The recurrent theme of the 50 years 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. 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.rn Business education is one of the most effective means that a society possesses for encountering future challenges. Being one of the leading business schools in this part of the world, the Institute of Business Administration (IBA) provides a solid foundation to prepare students to meet this challenge.
Distinguishing features of the IBA are the induction of students through a systematic and merit-based admission process, training in a demanding academic environment, 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.
