Explore BE Telecommunication Engineering – QUEST Nawabshah at University of Engineering and Technology, Peshawar, including duration, eligibility and connected admission resources.

BE Telecommunication Engineering at QUEST Nawabshah is a four-year, eight-semester engineering programme accredited by the Pakistan Engineering Council and taught in the morning shift. It is one of the 14 BE disciplines advertised for admission in Batch-26 (2026).

Program Overview

The course of study covers signals and systems, analogue and digital communication, antenna and wave propagation, microwave engineering, optical fibre communication, mobile and wireless networks, data communication and network security, together with the general electrical engineering foundation. Students use network simulators and RF laboratories and typically design a communication system or network for their final project.

It is the right choice for students fascinated by how voice, data and video travel across cables, fibre and air. If you are more interested in the devices themselves, Electronic Engineering is the closer alternative; if you prefer the software and switching side, Computer Systems Engineering may fit better.
