Building Complete, Real-World Enterprise IT Engineers
Peshawar's premier institution for vendor-certified networking, systems, cloud, and security education. Over two decades of bridging academic theory with real-world datacenter engineering.
Why We Founded IT Alrounders in Peshawar
In 2003, Engr. Mujahid Farooq observed a critical breakdown in technical education: universities were graduating computer science students who could write algorithms on paper, but had never plugged a serial console cable into a router, configured an Active Directory forest, or resolved an IP routing broadcast storm in a live datacenter.
Traditional academies were relying entirely on PowerPoint slides and software simulators like Packet Tracer. When graduates were hired by telecom companies, commercial banks, or ISP Network Operations Centers (NOC), they struggled on day one when confronted with physical server racks and actual CLI terminal interfaces.
What is an "IT All-Rounder"?
Modern enterprise datacenters do not operate in isolated silos. When an application fails in production, an all-rounder solves the outage across every layer:
Diagnose whether an OSPF route reconverged, a VLAN trunk dropped, or an MTU mismatch is causing packet drops.
Resolve Kerberos token expirations, Group Policy replication faults, and Hyper-V multi-tenant clustering.
Automate daemons with Bash, configure BIND9 DNS, Samba AD integration, and Nginx reverse proxies with SELinux.
Inspect firewall state tables, analyze packet captures, defend against port scans, and remediate web vulnerabilities.
Four Pillars That Define Our Education
We don't teach to simply pass multiple-choice exams. We train engineers to handle high-stakes corporate infrastructure with absolute technical authority.
100% Real Physical Hardware
Simulation software cannot teach what happens when real transceiver optics overheat or physical VLAN trunking fails. Students configure actual Cisco Catalyst switches, modular routers, ASA firewalls, and bare-metal server hypervisors.
Direct Master Instruction
Every single batch is directly taught by Engr. Mujahid Farooq. You receive the wisdom, real-world case studies, and direct mentorship of a 20-year industry veteran who has solved complex network outages for major telecom and enterprise clients.
Physical & Online Dual Delivery
Attend in-person at our air-conditioned lab in Peshawar, or join our live interactive online classes from anywhere in the world. Online students receive full screen sharing, direct voice Q&A, remote lab terminal access, and high-res recordings.
3 Free Demo Classes Policy
We don't ask for tuition fees upfront. Attend 3 complete, consecutive lecture and lab sessions for free. Gauge our teaching depth, inspect our lab equipment, and discuss your career trajectory with the instructor before paying a single rupee.
Our Journey: From 2003 to 2026+
Over twenty years of staying ahead of datacenter transformations—from physical copper cabling and local Active Directory to hybrid Azure cloud and AI-assisted automation.
Foundation in Peshawar
Engr. Mujahid Farooq established IT Alrounders to bridge the gap between abstract academic computer science degrees and the rigorous physical demands of corporate enterprise networking.
University Road Campus Expansion
Relocated to University Road in Peshawar, expanding our facility to house full physical racks of Cisco Catalyst 2960/3560 switches and 2800/2900 series modular ISR routers.
Red Hat Linux & CCNP Expansion
Integrated Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHCSA/RHCE) and Cisco CCNP Enterprise (ENCOR) to meet surging demand for multi-vendor server and high-availability BGP routing engineers.
Dedicated Cyber Range Inaugurated
Launched our isolated Cyber Range with vulnerable virtual targets and Kali Linux / Parrot OS workstations for CEH Ethical Hacking and corporate defense.
Hybrid Cloud & Global Online Live Batches
Introduced Microsoft Azure Administrator (AZ-104) and launched live interactive remote broadcasting, enabling Pakistani expatriates in Saudi Arabia, UAE, and the UK to train remotely.
Next-Gen Datacenter & Zero-Trust Defense
Modernized all infrastructure labs with Windows Server 2025 Datacenter, Azure Arc hybrid server governance, and Zero-Trust network architecture.
A Real Network Operations Center (NOC) in Peshawar
Located on the 2nd Floor of Hamayun Tower on University Road, our campus is structured like an actual enterprise NOC environment. Students sit at dedicated testing benches directly connected to physical server racks and patch panels.
Cisco Physical Racks
Catalyst 3560/3750 Multilayer PoE switches, 2900 series ISR routers, and Cisco ASA 5500 firewalls wired to student test benches.
Multi-Forest Hyper-V & KVM Virtualization
High-capacity bare-metal workstations running multi-tier Windows Server 2025 and RHEL 9 clusters with root administrative privileges.
Dual-ISP Redundant Uplinks
Dedicated optical fiber failover links ensuring seamless cloud lab synchronization with Microsoft Azure and live online broadcast classes.

Personal Mentorship in Every Single Batch
At IT Alrounders, your education is not handed off to newly certified junior tutors or part-time student assistants. Every concept—from IPv4 VLSM subnetting and BGP routing convergence to Windows Server forest trust relationships and Azure Virtual Network gateways—is personally unpacked, demonstrated, and lab-tested under Engr. Mujahid Farooq's direct guidance.
His teaching combines the rigor of classical engineering principles with practical battle-tested heuristics earned from twenty years of configuring real enterprise networks across Pakistan and consulting for major corporate clients.
