Apart from mobile manufacturing companies, mobile SIMs and internet services providers have played an important role in this regard. Zong has been rated as Pakistan’s fastest telecom service. We want that students effectively use mobile and internet for the development of education and research. This will provide an opportunity to interact with other universities worldwide and benefit from their research work.”
