Air University Campus & Programmes
BE Avionics Engineering — Pakistan's Premier Avionics Programme
Air University's BE Avionics Engineering is the flagship programme and one of the most specialised engineering degrees in Pakistan. The curriculum covers flight instrumentation, navigation systems, autopilot systems, aircraft communication, radar systems, and embedded systems for aerospace applications. Graduates work with the PAF, Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), CAA Pakistan, and international aviation companies. This programme is almost exclusively available at Air University in Pakistan.
BE Electrical Engineering
The BE Electrical Engineering programme covers power systems, electronics, telecommunications, and control systems with an aviation-aware curriculum. Graduates work in WAPDA, PAF technical branches, PEMRA, and telecom and power sector companies. Electives in avionics and aerospace signal processing distinguish AU's EE programme from those of other institutions.

Absolute vs Relative Grading at Air University
Air University uses absolute grading in line with HEC policy. Grades are assigned against fixed percentage benchmarks — 85% and above earns an A/A+, 80–84% earns an A-, and so on — regardless of how other students perform. There is no bell-curve adjustment. Every student who achieves 85%+ earns an A regardless of how many others reach that level.
For engineering disciplines at Air University (Avionics, EE, CS, SE), absolute grading ensures that grade boundaries correspond directly to objective technical competency benchmarks. This is important for PAF-sponsored students, whose career progression may require demonstrating defined performance standards independent of peer comparison.
