What Is the Capital University of Science & Technology (CUST) Website?

Updated

cust.edu.pk is the official website of the Capital University of Science & Technology (CUST), a private university located in Islamabad. The site serves as the university's main public information hub: it presents academic programs, admissions guidance, research activity, and campus services. It is an institutional information and admissions site, not a learning platform or student portal—those functions sit in separate linked systems such as the VLE Portal and Online Fee Payment.

What the site is for

The homepage and navigation are organized around the questions a prospective student, current student, or researcher would ask:

  • Choosing a program — the "Find Your Program" entry point leads into the faculties and departments.
  • Applying — admissions pages cover eligibility criteria, selection criteria, the prospectus, sample papers, FAQs, and scholarships.
  • Studying and administering — academic policies, academic calendar, registration, examination, graduate studies, and student affairs offices.
  • Research — ORIC (Office of Research, Innovation and Commercialization) pages, journal and conference publications, and thesis repositories.

Practical notes for visitors

  • Prospective students should start with Admissions, read the eligibility and selection criteria for the specific department, and download the prospectus and sample papers before applying.
  • Current students will find administrative links (registration, examination, fee payment, digital library, VLE) under My Capital and Capital Online.
  • Researchers can use the ORIC section to review publications, R&D projects, and the MS/PhD thesis repositories.
  • The site does not publish tuition figures or payment details on the pages reviewed; fee-related actions route through the Online Fee Payment link, which may require login. Check directly with the university for current costs and deadlines.

In short, cust.edu.pk is the front door to CUST: use it to evaluate programs and admissions requirements, then follow its links into the specific administrative or learning systems you need.
