SCIT Students Secure Third Place at National AI Championship LUMS

On November 1, 2025, at LUMS, three final-year SCIT students from Beaconhouse National University secured third place at the National Artificial Intelligence Championship, winning PKR 100,000 for Shopiq, an innovative AI and computer-vision project on personalized in-mall advertising, supervised by Mr. Syed Nouman, through rigorous research, interdisciplinary design, and deployment.

The award-winning team, comprising Khawaja Abdul Moeed, Hassan Kumail, and Abu Bakar, developed Shopiq to intelligently analyze foot traffic and shopper behavior, enabling context-aware advertisements within mall environments. The project reflects SCIT’s strong emphasis on applied artificial intelligence, computer vision, and industry-relevant problem solving.

Out of more than 350 project submissions nationwide, only 60 were shortlisted for the final round, including three final-year projects from SCIT. These projects were mentored by faculty members Syed Nouman, Muhammad Ali, and Nabeel Ahsan, underscoring BNU’s robust research culture and competitive academic mentorship.
