fresh diploma holders in the environment of SUPARCO. Keeping in view the
present and future manpower needs, SITT was established in the year 2002
at SUPARCO, Karachi. Initially, diploma programs in the fields of
Electronics and Mechanical were introduced. It is an elite institution that offers
exceptional preparation for professionals that require technological
sophistication. Through a committed faculty and close personal attention, SITT
provides a challenging academic program in line with the rigor of the real world. Inter
professional projects prepare students for that world with interdisciplinary
approach that demands creativity as well as technical and industrial skills.
SITT is a recognized institute of training for Diploma of Associate Engineering (DAE)
in Electronics and Mechanical Trades and is affiliated with Sindh Board of Technical
Education (SBTE). Highly qualified and leading professionals of Electronics,
Electrical and Mechanical technologies form the Institute faculty. State-of-the-art
