IBA: A success-oriented journey
Access to quality education can transform lives.
An organization
that dedicatedly proved this is “The Institute of Business Administration”,
usually referred to by its acronym IBA, is a university in Karachi, Pakistan
and is considered one of the premier business schools in Pakistan.
The recurrent theme of IBA’s existence is that business
education should be relevant and looking to the future. The IBA provides an
enabling environment, conducive to scholarship and research. The faculty,
staff, students and members of the industry work together to achieve learning
goals. Students acquire knowledge and skills through constructive and
distinctive processes that encourage them to develop understanding of business
concepts and issues, think independently and to make rational choices.
Institute of Business Management aspires to be one of the
leading institutions, nationally and internationally, for learning, research
and innovation. The Institute of Business Administration (IBA) is Founded in
1955, with initial technical support provided by the world famous Wharton
School of Finance, University of Pennsylvania; later, the University of
Southern California set up various facilities at the Institute and several
prominent American professors were assigned to the IBA. It is the oldest business school outside North
America.
Despite a rapid increase in the number of business schools,
the IBA has maintained its position as the premier Institution of higher
learning in the field of Management and Business Administration.
The IBA initially offered its MBA program only for day
scholars. In 1957, an Evening Program was started to cater to the needs of the
numerous working executives and managers who were interested in furthering
their careers through part-time business studies. In 1982, a three-year BBA
(Honors) Program was introduced which has now been upgraded to a four-year BBA
program.
The Faculty of Computer Science was originally established
as the Center for Computer Studies in 1983 with the collaboration of IBM, Pakistan.
It initially offered a diploma in System Analysis to overcome a shortage of
software professionals in the country. It now offers BS (Computer Science), MS
(Computer Science), and PhD programs. The PhD degree is being offered in the
areas of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE), Information and Communication
Technology (ICT), Operations Research, Artificial Intelligence, Cryptography,
Numerical Analysis and Numerical Computing.
In 2009, IBA introduced its first weekend Executive MBA
Program (EMBA), focusing on the needs of the mid-career professionals, serving
in the Corporate Sector, Banks and Government departments. The curriculum,
methodology and course material have been developed in consultation with
industry experts and lead resource persons. Currently 280 participants from
more than 100 organizations are attending this program steered by leading
professionals and senior IBA faculty.
IBA has recently introduced new BS degree programs in
Economics and Mathematics (Double Major), Social Sciences, Accounting and
Finance and also MS/ Ph.D. programs in Economics and Mathematics.
The Center for Executive Education (CEE) organizes
customized courses for corporate clients and holds short courses on emerging
issues and themes for those engaged in business. CEE has strategic partnership
with the Indian School of Business whose faculty conducts courses and seminars
at Karachi.
The Centre for Excellence in Islamic Finance has been
established at IBA with the objective of providing a platform for discovery, enhancement
and dissemination of knowledge in the field of Islamic Finance. It aims to be a
world class Centre which, through education and research, carries on IBA’s
legacy of thought leadership in the Islamic Finance industry.
The newly established Center for Entrepreneurial Development
(CED) at the IBA is a breeding ground for new business startups by the
students. The Center hosts more than 40 incubator and accelerator companies in
its premises and provides a conducive research and development environment for
innovation, and turning ideas into business opportunities. It aims to put
Karachi on the entrepreneurial map of the world. IBA has a 10 year
collaborative partnership with Babson College in Boston which is the top most
entrepreneurship institute in USA.
According to Time’s Educations, IBA was ranked among the top
600 Asian universities. Institute of Business Administration (IBA) Karachi has
established itself as the leading business institute of Pakistan. After putting
your efforts for 13 years, one does deserve a healthy campus life where he can
find new learning opportunities and feel like home every passing day, and where
he can find friends like a family who can be their support system. We believe
IBA is well known for providing quality campus life to its students. You may
hear people talking about a lot of stuff not good at IBA, but you will hardly
find anyone who will not be satisfied with IBA’s campus life.
