PROFILE
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.
Vision
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
Quality Assurance Systems (SAQS) and gained membership of various

hours, weeks, months and years they spend preparing for it. The victorious
performance itself is merely the demonstration of their championship character.’’

MESSAGE OF THE
DEAN & DIRECTOR
The year 2015 is a turning point in IBA’s 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
Higher education starts with undergraduate studies leading upto graduate courses; these are stopovers in a student’s 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 master’s degree.
Courses at an undergraduate level, also referred to as bachelor’s 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 master’s 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.
