The first phase of construction that included seven classrooms, library, two computer laboratories, seminar room, administrative offices, with a total covered area of 13,000 square feet, was completed in November 1999. This capacity can adequately cater for the needs of over 200 students at a time.

Regular classes in basic computer science started at the Institute in June 2000, while BCS and BBA Degree programs, in affiliation with the University of Karachi, started in February 2001 and January 2002 respectively.

The Institute has since been affiliated to the University of Karachi for the award of BCS and BBA Degrees. Accordingly, it conducts courses designed by the University, and the University staff closely monitors the classroom instructions and the laboratory work of the students. Highly qualified faculty is selected to teach at the Institute in consultation with and under the supervision of the University in order to maintain academic standards at par with those of the University and of other affiliated institutions of repute.
Expansion Plan

The Foundation plans to upgrade the IMCS to the status of a full-fledged university by the year 2005. An open space measuring approximately 160,000 sq. ft. is available within the campus in which IMCS is situated. To meet the requirements of a multi-faculty degree awarding organization, the Foundation plans to construct on this piece of land a covered area of about 10,000 sq, ft. each year up to 2005.

To honour its commitment to achieve total quality at primary, secondary and higher levels of education, the Foundation took off by establishing a primary school, which later achieved the status of a secondary school. The school, PECHS Foundation School by name, is running with enviable grandeur, and enjoys the reputation of being one of the top-ranking schools of Karachi.

Another achievement of the Foundation was the establishment of PECHS Foundation College, which has since been nationalized.

Yet another landmark on the track record of the Foundation was the establishment of the Institute of Management and Computer Sciences (IMCS)
