Every corner of Islamic University of Technology (IUT) seems to hold a story. The red bricks throughout the campus are not just building blocks; they stand as witnesses to countless memories that have shaped this institution.

The five pillars

Located near the Masjid-e-Zainab mosque, these are the five symbolic pillars each representing one of the five pillars of Islam.

Masjid-e-Zainab

Masjid-e-Zainab stands at the heart of the IUT campus. Apart from being a place of worship for IUT students, the mosque symbolises the spiritual foundation of the university's community.

Beyond academics, sports is a significant part of the students at IUT. The central field is the place where all the students gather to unwind themselves and enjoy leisure from the pressures of academic life.
