About the institute
NICS is one of Rawalpindi’s longer-running private computer education campuses. Students sit at their own machine. Trainers teach live — manuals are for revision after class, not a replacement for instruction.
Why students choose NICS
Every learner works at a dedicated PC. You practice in class instead of watching a demonstration from the back row.
Twelve students or fewer. Trainers can check your work, correct mistakes, and move at a pace that suits the room.
Short courses from Rs. 5,000 and a full DIT diploma at Rs. 30,750, payable in clear installments.
Bilal Plaza, Haider Road — a short walk from the old city and the main Saddar roads, open 9 AM to 7 PM.
