IntroductionEducation in Pakistan is divided into five levels: primary (grades one through five); middle (grades six through eight); high (grades nine and ten, leading to the Secondary School Certificate); intermediate (grades eleven and twelve, leading to a Higher Secondary School Certificate); and university programs leading to graduate and advanced degrees.

All academic education institutions are the responsibility of the provincial governments. The federal government mostly assists in curriculum development, accreditation and some financing of research.

Islamabad has the highest literacy rate in the country at 72.38%, where as Musa Khel has the lowest at a meager 10.37%.[5] Between 2000—2004, Pakistanis in the age group 55–64, had a literacy rate of almost 30%, those aged between 45–54 had a literacy rate of nearly 40%, whilst those between 25–34 had a literacy rate of 50%, where as, amongst those between 15–24, more than 60% were literates.[6]. As you can see, with every passing generation, the literacy rate in Pakistan is rising by around 10%.

A significant contribution to education is made by the hundreds of schools operated by the Catholic Board of Education, the education arm of the Roman Catholic Church in Pakistan, which is disproportionate to the size of the Christian community.

SUPERIOR UNIVERSITY

Our History

In the year 2000 when the world was moving towards a new millennium, South Asian Educational Promotion Network was making plans to develop educational facilities in Pakistan. They were in search of such leadership which could fulfill their aims and make that project a success. They found the leadership in the form of Prof. Dr. Ch. Abdul Rehman, who was a young passionate person with lots of enthusiasm to do big for his country and to bring a positive change in the society. The amalgamation/ meeting of two giants was fruitful and the first campus with the name of Superior started working in 31-Tipu Block, New Garden Town, Lahore. The right mix of team was selected to sum this passionate institution. It was the purity of purpose that in the first year Superior had an enrollment of 1000 students. The message was in air for all competitors that ‘SUPERIOR IS HERE TO STAY’. Next year the number doubled and then rest is ‘history’. Every year the name started to rise and grew more respected in the eyes of all academic circles. In 2003 Superior got NOC from the Govt. of the Punjab.

Just after a year it was elevated to another level through the charter. Superior Group of Colleges was recognized as a degree awarding institute. In 2007 Superior decided to expand and the search started for a project director who could fulfill this dream. As it is always said in Superior that you have to run after your dreams to achieve them. This attitude was found in a person who was recognized as the best managerial resource. The board of directors showed their full confidence on Mr. Rana Adeel Mumtaz and was hopeful that he could bring the desired results. The task was taken up and colleges were opened in Faisalabad, Okara, Multan and Raheem Yar Khan. Here also a phenomenal growth was shown in the first year. This project underwent great success and in 2008 Sargodha campus was opened and in the first year it was a mega success.

Now in 2009 a new college has opened in Sialkot. This is not the end Superior family is still looking for new avenues. Like any success story, Superior’s tale of miracles does not end here, it has been transformed from the fastest

Welcome to Bahria University, an Institute of unbounded potential with quality and innovation as our guiding star. Since I took over as Rector Bahria University, I have observed an aptitude of limitless prospects within the students. It is my vision to make Bahria University the best educational institute in the country.

This challenge may seem daunting, but I am confident we will rise to the occasion. It will entail discipline and integrated effort, as they say “NONE OF US IS AS SMART AS ALL OF US”. I want to create an environment of collaboration and teamwork to make this vision our collective obligation. In order to imbue leadership and instill discipline while maintaining the friendly environment, we must create an interactive student based learning environment where the student’s mind can thrive with creativity.

We also need to work on the weakest link of the class to ensure superior standards and produce human resource of the highest quality.

We have to pursue self reliance, for independence begets genius. We must be self dependant in order to lead. To be the best we have to rely on our own originality and imagination.

My strategy to achieve the vision is to incorporate practicality with theory. We must create the requisite bridge between the university and the corporate sector, opening the doors for immense research potential which in turn will allow the students to utilize their academic knowledge for practical projects.

| P a g e | 16


We must blend the right balance of short-term focus and long-term ambition, for ourselves and for the coming generations whose opportunities will be shaped by our choices. Each student has to be groomed to be a leader.

Brief History:

Pakistan Navy established Bahria Institute at Islamabad and Karachi in the late eighties. These Institutes were aimed at providing quality and uninterrupted education up to Intermediate level, to the children of naval personnel on their transfer from one station to another and in turn to contribute to the cause of promotion of education at the national level. Over the years these Institutes grew in size and facilities, leading to the starting of BBA and B.Sc(CS) classes in 1995.

These programs have since been upgraded to BBA (Hons), BCS (Hons) and MBA, MCS Programs which were introduced in Fall 1997 as 'evening programs' run under the management of two independent 'Institutes' one each at Karachi and Islamabad respectively. The institutes are known as "Bahria Institute of Management and Computer Science" short title "BIM&CS" suffixed with the location i.e. Karachi or Islamabad.

Objectives:

Bahria University, though very young, has the will and determination to develop and attain the objectives set forth below:

Ensure academic excellence through quality education in disciplined and peaceful learning environments.

Establish Campuses, Research Institutes, Schools and Colleges across the length and breadth of Pakistan to turn population explosion into knowledge based force.

Prepare the younger generation to become future leaders and managers for a prosperous and educated Pakistan, through development of their mental, moral and professional strengths.


Constantly monitor and upgrade facilities and update the curricula to keep pace with the emerging trends and technologies.

Coordinate and provide facilities for exchange of knowledge and applied research in the newly emerging fields in collaboration with national and international Universities and research institutes.

Quaidi-i-Azam Campus (New Campus) The vast Quaid-e-Azam Campus, surrounded by the busy city areas, has grown over the years into a comprehensive center of academic activity. It accommodates academic blocks, student hostels, staff residences, a Medical Complex, sports fields, swimming pool, a Boat Club and other facilities.

History of IBA

IBA is the oldest business school outside North America. It was established 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. The course contents, the curriculum, the pedagogical tools and the assessment and testing methods were developed under the guidance of reputed scholars from these two institutions. IBA has jealously guarded the high standards and academic traditions it had inherited from Wharton and USC while adapting and adjusting them with the passage of time. A large number of Pakistani faculty members received advanced degrees from Wharton and the University of Southern California.

Till 1994, the University of Karachi awarded degrees to the graduates. In that year the Sindh Assembly elevated the Institute's status to that of a degree-awarding institution. A bill is pending in the Assembly for conferring the status of a University to IBA. Inspite of 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 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 into a four-year BBA program.

| P a g e | 43


The Center for Computer Studies was established 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 BBA (MIS), MBA (MIS) and BS (Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology), MS (Computer Science, Software Engineering, Information Technology) 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 addition a PhD program in MIS/Computer Science and Engineering/ICT has been launched from August 2005.

The Center for Executive Education offers Executive MBA programs for mid level public sector, non–profit sector and private sector executives, organizes customized courses for the corporate clients and holds short courses on emerging issues and themes for those engaged in business. A new Center for Entrepreneurial Development is being established and will become fully functional in 2010.

The IBA Philosophy

The recurrent theme of the 50 years of IBA's existence is that business education should be rigorous but also 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. They are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning, to become active participants and leaders, and to apply their knowledge in real-world context.The IBA programs are designed to provide world-class professional managers and entrepreneurs for the business and industry in Pakistan.

| P a g e | 44


IBA Students

About 1600 students are currently enrolled at the MBA, BBA and BCS programs. MBA program consists of two years (4 semesters) while BBA program extends over four years (8 semesters). Distinguishing features of the IBA are the induction of students through a systematic and merit-based admission process, training in a demanding academic environment, supervised internships or attachment with industry and on-time completion of study programs. Admission procedures, curricula, methods of instruction and the system of examinations at the IBA give it a unique position among leading educational institutions in Pakistan.

The IBA ensures that no student is deprived of education at the Institute because of financial constraints. Scholarships, stipends and financial assistance are provided on the basis of need. A National Talent Hunt Program aims at attracting and training poor but meritorious students from the backward districts of Pakistan to enter IBA.

Students take part in a broad variety of activities ranging from volunteering for charity work and participating in athletic events to organizing conferences on a variety of business issues. A spirit of involvement is important because teamwork, leadership and being a responsible citizen are the foundations of the IBA experience.

IBA Faculty

IBA has 80 full time and 85 part time and visiting faculty members teaching courses in Management, Marketing, HR, Strategy, Finance, Economics, Quantitative Methods, Organizational Behavior, Computer Sciences, Ethics, Social Sciences, Chinese, Arabic. The faculty is drawn from two streams i.e. academic and practice. Academic faculty mostly consists of those holding Doctorate or Master’s degrees from well reputed

| P a g e | 45


universities while the faculty in practice draws upon the large reservoirs of top leaders, chief executives, senior managers who are and have been associated with the corporate sector. This blend of faculty ensures academic rigor as well as practical relevance in the design and delivery of courses at IBA. Academic faculty members are engaged in research and writing professional papers, advising companies and organizing training courses for the industry, public sector etc. A variety of pedagogical tools is deployed at the Institute ranging from lectures, class participation, case studies, research reports, company visits to equip the students.

IBA Alumni

IBA has produced about 8000 graduates to-date, each one being an outstanding professional. Most of the Chief Executives and top management positions in leading listed companies, corporations and banks are held by the alumni of IBA. The IBA graduates have worked and matched in performance with the graduates of the most renowned business schools of the world and is the school of choice for most of the young men and women interested in careers and leadership in business. A large number of IBA graduates are working outside Pakistan in the Middle East, UK, Canada and the United States. Among its prominent alumni is one of the former Prime Ministers of Pakistan.

Governance and Management

A Board of Governors consisting of 17 members drawn from the representatives of the government, private sector, prominent educationists, alumni, eminent citizens and faculty oversees the operation of the IBA, sets the policy and the strategy and supervises the financial management of the Institute. The Institute is headed by Dean/Director who is assisted by Associate Deans, chairpersons of the departments on the academic side with the heads of support departments on the administrative affairs. The IBA relies on student tuition fees, income from Executive Education, and

| P a g e | 46


income from Endowment Fund and other funds. Capital expenditure and human resource development for faculty development are financed by grants from the Higher Education Commission, private sector and foundations.

Future Strategic Direction

Having realized that it can no longer thrive on its past laurels and has to adapt itself to the changing market demands IBA has embarked upon an ambitious five year strategic plan with the objective to become one of the top 100 global business schools and one of the top 10 regional business schools. It has benchmarked itself against a few chosen business schools in India, Singapore, China, Hong Kong and Turkey. The four pillars of this strategy are

Investment in physical infrastructure Faculty Development Technology up gradation Community outreach and links to industry

IBA is exploring collaborative partnerships, alliances and exchange programs with the top business schools. Generous financial supports from HEC, foundations, private sector have been obtained to implement this plan in the next five years. IBA has recently become the first institution in Pakistan to become partner of CFA Institute, SAP University alliance and other such ventures. Seeking accreditation to the Asian, European and US bodies are part of the plan. The management is seeking other avenues of collaboration with the Universities and B-schools in Asia.
