Culture

April, 04, 2004 was a historic day for the residents of Attock City when a new campus of CUI was launched, to make it possible for the students of the far flung and under developed areas to take advantage of the opportunities of state - of – the – art education. The event was important for both CUI and Attock city because the dream of an IT institute was a distant dream come true. CUI’s presence in Attock has ensured the availability of professional academic skills not only to the locals of Attock but also to the adjoining areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Since then the Attock Campus has gained a commendable reputation among the CUI campuses all over the country.
