History
In May 2001, a group of engineers returned after completing Ph.D in the United States. They set up EET (Engineering education trust) as a not-for-profit public charitable organization for education purposes. Their aim was to provide substantial contributions to the research and publications areas in Pakistan through the introduction of graduate degree programs.
The institute was started on September 12, 2001, at the Software Technology Park, Islamabad, in affiliation with the University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila. The affiliation permitted it to start M.Sc. and Ph.D. degree programs in computer engineering. It was inaugurated by the then Minister of Science and Technology professor Dr. Atta-ur-Rahman. Dr. Kamal Athar was the director from 2001 until 2003. It started with a faculty of nine Ph.Ds and three Master of Science.
The institute started a B.Sc. program in 2003 in its school SS-CARE (Sir Syed Center for Advanced Research in Engineering) initially in collaboration with Sir Syed Memorial Society, named after Indian reformer Syed Ahmad Khan. The classes started at Sir Syed Esquire situated at 19th Atatürk Avenue, Islamabad. Later on, undergraduate classes commenced under the name of CASE (Center for Advanced Studies in Engineering). In 2018, it has obtained a degree awarding status by the Government of Pakistan.[4] It is the first institute which started engineering management degree program in Pakistan.

Controversies
There have been claims from students of SSCIT about the institute leaking student data without consent as well as modifying the student contract during the program, such as removing scholarships, increasing tuition fees by up to 10% per semester, and not maintaining their labs up to standard. Also, their Internet is horrible.
