Library

The University has up-to-date reference material and a comprehensive collection of latest books and periodicals concerning computing and IT in its main library. The purchase/subscription of new books and journals for the Faculty is made through the main library. We are well aware and determined to help update the graduates with the fast moving changes and developments in their relevant fields of study/interest. An Online Digital Library Project is also under way. On completion of this project, our students will have easy access to the latest research and information in their relevant fields.

Campus Life


Co-Curricular Activities

Every possible facility for sports and cultural activity is provided to the students. The activities are regulated by Coordination Committee for Co-Curricular Activities (CCCA). Following societies are formed to promote cocurricular activities:

  • Al-Razi: College Magazine Society*

  • Sports Society

  • Debating Society

  • Razian Blood Donors Organization

  • Qirat/ Society

These societies are headed by the faculty members to guide the students

The Tutorial System

The College students are divided into groups, every group being up of a proportion of students from each year.

The group tutors comprise the Professors and Associate Professors of the college.

A student once placed in a group remains in that, until he leaves the college. Under no circumstances transfer of a student from one group to another is being permitted.

The tutor incharge of the group meets the respective group of students according to the schedule drawn by the Principal.
 

The objective of the tutorial group meetings is to keep the staff and students in touch with one another and to promote mutual good feeling and understanding. Each tutor is to look personally into all difficulties of students in the tutorial group (individually or collectively), which may be referred to him for opinion and advice.

Any complaint, which the College students may have with regard to the College life, are brought to the notice of their tutors in the first instance who enquire into the matter and bring these to the notice of the Principal, if necessary.

College Magazine is regularly published every year promoting literary skills of the students writers.
