SOPHEP- (Society for the Promotion of Higher Education in Pakistan)

The Society for the Promotion of Higher Education and Professional Excellence is one of the most active societies in GIKI. We aim to provide a platform for students in GIKI and Pakistan to interact with each other. Apart from organizing GIK Model United Nations we also organize the Alumni Homecoming, Educational Expo and the Open House.

GIKI Defines Us as:

In this modern day and age, engineers and scientists are not isolated from the management of the firms they work in. As a matter of fact, they themselves can become senior managers later on. Due to this, companies are perpetually on the look-out for people with solid communication skills. The implication for students is that besides studying hard, they must strive to develop solid presentation and communication skills as well.
One of the major problems facing today’s Pakistani students is the lack of interaction between the Pakistan's academic and professional communities. As a result of this, young undergraduates lack sufficient knowledge of the professional world and companies remain unaware of the great potential of these future workers.
SOPHEP was formed to help close this information gap and form a bridge between these two vital communities. In this regard, SOPHEP holds workshops that are conducted by successful GIKI alumni that help students refine their people-skills and become job-smart. The society also offers students projects from the industrial community which gives budding engineers and managers the chance to gain valuable real-world experience - something that looks great on any C.V.
