My young friends

I look forward to youth the real makers of

Pakistan, do not be exploited and do not be

misled. Create amongst yourselves complete

unity and solidarity. Set an example for what

youth can do. Your main occupation should be

in fairness to yourselves sin fairness to your

parents in fairness to the state to devote your

attention to your studies. If you fritter away

your energies now you will always regret. After

you leave the portals of your universities and

colleges then you can play your part freely and

build yourselves and the state.

INTRODUCTION

The University of Karachi was established in June1951 under the Karachi University

Act in a few dilapidated buildings in a congested area of Karachi. Later, an area of

1200 acres was acquired to set up a permanent Campus. After the completion of the

first phase of construction, the University was shifted at the present place in 1960.

Today the University is recognized as a premier centre of learning and research in

the Subcontinent and in the Third World. A number of scientists and scholars

affiliated with the University are working in important positions both within and

outside Pakistan and have won recognition and acclaim. One of the institutes of the

University has got the distinction of being made the Centre of the Third World

Academy of Sciences. Students from several foreign countries are also pursuing for

the Masters and Doctorate degrees. Because of high academic and research

standards of the University a large number of students from Karachi and other parts

of the country apply for admission here. Keeping in view a very high number of

applicants, the University has started evening classes in several departments at BS

and Masters levels and a Directorate of Evening Program was established to control

and run Evening Program. The schedule of Admissions under this program will be

announced separately through the national newspapers in the month of November

for BS program and in the month of May for Masters program (See appendix-B).

At present teaching in the University campus is conducted under six faculties:

Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Science, Faculty of Islamic Studies, Faculty of

Administrative and Management Sciences, Faculty of Engineering and Faculty of

Pharmacy. There are 52 departments and 17 research institutes/centres, which are

imparting education to more than 24,000 students including students from foreign

countries. The faculty comprises of more than 600 highly qualified and experienced

teachers; many of them have obtained higher degrees from abroad and enjoy a high

repute internationally. The non-teaching staff comprises more then 1700 people to

help with administrative and other matters.

The University of Karachi is also an affiliating and examining body and at present,

145 colleges and institutions are affiliated to the University. The courses of studies

for these institutions are approved by the University and examinations are also

conducted under its auspices. The University conducts examinations of about

150,000 students studying in these colleges/institutes, prepare their results and

award degrees.

conducts preparatory classes, every year, for those who wish to appear in the CSS

examinations or to develop proficiency in the English language.

Discipline Committee

There is a discipline committee to maintain law and order situation and to ensure a

proper academic environment. The Committee takes notice of the cases of

infringement of law and order, and undesirable activities at the campus, and takes

disciplinary action against the offenders. The Vice-Chancellor is Chairman of this

Committee while the Advisor Students' Affairs is its member secretary. The

Committee meets several times a year to review the prevailing law and order

DEPARTMENT OF APPLIED PHYSICS

Introduction The Applied Physics department was established in 1971. The objective was to teach

and train students to meet the growing technological needs of the industries of

Pakistan in the area of Applied Physics. Over the years emphasis has shifted toward

Electronics and semiconductor technology because of the growing demand of

technologically advanced industries in Pakistan. The syllabus has been continually

updated to keep abreast with development in the technology.

Our objective is to prepare students to take-on challenges of the fast growing

technologies in the field of Electronics and Semiconductors. The curriculum

provides in depth understanding of the subjects such as Analog and Digital

Electronics, Industrial Electronics, Semiconductor Devices, Communication systems

including Microwave and optical fiber communications. Microprocessor/

Microcontroller and Digital Signal Processors (DSP) are hubs of intelligent

electronic systems including computers and almost all state-of the-art equipment

used in Communications, Industrial and Medical applications use these devices. A

comprehensive scheme of study and applications is provided for these subjects.

To teach practical aspect of electronics and give hands-on experience, laboratories

have been equipped with latest equipments. Students are required to spend a

considerable time in the laboratories to develop in depth understanding of the

subject they study in classes. For this purpose separate laboratory courses are

designed. The laboratory training begins with circuits related to basic Analog

Electronics, progressively perform experiments on Digital Electronics, Industrial

Electronics and finally develop a single board computer based on microcontroller.

The students are also trained on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) through the

use of software and hardware simulators. Similarly, they are trained in the field of

communications using Communication training kits.

Facilities There has been continuous up gradation of laboratories in the department. In

addition to general purpose laboratories where students perform experiments on

circuits based on Analog and Digital electronics, separate laboratories are

established for training.

DEPARTMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

Introduction Biotechnology is defined as the application of biological systems to basic and technical and

industrial processes. These processes are based on the use of some form of biological

catalyst in the conversion of a substrate to a desired product. These biological catalysts are

as simple as enzymes or highly complex microorganisms or eukaryotic cells.

Biotechnology includes a wide range of activities. Each activity is associated with its own

starting material (bacterial, fungal, yeast, plant, or animal cells or enzymes), technical

manipulation (cell fusion, cell or enzyme immobilization, genetic engineering, etc.),

processes (continuous or batch fermentation), and scale (small to very large), which are unique to that activity.

Scope of Biotechnology

Biotechnology can be viewed as a group of useful, enabling technologies with wide and

diverse applications. It has large, highly profitable, modern industrial outlets of great value

to society e.g. DNA recombinant technology, most revolutionary branch of the modern

science and have a profound impacts on medicine, contributing to the diagnosis and cure of

hereditary defects and serious diseases. The development of new biopharmaceutical drugs

and vaccines for human and animal use. The modification of microorganisms, plants and

farmed animals for improved and tailored food production and to increased opportunities for

environmental remediation and protection. New technologies dealing with plant and animal

breeding are much faster and have lower costs. Genetically modified crops are growing

exponentially. The field is further exemplified with the industrial production of enzymes

like proteases, amylases, celluloses, lipases etc. industrial manufacturing plants for milk and

milk products, alcohols, organic acids, antibiotics, vitamins, growth promoting factors,

monoclonal antibodies etc.

THE DEPARTMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY

The Department of Biotechnology was established in 1996 with the specific objective of

imparting quality education in the multidisciplinary field of Biotechnology at both

undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL TECHNOLOGY /

ENGINEERING

INTRODUCTION Chemical Engineering deals with the application of physical sciences particularly

Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics to the process of converting raw materials or

chemicals into useful and valuable forms at competitive prices. Chemical

Engineering being a dynamic field is also concerned with the introduction of useful

products, new materials and techniques, with due support of extensive research and

development.

Chemical Engineering largely involves in the Design, Production and Maintenance

of Chemical Process Industries. The development of the large-scale processes

characteristic of industrial economics is also an important feature of Chemical

Engineering. Indeed, Chemical Engineers are responsible for the availability of the

modern high-quality materials that are essential for running an industrial economy.

In 1970 the Department of Applied Chemistry was established. To be more

industrially oriented a programme of Bachelor in Chemical Technology, a four years

degree course, was launched from the same Department in 1985. A separate

Chemical Engineering Department was established in 2004. From January 2007 the

Department is offering B.E. in Chemical Engineering.

LABORATORIES AND RESEARCH FACILITIES The department is equipped with appropriate number of laboratories and workshop

facilities. Practicals are conducted as per prescribed course outline. Efforts to strengthen the

laboratories are being made. Approval for Workshop and Engineering Laboratories building

has been given and construction would soon begin. A development plan has been submitted

for building, equipments and faculty development to Higher Education Commission.

DEGREE

4 years B.E. degree in Chemical Engineering.

Career Opportunities There is a large range of employment opportunities for Chemical Engineers from large

transnational companies to small locally based industries, from Petrochemicals to wet

processing of Textiles. Many Chemical Engineers work as consultants sometimes managing

their own companies.

the year 1995; Department started MCS evening program, on self-finance basis, to cater the growing demand of professionally skilled manpower in the field of Computer Science.

To further strengthen the discipline of Computer Science by producing high quality pro with

sound fundamental knowledge. the department has started in the year 1996 and 2001 BS

(Computer Science) in the morning and evening, a four year degree program leading to MS

(Computer Science), a two year program after completing the BS. The University of

Karachi has excellent supporting faculty in the subjects of Mathematics, Statistics, Physics

and other allied subjects for teaching these courses at BS (Computer Science) level. The

first batch of BS (Computer Science) of the morning program passed in 1999.

The Department of Computer Science offers a wide range of courses at various levels. The

purpose of these courses is to provide opportunities for advanced studies and research in the

field of Computer Science and information Technology and related fields, and also to produce highly skilled computer personnel to cater the need of Computer professionals in

the country and abroad. The Department maintains high standard of education through

continuous assessment and with periodic tests, quizzes, seminars and field projects. The

Department maintains close link with professional organizations at national and

international levels, to enhance professional and academic standard of the faculty and as

well as of the students.

Curriculum Policy: The contents of courses offered are revised after every two years and books are

recommended to cope with the rapid developments which are taking place in Computer

Science and Information Technology. BS (Computer Science) and MS (Computer Science)

curricula have been redesigned in the light of recommendations of Task Force (on the

Curriculum for Computer Science Programs for general Universities of Sindh) constituted

by the universities of Sindh in August 1977 and new education policy of Govt. of Pakistan and the recommendations of University Grants Commission on the curriculum of Computer

Science degree programs.

Thus all the curricula of Department of Computer Science are developed for CS/IT on the

following policy:

32

“Curriculum should be made flexible so as to be responsive to the changing g structure of

the market. The curricula shall encourage thinking, creativity and project construction

ability. The curricula of CS/IT shall be made comparable with international standards and

matching the needs of the next century by developing libraries, laboratories, and above all

teaching staff”.

INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES

Introduction The Institute was established in 1982. This is the oldest and pioneering Institute in the field

of which is offering M.Phil and Ph.D degrees since then. Keeping in view the acute shortage

of specialists it has started offering M.Sc. Postgraduate Diploma and Certificate courses

since 1996. 1 he Institute provides excellent air-conditioned lecture hall, environmental

laboratories, library and audiovisual facilities for the students. It is recognized as a technical

Focal Point on Environmental Health Activities of WHO/EMRO and has been organizing

WHO sponsored Workshops related to various environmental health and pollution problems

with the collaboration of the Ministry of Health.

The subject of environment is multidisciplinary in nature. The solution of environmental

and related problems therefore requires the efforts of social scientists, health care personals,

engineers, microbiologists, chemists, biologists and agriculturists. Medical profession

although very much concerned with the health of the community also but it alone can not

effectively solve environmental health problems. Civil engineers although taught about the

public health engineering courses hut the\ lack the knowledge and expertise for solving the

problems of environmental engineering involving the principles of biology, microbiology

and chemistry etc.

Therefore, there is a need to evolve and develop a course at the post-graduate level, which

will involve the elements and fundamental principles of medicine, engineering and science for the solution of environmental problems and issues with a practical approach for solving

such problems of developing countries. In other words the proposed M.Sc., degree in

Environmental Science will bridge the gap that exists between courses in Community

Medicine and Public Health and Environmental Engineering.

In order to control environmental pollution the Government of Pakistan has enacted

Environmental Protection Act and has already implemented National Environmental Quality

Standards (NEQS) with effect from 1 .July. 1996. Karachi being the biggest industrial base

with two major harbours has several thousand small and large industrial units is facing acute

environmental degradation and deterioration problems. Although most of these industries have the desire to improve the quality of their effluent but due to paucity of expertise and

professionals they can not do much to improve the situation. For checking and

implementation of NEQS nearly 3000 environmental managers will be required in 10 years

time.

Apart from regular teaching programs the Institute has been regularly organizing short term

training activities for in-service personnel and for those who are involved in research and

development programs. The Mission of the Institute is to produce highly skilled man power

who could handle contemporary issues related to environment and well being of man kind,

disseminate, apply and use knowledge of environment and related fields to meet basic

human needs. improve environment quality and to meet Millennium Development Goals

(MDG).

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

INTRODUCTION

The Government of Pakistan and the US Government Technical Aid Program in

collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania, USA, considering the future

requirements and significance of trained managers, established an Institute of Business and

Public Administration (IBPA) at the University of Karachi in 1955. This Institute served for

a couple of years but later it suspended its Pubic Administration program. Realizing the

value and need for Public Administration as a separate professional course, the University of

Karachi initiated a two-years Master in Public Administration (MPA) degree program in

1985, Bachelors in Public Administration (BPA) in 1997 and Masters in Administrative (MAS) in 1999. The Department is also running a post graduate Diploma Program

(PGDPA). In near future the Department is planning to introduce few new programs such as

Diploma in Human Resource Management, Master’s in Human Resource Management,

Diploma in Labour laws and Administration, Diploma in Urban Studies and Diploma in

Hospital Administration.

The philosophy behind these programs is to prepare the future managers to take up the challenges of practical world and to help the students to understand the managerial tasks that

come up in real life situations. MPAs and MAS have double advantage over the other

graduates as they are not only aware of the administrative issues of public sector but also

trained how to tackle the administrative dilemmas that confront the pnvate sector. And this

is the specialty of this program. Gone are the days when a MPAs / MAS were supposed to

be an individual busy in dealing with governmental affairs. Now, a MPAs / MAS are a real

professional of the modern public and private sectors.

MPAs / MAS today are playing a pivotal role in progress of different ill groom

organizations and looking at the future demands of professional it can be me you Let

predicted that Public Administration graduates will continue playing their major role in the

development of economy and country both.

Today, the Department has a professional body of highly experienced and devoted faculty

members. Its premise has all necessary arrangements that turn an ordinary building into a

place where knowledge seekers can quench their thirst. Its library has a large collection of

an educational treasure that guides future administrators. Its computer lab has a big set-up of

latest equipment that helps students get ready for the challenges of 21 century.

PART III. Reading Comprehension

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

A very important world problem which affects us at the moment is the increasing number of

people who actually inhabit this planet. The limited amount of land and land resources will

soon be unable to support the huge population if it continues to grow at its present rate.

In a survey conducted in 1888, a billion and a half people inhabited the earth. Now, the

population exceeds five billion and is growing fast - by the staggering figure of 90 million in

1988 alone. Most experts believe the population size will still pass eight billion during the

next 50 years.

So why is this huge increase in population taking place? It is really due to the spread of the

knowledge and practice of what is becoming known as "Death Control". "Death Control"

recognizes the work of the doctors and scientists who now keep alive people who, not very

long ago, would have died of a variety of then incurable diseases. Through a wide variety of

technological innovations that include farming methods and sanitation, as well as the control of these deadly diseases, we have found ways to reduce the rate at which we die - creating a

population explosion.

It is a very common belief that the problems of the population explosion are caused mainly

by poor people living in poor countries who do not know enough to limit their reproduction.

This is not true. The actual number of people in an area is not as important as the effect they

have on nature. Developing countries do have an effect on their environment, but it is the

populations of richer countries that have a far greater impact on the earth as a whole.

The birth of a baby in, for example, Hong Kong, imposes more than a hundred times the

amount of stress on the world's resources as a baby in India. Most people in India do not

grow up to own cars or air-conditioners - nor do they eat the huge amount of meat and fish

that the Hong Kong child does. Their life-styles do not require vast quantities of minerals

and energy. Also, they are aware of the requirements of the land around them and try to put

something back into nature to replace what they take out. The Hong Kong person simply

takes without any thought as to what effect he is having on nature.

In short then, it is everybody's duty to safeguard the future of mankind - not only through

population control, but by being more aware of the effect his actions have on nature. Nature

is both fragile and powerful. It is very easily destroyed; on the other hand, it can so easily

destroy its most aggressive enemy - man.

1. Suggest a suitable title for the passage.

2. What does 'it' refer to in line 3?

i. important world problem

ii. increasing number

63

iii. limited amount of land

iv. huge population.

3. Which of the following does 'Their' refer to in paragraph 5?

i. babies in India

ii. babies in Hong Kong iii. cars and air-conditioners

iv. the world's resources

4. What reason has the author given behind the increase of the population? Use your

own words.

5. The writer's main purpose in paragraph 5 is to argue that:

i. people in developed countries generally have more impact on nature than

others

ii. Hong Kong children are generally better off than children born in India

iii. Hong Kong children consume too much of the world's resources

iv. people from some countries are more selfish than others in their consumption

of resources

6. Which of the following could replace 'on the other hand' (paragraph 6) without

changing the meaning:

i. Besides

ii. Furthermore

iii. While

iv. However

7. Based on information in the passage, which of the following would the writer

probably recommend:

i. increasing food and industrial production, and encouraging people in

undeveloped countries to have fewer children

ii. improving education about the environment and banning the export of wood

products from poor to rich countries

iii. encouraging people worldwide to have fewer children and to behave in a

more responsible way towards nature

iv. restricting population worldwide and increasing the use of nonrenewable

resources

Provide meaning of the underlined words with reference to the context.
