The City of Lahore
Once walled and contained within thirteen
gates, the city of Lahore has now expanded into
a mega city with a population count of nearly ten
million. This historic city has been an important
seat of power in diferent eras. It was the capital
city for the Ghaznavids rule in the 12th century;
for the Mughals in the 16th century; the Sikhs in
the 19th century and the regional capital during
the British rule in the 19th and the 20th
centuries.
The ageless landmarks of Lahores historical
journey stretch across the suburbs of the city.
Badshahi Mosque, Lahore Fort, Shalimar
Gardens, mausoleums of Jahangir and
The Lahore Museum was established in 1864 in Lahore on Mall Road in front of Punjab University.
Noorjahan continue to be silent yet eloquent
historians of their times. Similarly, the British
Gothic structures like the Lahore High Court, the
General Post Ofce, Lahore Museum are the
concrete footprints of the British rule here.
What can be termed as a positive contribution by
the British rulers for the betterment of the
people of Lahore and the region was the
establishment of some of the outstanding
educational institutions over the soil of Lahore.
These include King Edward Medical College in
1860, Government College, Lahore in 1864, the
University of the Punjab in 1882, and Kinnaird
College in 1913, in addition to scores of other
learning institutes of diferent disciplines.
Ever since, Lahore has been the centre and
source of remarkable economic, cultural and
academic progress in the region. It is called the
city of colleges, having the largest number of
learning institutions on its soil. Amongst them is
also the University of Central Punjab, that is
remarkably playing its part in augmenting the
academic standards in the city as well as in the
country.
The city, over a relatively brief period of time, has
made huge progress in the feld of journalism,
too. Hosts of TV stations and a number of
newspapers and other publications are
providing news and commentaries 24/7.
Lahore has the honor to be the eternal resting
place of a number of saints. Individuals like Ali
Hajveri, Bibi Pak Daman and other noble souls,
reposing since centuries in the crust of Lahore,
continue to gravitate millions to their shrines.
When it comes to leisure and recreation, besides
other pursuits, Lahorees enjoy eating with fervor
and favor. No wonder, food stalls and food
streets have a booming business round the year.
However, some of the Lahore eating spots have
also been the meet points for intellectuals and
scholars. Pak Tea House is one of those places
where people like Faiz Ahmed Faiz, Ibne Insha,
Saadat Hassan Manto and others sipped their tea
and shaped their ideas.
Fostering its own unique and abiding values,
Lahore continues to march forward, true to its
axiomatic depiction: Lahore is Lahore.

The University of Central Punjab (UCP)
Education in the twenty-frst century demands a
balance between continuity and change. The
technological leaps and the consequences
thereof have overtaken the old educational
paradigms and new concepts have emerged in
the world of learning. The Punjab Group of
Colleges (PGC) was among the frst to realize this
transition and its challenges. The PGC, therefore,
submitted a petition to the Government of the
Punjab, in August 1996, to allow to establish a
university in the province. A No Objection
Certifcate was issued in October 1999. The
charter to establish the University of Central
Punjab (UCP) was awarded in April 2002. Thus
this University clinched the distinction of
becoming the frst private sector university in
the Punjab which acquired the status of a degree
awarding institution.
When the University came into operations in
October 1999, it ofered courses in Management
Studies, Information Technology, Commerce
and Law through its principal constituents i.e.
Punjab College of Business Administration
(PCBA), Punjab Institute of Computer Sciences
(PICS), Punjab College of Commerce (PCC),
Punjab Law College (PLC) and Punjab College of
Information Technology (PCIT), all situated in
Lahore.
These Colleges were restructured as Faculties of
the University and became:
1. UCP Business School
2. Faculty of Information Technology
3. Faculty of Commerce
4. Faculty of Engineering
5. Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences
6. Faculty of Pharmacy
7. Faculty of Law

to register without fne. If a student freezes the
semester, during the semester, the students fee
paid, will neither be refunded nor transferred, in
any case.
Tuition Fee Waiver
In the frst semester, a student will pay dues for
the prescribed load. However, in the subsequent
semesters, dues are calculated according to the
number of courses taken by the student, and shall
be payable at the beginning of each semester. The
type of tuition fee waiver to the PGC students or
any other form of concession will continue for the
subsequent semester(s) only if a student fulflls its
CGPA requirements.
Class Attendance Policy
Students must attend every lecture for each
course in which they are registered. Students not
adhering to the class attendance policy will be
restrained from appearing in the fnal
examination and they will be given "W" grade in
the course.
There will only be four approved leaves in each
3/4 credit hours course during the semester. No
fne will be charged on approved leaves; however,
on absence beyond approved leaves, fne at the
rate of Rs. 500 per day of absence(s) will be levied.
A student must have 80% of attendance in each
course. Any student missing more than 20% of the
total classes, will be withdrawn from the course.
No transfer of dues or tuition fee is permissible
when a student is withdrawn from a course. Fee
once paid is neither refundable nor transferable
to the next semester.
Evaluation System
It is at the discretion of the course instructor to
decide on the weights of all examinations,
assignments, project, presentations, quizzes etc.
However, as a broad guideline set at this
University, the distribution of weights of these
components is:
Quizzes, Assignments, Test Papers, Class
Participation, etc. = 30 %
Mid-Term Examination = 30 %
Final Examination = 40 %
Final Examination
A student must appear in all tests/ examinations
as scheduled. However, if a student fails to appear
due to some genuine reason, he/she must seek
permission of the Dean to take the missed
examination. The student will take the missed
examination within two weeks after the
scheduled date. The fnal examination schedule is
given in the academic calendar of each term and
is provided to all students by the concerned
course instructor at the start of each term.
Examination must be taken on the scheduled
dates. Exceptions may be granted only to
individual students in case of an emergency or
other compelling circumstances beyond human
control. All such exceptions must be approved by
the Deans ofce.
Course Numbering System
Each course number consists of two parts. The
frst part contains at most four letters indicating
the subject while the second part contains a
four-digit number. The frst digit indicates the
course level. The second digit indicates the feld of
subject, the third digit indicates the course
number of the feld and the fourth number is
reserved for the number of credit hours. A student
may not enroll in a course unless the
pre-requisites to a course have been successfully
completed. Prerequisites, whereever required, are
mentioned in detailed description of each course
in this prospectus.
27
Grades and Grading System
All students receive grade reports indicating
academic progress at the end of each semester for
which they were enrolled. UCP strictly follows a
4-point grading system similar to the one
prevalent at most of the accredited institutions
throughout the globe. The numerical equivalence
of letter grades is given below:
Semester Credit Hours
One semester credit hour means that a particular
course must have at least one & half hour of class
contact per week for a period of 16 weeks. Hence
a course of three-semester credit hours will meet
for approximately 48 hours or 2880 minutes
during a semester. During one semester a student
can take up to 5 courses or 15 semester credit
hours. The time allocated for Mid.-term and Final
examinations is excluded from this computation
of class contact hours.
Summer Semester
A three semester credit hour course can also be
completed in 6-8 weeks time provided the class
contact of at least 2880 minutes is completed
within this time period. Since courses completed
in summers are not counted towards degree
completion, student will register in old courses
which he/she wishes to repeat.
Incomplete Grade
An 'I' grade may be assigned to a student who fails
to take the fnal examination due to legitimate
reason, but otherwise has completed all course
requirements. However, prior permission from the
Deans ofce should be obtained for the award of
'I'. An 'I' so assigned may be changed to a grade
provided the student retakes the fnal
examination within 3 weeks after the beginning
of the next semester. If the new grade is not
reported within the 4 week period, 'I' shall be
changed to an ' F' grade.
CGPA
A student's Cumulative Grade Point Average is
computed by multiplying the number of credit
hours of each course by the grade points assigned
to that grade; then dividing the sum of these
products for all courses by the total number of
credit hours in which the student was enrolled.
Grade 'I' and Grade 'W' are not used in the
calculation of GPA/CGPA. All students must
maintain a minimum CGPA of 2.0 for successful
continuation of studies at UCP. However, for
courses covered at Master's level, a minimum
CGPA of 2.5 is required.
Transcript Policies
Transcripts are issued only at the written request
of the students. Verbal or telephonic requests for
transcripts are neither entertained nor accepted.

courses with a grade below 'C+' for graduate level
courses and below 'C' for undergraduate level
courses. Not more than 4-6 courses to a maximum
of 18-SCH will be allowed for repetition. However,
beyond 18-SCH repetition, the old grades will also
be included in the calculation of CGPA. The
original as well as the revised grades of all
repeated courses will be shown on the transcript.
Academic Probation and Dismissal
All undergraduate/graduate students who fail to
maintain a minimum CGPA of 2.0 / 2.5 respectively
will be sent a written warning along with their
semester end grade report. These students will be
put on probation for the next semester only. If at
the end of that semester, they fail to attain the
required CGPA, they are dropped from the
program altogether. All students are required to
maintain 'Good Standing' throughout their
tenure. They are expected and consciously driven
to work signifcantly harder than usual norms.
Course Load under Probation
A student on probation will be restricted to
repeating courses with a grade below 'C+' for
graduate level courses and below 'C' for
undergraduate level courses and will not be
allowed to take any new course from the
following semester. These students will be
assigned courses by their respective Advisors with
due approval of the Dean`s ofce.
Transfer of Credits
Transfer of credits is decided at the time of
admission and is determined on a
course-to-course basis. Students applying for
transfer of courses must provide all previous

UCP Business School
Welcome to the UCP Business School, one of the
largest business schools in the country with
over 3500 students enrolled in its various
degree programs. The UCP Business School in
its present form is the culmination of consistent
eforts of Punjab Group of Colleges in the last 22
years to serve the large community through the
provision of the state-of-the-art business
education at tertiary level.
In 1991, the Punjab College of Business
Administration (PCBA) was established during
the time when government was reluctant to
grant charter to private universities. In a short
span of time, PCBA became an internationally
recognized institution of business education in
the country. The PCBA had run collaborative
MBA programs efectively with several foreign
universities including Arkansas State University,
USA and Asian Institute of Technology,
Bangkok. The alumni of PCBA are presently
serving a number of leading national and
international organizations at senior positions.
In 2002, the University of Central Punjab was
established under the University of Central
Punjab Ordinance 2002 with six faculties
including Faculty of Management Studies. The
PCBA was merged into Faculty of Management
Studies.
In 2012, a major reorganization initiative was
undertaken with the establishment of UCP
Business School with four academic divisions
and six centers. Since then strategic renewal of
Faculty of Management Studies under the
umbrella of UCP Business School is going on.
Recently, we have added a good number of
PhDs to our faculty and launched new
specialized MS programs in four major
functional areas of business - management,
marketing, fnance and operations & supply
chain management. We have also restructured
our BBA and MBA programs to ofer more

schools and research organizations. We also

managers to meet their career aspirations.
The structure and contents of all these

Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) is one
of the younger faculties of UCP. Established in
2009, FASS not only teaches degree programs
at graduate and undergraduate level in Arts
and Humanities, but also provides support
across faculties in teaching language,
humanities and social sciences courses.
A conscious efort is made to make curriculum,
taught in various programs, contemporary and
at the same time challenging to foster a spirit of
critical inquiry, an urge to discover, to learn, and
to refect on issues facing humanity
perennially. Although study of liberal arts and
social sciences is given a lot of importance in
higher education all over the world, students in
Pakistan are usually ambivalent about earning
a degree in arts and social sciences subjects.
They think that a degree in social sciences
hampers their job prospects and does not
develop skills and attitudes needed for success
in professional paths they choose in their lives.
To dispel such misconceptions, we have
devised curriculum which is contemporary in
course selection, a learning environment which
is interactive and robust, all to ensure that
students acquire well developed
communication and interpretive skills, a habit
for independent thinking, and a sense of
personal and professional responsibility that
employers look for potential candidates ready
to serve in todays job market.
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences currently
comprises four departments, Department of
Islamic studies, Department of Psychology,
Department of Economics and Finance, and
Department of English.
Department of Islamic Studies was established
frst which aims at producing religious scholars
who are enlightened, open to free inquiry,
tolerant and eclectic in their understanding
and interpretation of the teachings of Islam by
seeking guidance directly from the Quran and
155
Sunnah. Department of Islamic Studies ofers
BS (Honors) Islamic studies, and MA in Islamic
Studies.
To broaden the sphere of studies and program
oferings, FASS has recently added Department
of Economics, Department of English, and
Department of Psychology; all ofer a Bachelor
of Science (Honors) degree in their respective
subjects. A number of Majors and Minors are
ofered to cater to diverse interests and
professional ambitions of students. Students
are allowed to choose courses and devise
combinations of majors and minors which are
most relevant to them, while still enjoying a
degree which falls under HEC guidelines.
We invite you to visit and interact with our
faculty and students in the department. You
will be happy that you have made a choice to
study in a program that gives you the
opportunity to refect upon and discuss issues
that are of great importance not just to
Pakistan, but the rest of the world as well. This
degree would lead you to the new horizons.
Whether you choose to make a career in media,
civil services, NGOs, education, business and
industry etc., or you choose to go for higher
studies, your choices are limitless with a degree
in social sciences.

and Contemporary Sciences). A CSICS is an
authentic Islamic scholar possessing sound
understanding of Islam and the
contemporary world.
Our Vision is to launch an educational
movement that would promote independent
and honest thinking on religion by seeking
guidance directly from the Quran and
Sunnah leading to the right behavior
amongst the scholars, academics and the
common people of the Muslim Ummah.

Dr. Asir Ajmal
Head of Department
Dr. Asir Ajmal is a Professor and Head of the Psychology Department in the Faculty of Arts & Social
Sciences. He obtained his Doctorate from Dartmouth College, USA and got his clinical training in
England. He has a broad range of work experience of nearly 30 Years including teaching in the US,
working as clinical psychologist in the UK and as a teacher educator in Pakistan. Before joining UCP,
he headed the Psychology Department at Government College University Lahore. Dr. Asir Ajmal has
authored numerous national and international publications on a wide range of topics including

scholarly publications to his credit.
Psychology is increasingly being recognized
as one of the most important disciplines not
only in the felds of business, management
and economic decision making, but also
among the entire body of Social Sciences.
Recently, the Nobel Prize for Economics went
to a psychologist who had devoted his
academic career to discovering as to how
people make fnancial decisions. National
education data shows that psychology is
among the most popular disciplines in
Pakistan. At the moment, there are thousands
of psychology graduates without too many
opportunities for post-graduate education or
specialization. The Psychology Department at
UCP seeks to meet the needs of these
students while also being sensitive to the
needs of the job market.
In addition to catering for the needs of
psychology graduates, the Psychology
Department strives to meet the needs of
industry as well, which at the moment is
plagued by demoralization and
de-motivation. This year we plan to launch
several psychology-based training programs
for people in industry, business and
management to help improve their
performance and career prospects. We will
hold special certifcate courses and
workshops for HR professionals so that they
can perform better in their personal and
professional capacity. Workshops on Time
Management and Stress Management will
also be held for professionals from diferent
felds.
We also equip students in other faculties with
basic knowledge of psychology by ofering
certain introductory level courses. This
practice will continue this year with an efort
to rationalize and standardize the input
provided by the department.

Dr. Bashir Ahmad
Head of Department, Economics
Dr. Bashir Ahmad is a Professor and Head of the Department of Economics in the Faculty of Arts and
Social Sciences. He obtained his doctoral degree from Michigan State University, USA. He has a vast
experience of around 50 years, working in various public and private sector organizations of
Pakistan, including Punjab Public Service Commission, Punjab Planning and Development
Department, and Government College University, Lahore. Dr. Bashir has a strong research interest in
the area of Farm Mechanization and Agricultural Development. He has written various research
articles for renowned national and international journals, conferences and symposiums.
The critical role of the subject of Economics and
the economists in identifcation of and
suggesting remedial measures for the multiple
problems hindering the socio-economic growth
of the various societies, is very well recognized
not only in Pakistan but all over the world. The
department of Economics was, therefore, started
from the very beginning of the UCP for teaching
the subjects of Microeconomics, Macroeconomics,
Economic Analysis and Managerial Economics to
support the BBA and MBA programs of faculty of
management studies.
In pursuance of our long-term vision, however, BS
(Hons) Economics and Finance was launched in
FASS in Fall 2011. Continuing our progressive
approach, in accordance with our vision, a
separate and independent Economics
Department has been established in the FASS in
Fall 2012. This department has prepared
programs for higher education in Economics
covering MS, M.Phil and PhD in Economics. These
programs have been approved by the competent
authority.
However, MS/M.Phil Program will be started from
Fall 2013 followed by PhD in later semesters. The
graduate scholars of our MS/M.Phil and PhD
programs will be available for jobs in the public
and private sector; specifcally, teaching and
research institutions, banking sector, various
ministries/ departments of Planning and
Development, Finance, Commerce etc.
Furthermore, they can start their own business in
diferent economic sectors and professional
organizations of Management, Accountancy,
Consultancy, Insurance , Corporate sector etc.
At its present stage of development, Pakistan is
facing multiple constraints in the way of its
economic growth. One of the most serious
bottlenecks is lack of high level professionals
having command over knowledge and
application in various areas of development,
particularly in policy making, its implementation
and evaluation. Even teaching, research and
normal operations of the various institutions in
the public and private sector sufer due to their
inadequacy.

MS/M.Phil (Economics) is a research based 18
years degree program (leading to PhD),
intended to investigate and discover solutions
to national and international issues. Two factors
contribute to the high quality of research and
training of our students: one is strong
foundation in basic topics of economics; the
other is to create a research-led environment
where students work alongside leading
researchers to develop the skills required to
become professional economists, researchers
and analysts. Every M.Phil student completing
his/her coursework has to write a thesis of six
credit hours in the fnal semester. For MS
(Economics) required research credit hours (6)
can be converted into 2 courses of 3 credit
hours each.
Program Objectives
At its present stage of development, Pakistan is
facing multiple constraints in its progress in
economic growth. One of the most serious
bottle necks is lack of high level professionals
having command over knowledge and
application in various areas of development;
particularly, in policy making, its
implementation and evaluation. Even teaching
research and normal operations of the various
institutions in the public and private sector
sufer due to their inadequacy.
Foreign sources of training are becoming
inaccessible for most people due to their high
cost and limited admission capacity.
Furthermore, local research is required for real
understanding and solution of our national,
economic problems. We shall, therefore, have
to produce the desired professionals locally. To
achieve this objective, the MS and PhD
programs in Economics are being launched in
the UCP.
Career Scopes/ Opportunities
The output of the MS and PhD programs will be
available for jobs in the public and private
sector, teaching and research institutions,
banking sector, various ministries at the federal
and provincial level, particularly the
ministries/departments of planning and
development, fnance, commerce, etc.
Furthermore, they can start their own careers in
diferent economic sectors and professional
places of Management, Accountancy,
Consultancy, Insurance, Corporate Sector, etc.
