DERA GHAZI KHAN: Smartphones uploaded with curriculum will be delivered to the faculty and students on their admission to the university.

This was stated by newly-appointed Vice Chancellor of Ghazi University, Prof Muhammad Khalique Ahmed, here on Saturday at a welcome ceremony organised by the Urdu department.

He said the university was planning to give iphones with curriculum and books apps to students to convert the campuses into cyber campuses.

He said the students and faculty would be in contact round the clock and students could use respective e-books.

He said students would have to bear a nominal cost and they could save money spent on purchase of expensive books.

The VC said he himself was using iphone technology to remain linked with international academicians and PhD students.

He said the existing library would be converted into a modern one equipped with cyber technology.

Earlier, the vice chancellor inaugurated the model class room equipped with all cyber facilities.
