IBA Karachi Announces New Policies for Students

As the threat of COVID-19 looms over the academic future of students, the Institute of Business Administration Karachi has taken a major step to facilitate its prospective students in these challenging times. In a major policy revision, the IBA Karachi has added flexibility to its admission process to cater to the needs of prospective candidates.

IBA Karachi will accept A-Level grades awarded to students based on final exams and/or through guidance grading by the Cambridge Board. Additionally, for all candidates whose Intermediate and A-Level results are pending, IBA is working to accommodate them by granting them a provisional conditional admission offer. Such candidates will be permitted to give A-Level exams by the year-end and submit their results by early 2021 to secure their admissions.

IBA further plans to facilitate students who are giving their A-Level exams in October 2020 by offering a reduced course load so that they can remain focused without compromising on their A-Level exams happening alongside their studies at IBA.

Furthermore, IBA Karachi has also devised a mechanism that in case IBA admission tests do not take place due to the prevailing COVID-19 lockdown, admissions would be offered through interviews of shortlisted candidates.

The shortlisting criteria will be devised by the IBA Admissions Committee once all applications have been submitted by applicants by the deadline for each prospective program. Therefore, all prospective candidates are encouraged to visit IBA’s website for more information and fill in the application form with as much information as possible.

Announcing these policy changes, IBA Executive Director Dr. S Akbar Zaidi said that these changes have been made out of concern for prospective students, whose academic future is of paramount importance to the Institute. He said that IBA Karachi plans to begin the next academic year on time and will leave no stone unturned for the timely graduation of upcoming intake.

We will try our best to make our admission process as flexible as we can, while upholding merit and ensuring quality, to cater to the needs of these students affected by extraordinary circumstances.

IBA Admission Office is also working tirelessly, answering all queries of the prospective candidates to minimize the prevailing uncertainty.
