The Punjab University College of Information Technology was established with the name Center for Computer Science in 1988. It was situated in the Center for Solid State Physics on the University of the Punjab's New Campus. The first program offered was a year-long, two-semester postgraduate diploma (PGD) for which 24 students were registered. This program was offered until 2000.
In 1991 the Center for Computer Science was upgraded to the Department of Computer Science and for the first time a full-fledged two-year MSc program in computer science was offered. The first ever intake for the program was 15 students, which eventually increased to 30.
In December 2000, the Department was further upgraded to a full-fledged college under the new name of the Punjab University College of Information Technology.
