History
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/79/Military_College_of_Signals_gate.jpg/250px-Military_College_of_Signals_gate.jpg)
Military College of Signals was raised immediately after partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947 as "School of Signals", with the task of training officers and selected Non-Commissioned Officers of the Corps of Signals of Pakistan Army. The School had to be raised from a scratch because the signal training facilities of undivided British Indian Army were located either at Poona or Jabalpur which became a part of India at the time of independence. Lt Col C.W.M. Young, a British officer of the Royal Corps of Signals was the first commandant of the school. During the early years, due to the shortage of training facilities in the country in the field of telecommunication, a number of officers were trained at School of Signals, UK and subsequently at US Army Signal School at Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. The college, since its raising has undergone various phases of expansion to meet the requirements of the Corps of Signals.
The status of the school was raised to that of a college in 1977 when it was affiliated with University of Engineering and Technology, Lahore for Telecommunication Engineering degree program.
The college became a constituent campus of National University of Sciences and Technology in 1991 and since then it has progressed phenomenally as a center of quality education. Today the curriculum is not only confined to merely undergraduate level but also MS and PhD level.
Campus life
The college has kept military traditions alive. Military rules are applied and National University of Sciences and Technology, Pakistan (NUST) policy is followed too. It provides opportunities to participate in a variety of co-curricular activities. There are students' societies and clubs which organize different activities. Presently, the college has two societies. Both were established in June 2001.
- Telecom Society comprises the President, General Secretary, Treasurer, Project Coordinator and Media Coordinator. Elections are held every year.
- Software Society comprises the President, Vice President, General Secretary, General Manager, Girls Representative, Extra-Curricular Activities Manager, Sports Manager, Finance Secretary, Event Secretary and EIT. This society on one hand has generated various extra curricular activities while on the other by organizing different seminars, workshops, lectures and short duration courses has contributed effectively to academic development.
- Information Security Society. This Society has been founded by the pioneer batch BEIS-01. This society comprises the President, General Secretary, Sports Secretary, Finance Secretary, Event Secretary. The main purpose of this society is to illustrate the importance of Cyber Security in this modern era. Society deals with all types of cyber-related seminars, workshops, and events held in MCS. In addition to this, the society's key focus is to help all the students of MCS to participate actively in all events organized by ISS.
Companies (Dorms)
There are two Companies for GC's, Liaqat Company and the Iqbal Company while Jinnah Company and GK hostel are for civilian Male Cadets. Fatima Company is for civilian female students.
