BS Information Technology Books (BSIT)

Here you can find all BS Information Technology books taught at Punjab University College of Information Technology (PUCIT), listed semester by semester from the first semester to the final year. Information technology is about using computers and networks to store, send, and work with information, and it covers software, databases, web design, networks, and security.

Each semester below names the course and, where it is known, the recommended book with its author. Books that already have their own article are linked. Where a course has no book named, the recommended book is still to be confirmed and will be added with its article. You can get the official scheme of studies for BS Information Technology on the University of the Punjab site. A note: PUCIT and the University of the Punjab have revised their scheme of studies in recent sessions, so the order of some courses may differ for newer batches.
