GATEWAY PROGRAM

3+1 PROGRAM

At the National Institute of Technology (NIT) Powered by ASU,, students have two powerful pathways to success. They can complete their full undergraduate program at NIT and earn a recognized Pakistani degree with curriculum enhanced by ASU content, or choose to participate in the groundbreaking 3+1 dual degree program in partnership with Arizona State University (ASU). Through the 3+1 option, students spend three years at NIT and their final year at ASU—either online or on campus—graduating with two degrees: one from NIT and one from ASU.
