The Bahauddin Zakariya University is a general university, providing education in Arts and Science. Since agriculture is the mainstay of this region (the place and its environs produce the country’s best silver crop (cotton) and fruit crops like mangoes, citrus, and dates), it was considered expedient to train manpower for solving agriculture problems. Accordingly, a College of Agriculture was established in 1989. The College of Agriculture and its complement, an Engineering College, form an integral part of the University Plan. The College of Engineering & Technology was established in 1994. Department of Commerce was started in November 1996. BBA classes were started in the Department of Business Administration in October 1996. Bachelor of Computer Science was introduced in the Department of Computer Science in November 1996, though Masters in Computer Science (MCS) was already running since 1989. B.Sc.
