ISLAMABAD: National Skills University Islamabad (NSU) launched ‘MY NSU’ app on Tuesday, which provides information related to the university and facilitates students to access university timetables, GPA calculator, Chabot support and online fee payment processes.

According to a press release, this innovative undertaking, led by Founding Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Mohammad Mukhtar, underscores NSU’s commitment to fostering innovation in education through technology.

“With the unveiling of university’s innovative mobile application, ‘MY NSU’ a paradigm shift in academic and administrative operations is on the horizon. This project is being led by Chairperson of the Department of Information Engineering Technology Prof Dr Saud Altaf at the university. It is worth noting that the team comprises final-year students from the department,” the press release said.

It said this transformation is more than a technological upgrade; it is a comprehensive reimagining of how a university serves its students, faculty and visitors.

“From the moment you set foot on campus, digital tools will guide your experience, making navigation seamless and operations efficient,” it said, adding that university’s collaboration with Shenzhen Polytechnic University, China, a Unesco-Unevoc partner, is at the heart of this change, which brings global expertise to this local endeavour.

The app exemplifies the university’s vision for a digital-first future. Developed with cutting-edge technologies like Flutter and Firebase, the app integrates a suite of tools tailored to the needs of the NSU community.

A centralised timetable, SGPA/CGPA calculators, and intuitive campus maps are just the tip of the iceberg.

Real-time notifications, Chabot support, and online fee payment capabilities make it a comprehensive platform for managing academic and administrative tasks.
