g. seminars, workshops, musical evenings), their presence and participation are considered mandatory and their attendance are marked and recorded for further assessment and consideration. This exercise helps them to remain alert in terms of participation and knowledge gain. 19

Academic System

Academic System
Credit Hour In semester system, the credit hours are counted. Theoretically, one credit hour is equivalent to 1 hour of teaching per week, and 1 lab hour is 2 hours of practical for a full 16-18 weeks semester. . Course Load The Course Load is defined as number of credit hours for which a student is registered in a semester. The academic course load varies according to his/her GPA. In the first semester the course load is pre-assigned by the academics department. Pre-Requisite It is the course which must be completed before taking a main course in a program of study. Some courses have prerequisites, which must be cleared first. Failure to clear prerequisites will result in the course cancellation and 'F' grade will be awarded. Add/Drop Course(s) Students may add or drop courses within a prescribed time frame subject to the approval of Academics Department. Course can only be dropped if there is a clash of timing with any other course or it has been completed previously. To add a course student should have the required GPA. Add/Drop facility is not available in the first semester. Transfer of Credit hours Students seeking admission at Biztek may be given an opportunity to transfer credit hours from recognized institutions. The request for transfer of credit hours may be submitted at the beginning of the program so that credits may be adjusted as per curriculum. The original documents of the semester passed and courses qualified should be submitted at the time of admission. Transfer of credits is the prerogative of the university. Semester Drop Semester Drop means that students can skip the regular semester for certain specific reasons. The request for drop of semester is to be submitted before the beginning of the semester. Coursework & Research Work Requirements The graduate & postgraduate programs include both coursework and research work. Research work can only begin after completion of the required coursework for MBA, MS or PhD programs. This research work will involve extensive input of knowledge and data related to practical world focusing towards some specific problems and recommendations in terms of proper solution to it. For this research work, the student has to select the Advisor to whom he/she will be liable to show the research progress on regular basis. On completion of research, the student will have to submit that report for final assessment. Teaching Methodologies At Biztek, quality is everyone's responsibility. The Institute has adopted new teaching methods focusing on developing analytical reasoning abilities as well as practical skills and knowledge of relevant disciplines. In order to improve the learning experience, Biztek considers it important to find out how the students are learning and how they view their learning environment. Students differ in their learning styles and they also differ in their views of what constitutes "good teaching". Student's feedback, gained through evaluation, has helped teachers to improve both their own teaching, and the learning experiences of their students. The main forms of teaching include: . . . . . Lectures/Case Methodology Seminars Workshops Conferences Small groups teaching

* Students cannot skip two consecutive semesters without prior approval, or their admissions will stand cancelled without prior intimation.

Examination System
Incomplete (I) Grades Incomplete grades are only held for those students who fail to appear in the final examinations for some genuine reasons. Students requesting Incomplete (I) grade should seek approval from the Academic Department, which will ensure that the student meets attendance and other evaluation requirements. If the Final paper is attempted, no student may apply for an I Grade. The grade must be resolved in the first available semester otherwise 'F' grade will be awarded. GPA and CGPA GPA is the Grade Point Average and CGPA is the Cumulative Grade Point Average. GPA expresses student's academic achievement in each semester numerically. The GPA is calculated by adding the grade points for all courses in a semester and then dividing it by the total number of courses opted in a semester. The GPA ranges from 0.00 to a maximum of 4.00. CGPA is calculated by adding credit points earned for all the courses completed and dividing it by the total number of courses attempted in all the semesters. Semester Grade Points Average (GPA) is computed as follows:

GPA = Sum of (credit hour x grade point) Total credit hours

Scrutiny / Rechecking of Final Examination Papers The Institute has a policy of fair dealings and encourages fairness in the checking of answer scripts of students. Thus students who feel that their final examination paper was not correctly marked, he/she may apply for Scrutiny / Rechecking of the paper on prescribed application form after paying the required fee. This is to be done within a week of the announcement of results. In case of scrutiny, the paper is checked for any totaling errors. When applied for rechecking, the paper is rechecked by two different instructors and average of the marks given by the three examiners is allotted to the students. Makeup Mid Term Make up midterm exams are only held for those students who fail to appear due to some genuine reasons. Applications have to be forwarded to the Academics Department with proper reasons for not appearing. Academics Department reserves the right to approve or disapprove such cases. Students may apply for makeup mid term exam as per the academic calendar. Credit by Challenge If after enrolling for a course, student feels that he/she has already studied the contents of that particular course, he/she may appear for a challenge exam.

Career Counsel ing

Career Counseling Career counseling helps students discover their true potential and interest in various subjects in order to help them choose the right career. The guidance given to a student is based on three deciding factors -- personality, aptitude and interest. Career counseling given at Biztek aims at discussing the pros and cons of each profession with the student and the family, so that a well-informed decision can be taken jointly. If students feel confused about which field to step into, or concerned about whether they are suited to a particular career they can easily seek help from the career counselors. Information of vacancies in organizations is provided to the students/alumni via the bulletin boards and e-groups. The resumes are reviewed and the paperwork is facilitated by the department.

The focus is on personal development of the students through academic, social, cultural, and recreat ional act ivit ies. All students are encouraged to part icipate in these act ivit ies. The importance of practical work experience cannot be emphasized and therefore the students are encouraged to volunteer at all events. This provides hands-on-training and strengthen their resumes. Students are also provided guidance for participating in various national and international events. Event Management Department The Event Management Department is responsible for enriching students with co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. To enhance their professional development and to groom their personality different Conferences, Seminars, Workshops, Talk shows and Debates on a range of subjects are regularly arranged.

It has been proven that the classroom lectures need to be complemented with library consultations. Lectures are understood only after adequate assimilation at the library. Therefore, library is an essential element of all our campuses where admirably stocked libraries remain open during working hours. Our libraries also give access to internet enabling students to refer to internet while referring books at library. There are four sections of this library:
