Computing programmes and course outlines
SST's BS roadmaps use the HEC computing course codes and categories (computing core, domain core, general education, including Civics and Community Engagement and the Fehm-e-Quran courses), and the BS Computer Science page says the programme meets HEC criteria and maps its outcomes to the Seoul Accord attributes. UMT lists NCEAC on its accreditations page without naming which computing programmes are accredited, so no programme is marked accredited here.

Each link says how the company is tied to the university and where that is published. It is not a claim that the company hires only from here, or that a degree from here guarantees an interview.
How to actually get in
- Intermediate marks carry half the merit. Undergraduate merit is 50% intermediate, 30% entry test and 20% matric, so your FSc or ICS result matters more than the test.
- Clear 50% on the test for any SST programme (CS, SE, AI, Data Science, Cyber Security, IT).
- Budget for the whole degree. Fees are quoted as a 4-year total paid quarterly: about Rs. 2.29M for CS or AI, Rs. 2.19M for SE and Rs. 1.89M for Data Science or Cyber Security in 2026, plus a Rs. 30,000 admission fee and Rs. 5,000 per semester registration.
- Check the merit scholarship slabs. 85% or more in intermediate qualifies for 30 to 50% off tuition for a limited number of seats, and the waiver continues only while you keep the required CGPA.
- Pre-Medical students can join computing programmes but must take 6 credit hours of deficiency maths.
- Sialkot offers CS, SE, AI and IT on the same fee schedule.
About University of Management and Technology
UMT grew out of the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM), set up in 1990 by educationists, professionals and industrialists. The University of Management and Technology, Lahore Act 2004 was passed by the Provincial Assembly of the Punjab in May 2004, making it a private sector chartered university. The main campus is at C-II Johar Town, Lahore, and there is a campus in Sialkot.
Computing sits mainly in the School of Systems and Technology (SST), which runs BS programmes in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cyber Security, Information Technology, Blockchain Technology and Gaming and Immersive Media, a post-ADP BS Computer Science, weekend MS programmes in Computer Science, Software Engineering, AI, Data Science, Information Security, Information Technology and Software Project Management, and PhDs in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence. The School of Engineering runs BS Computer Engineering, and the College of Arts, Science and Technology (CASTECH) runs two-year associate degrees in Computer Science, AI and Software Engineering.
UMT's Office of Corporate Linkages and Placements (OCLP) runs an annual career fair, on-campus recruitment drives and a co-op programme that places students with employers in their final semester.

Every claim here is labelled
Admission dates, tests, merit formulas and fees change every cycle, and not all of it is published in one place. Every claim here is labelled with its source and how well established it is. Treat the university's own admissions page as the last word, and tell me when something is out of date.
Nobody pays to be listed here, and nothing on this page is sponsored. Universities cannot buy a higher position or have a profile removed on request, though I will correct anything that is wrong.
Applied to or studied at University of Management and Technology? Help the next student.
Dates move, tests change and fee structures are rewritten every year. If what you went through is different from this page, or something is missing, tell me and I will check it and update the page.
Stuck on something specific?
Writing only gets you so far. If you want an answer to your situation rather than the general case, book a session and we will work through it together. Sessions are free for approved Sefism members, and a few slots open each week.
