The cornerstone of the Institute of Business Administration was laid in the year 1955. Sixty years down the line, the institute remains dedicated to the task of imparting valuable education and work ethics to its students.
The institute has gone through major changes over these six decades in order to embrace a wider set of disciplines in its curricula. These changes have been made in order to respond to the requirements of the society, market and economy. They are also an outcome of associations forged with credible institutions, local and international and various stakeholders, prominent being the IBA Alumni. Infrastructural and technological advancements have been accomplished despite their expected share of challenges. The cumulative impact of these developments is that the IBA today provides a conducive environment to its students continuously enriching their academic pursuits with networking, entrepreneurial, cultural and experiential learning. The blend of these sure-footed steps has enabled a more wholesome environment of enlightenment.
The Institute takes pride in honing skills that would not only make our graduates highly valued professionals, but at the same time imbibe ethical values in them, so that they are able to exhibit and demonstrate standards of integrity in the wake of temptations and compulsions. IBA also encourages its students and faculty to develop a global perspective, but to apply their knowledge and practices towards finding the solutions of local problems.
In this connection, IBA has received accreditation from the South Asia Vision Quality Assurance Systems (SAQS) and gained membership of various To become a world-class business international and regional professional bodies, associations and networks. school for leadership and innovation in IBA has received accreditation from the National Business Education management Accreditation Council (NBEAC), an HEC body. The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB), has assigned a Mentor to IBA pursuing the process of accreditation.
Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in the hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character. T. Alan Armstrong MESSAGE OF THE DEAN & DIRECTOR The year 2015 is a turning point in IBAs recent history, as it would be embarking upon a new five year strategic plan. The Strategy 2020 is being formulated by a group of Faculty members in consultation with the Stakeholders Students, Staff, Faculty, Alumni, Employers and Board members. The draft plan will then be discussed internally and placed before the Board of Governors for its approval. I do not wish to pre-empt the results of this exercise, but suffice it to say that the coming years will witness consolidation of existing Academic Programs, Infrastructure, IT Facilities and Community Outreach activities that have made considerable headway. More efforts would have to be focused on attracting, retaining and motivating high quality Faculty that can add value to our academic endeavors. Research, Case studies, Executive Education, Consultancy Services to Industry would form an integral part of the portfolio of the Faculty members in addition to their teaching responsibilities. This is a big challenge but we hope we would be able to make progress in this dimension of our work as well.
The other challenge has to do with the financial sustainability in the future. The existing financial sustainability model of IBA has successfully withstood the test of time, so far operational expenditures are being financed from internally generated revenues, government grants and income from the Endowment Fund. While the number of students has risen from 1800 to 3500 in the last seven years, thus contributing to enhanced internal revenues, the income from the Endowment Fund is likely to decline because of the lower interest rate regime. I hope the Board of Trustees of the Fund would step up their efforts to mobilize additional resources and beef up the size of the Fund.

Higher education starts with undergraduate studies leading upto graduate courses; these are stopovers in a students journey of obtaining knowledge and carving out a career in the chosen field of study. Undergraduate courses lay the basic foundation that is used as a springboard to pursue graduate courses or a masters degree.
Courses at an undergraduate level, also referred to as bachelors courses, are usually taken after completing 10+2 / equivalent level in most countries. These courses are classified as BS / BA / BBA. Undergraduate programs are designed to strengthen the knowledge-base of young students. Courses in the freshman year are of an introductory level, with a gradual increase in their difficulty approaching sophomore, junior, and senior years.
It is only after successful completion of undergraduate courses that a student can aspire to go for higher studies and enroll into a graduate course such as a masters degree program. An undergraduate degree lasts four years, whereas a graduate degree lasts two years. The highest graduate degree that a student can pursue is the doctoral degree which involves intensive research work.

The Students I am teaching at IBA are in a category way beyond what I have taught and way beyond even those in the best universities anywhere in the world. They are inquisitive, talented, extremely curious, talkative, thinking, they even read much more than what is assigned. It has been a huge joy and thrill to teach such extraordinary students. I really hope that some of them will move beyond the narrow professional field of Business Management, towards a richer Social Science specialization and focus as they progress over the years. Dr. S.

A public sector institution, the IBA caters to a large number of students from middle and lower income groups. Its fee increase is mostly modest and covers only a fraction of the costs. Therefore, other sources of financing such as scholarships, endowments, etc are employed. Financial Aid is available at IBA for all deserving and needy students. No applicant who qualifies the admission test and fulfills other requirements is refused admission because of unaffordablility. A Financial Aid Committee scrutinizes the applications of students seeking financial aid and sanctions assistance for those who meet the need criteria. In the academic session 2014-15, as many as 456 students received financial assistance amounting to Rs. 91,429,515/- million.

Facilities & Infrastructure 63
The Institute of Business Administration, Karachi has two campuses spread over 72 acres of real estate. The years 2008 to 2015 have witnessed a major revamp of infrastructure and facilities at both the campuses, namely: the City Campus located in Saddar and the Main Campus located in the environs of the University of Karachi. Resultantly, apart from reconstruction of all 60s vintage buildings the period saw the maturing of 14 new Greenfield building projects initiated in 2009. These infrastructural development activities have given IBA premises a new look, with facilities comparable in size and splendor to any campus of a world-class institution. It has also enabled significant enhancement in joint capacity of both the campuses, from erstwhile 1800 to about 3900 students, and over hundred full time faculty members.

A public sector institution of higher education has to play an important role in contributing directly or indirectly to the socio-economic development of the country. While teaching and research will generate the direct linkages by providing high caliber human resources to the economy in the medium to long term an institution such as IBA has an obligation to strengthen its community, corporate sector, public sector and nonprofit sector linkages in the short run. These linkages can be fostered by providing advisory and consultancy service, nurturing entrepreneurship and innovation and training of mid career executives. The vehicles through which this is taking place at IBA include the the Center for Entrepreneurship Development & the Center for Business and Economics Research. Appended below is a brief description of each of these centers:

86 The four years spent at IBA were full of unforgettable experiences. I was fortunate to have a Dean and a Faculty who were always willing to discuss anything at all, be it an issue we were facing or an idea we came up with. These memories shall remain with me for a lifetime.
Hunaira
IBA has given me the confidence to not only understand, but hopefully one day lead
business in my country. This deep understanding of business was inculcated in me by a highly qualified faculty, disciplined environment and diverse extra-curricular activities through which I was able to grasp the true essence of management. It wont be wrong to say that IBA is truly a world-class business school.
Muhammad Shehmir
IBA. Just saying the name out loud stirs the kaleidoscope of lively memories.
From struggling at calculus to acing brand management, the learning experience has helped me discover my potential to the fullest. Be it leading a group for a term-long project or participating in a lemon-spoon race for class activity, IBA will teach you to excel in all the fields of professional life.

Notes The Karachi Edge
The City of Karachi encapsulates a multitude of cultures, nations, architecture, sight-seeing places, career opportunities and so much more. It is a standing monument to the efforts of the Father of the Nation, whose dream is now a reality and which we now live in today. The 3rd largest city in the world with regard to population and the 20th largest metropolis in the world, its flyovers, high rises and expansive roads present never-ending opportunities for ambitious and creative minds looking for innovation and challenges. While holding its glorious title as the gateway to Asia, the city generates 65% of the total national revenue and is the major port city of the country.
This industrial, financial and commercial powerhouse of the country has more than 600 listed companies on its stock exchange and is the headquarters of most of the local and multinational companies in Pakistan. It offers ample career opportunities in various market sectors including financial institutes, oil and petroleum industry, FMCGS, multinationals, telecommunication / media, television, production, publishing, software production, business and market research, education and tourism and so many more.
Looking for recreation? This city will not disappoint you. Bowling, go-carting, Cineplex, amusement and water parks like Aladdin and Dream world, gaming zones, boating, and crabbing: its all here. The Arena offers you the best ice- skating, rock-climbing and swimming experiences while concerts, theatres and drive-in cinemas await to give you the movie experience of your life.
Thats not all. A city is incomplete without any landmarks of its history and culture and you will find plenty of these in the City of Lights. Top of the list is the white marble glory of the Quaid-e-Azams Mausoleum. The most visited sight of all, this memorable place is home to hundreds of tourists who come to pay respects to the Father of the Nation and admire the beauty of the structure and the impressive change of guards ceremony. In addition, you will find museums and art galleries like the Maritime, PAF and National Museums, the Fayzee Rahman Art Gallery, and Sadequain Gallery in Frere Hall, among others. And not to forget, the ancient and compelling splendor of the Mohatta Palace.
Finally, purely from a professional point of view, it is noteworthy that this city is a hub of local and international business organizations. All major employers of Pakistan are located in the City of Karachi, making it a perfect choice for a business school. IBA Karachi welcomes you to this extraordinary city and promises you the experience of your lifetime! Published by: Office of the Registrar May 2015
