Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute - GIKI Speciality : Chemical Engineering
programme: Chemical Engineering

GIKI offers one of the challenging environment to its students. Faculty and staff are highly cooperative. It’s a fully residential institute. The exams are quite tough, to get good grades student has to put extra effort. GIKI offers merit and financial aid scholarships. In my opinion, paying for GIKI tuition fee is not worth it, if student has plans to stay in Pakistan. But again, GIKI graduates gets better chances of employment in multinational companies within Pakistan. There are many active societies. Life at GIKI is wholesome.

Apart from having topnotch education, GIK Institute is all about its campus life. Located in a small rural town,Topi, KPK (near Tarbela dam), GIK Institute attracts students from all over Pakistan who live on campus: in hostels.
Administration is fairly cooperative and studies are pretty tough considering that the grading is relative and not absolute. GIK offers engineering related and management sciences related programmes. Through 25+ societies that are active throughout the year, it provides all the opportunities one can need in order to pursue his/her passion (engineering or arts related) while studying for the opted degree. What we all find difficult at first is adjusting to its environment and keeping a balance between studies and extra curricular activities. GIK Institute is also endorsed with the ‘Washington Accord’ (search it up if you don’t know what it is) which makes its degree more valuable to companies for employment purposes and international educational bodies for higher education. With nation’s one of the best laboratories, buildings and strongest alumni, this place tests you, polishes you and prepares you to thrive in every aspect: your future is safe if you somehow manage to graduate from here.
P.s. This might not matter to most of you but to those it does; this place is very scenic with breath taking sunsets/ dawns all year around.
